huh? the myth was that the ones made after not before. the myth went something like this. to stop piracy Sega released some kind of update that would prevent the use of CD-Rs. how ever it is still bull shit. so far i have not seen a single Dreamcast that can't play CD-Rs

5. is definitely a myth because I see it backwards all the time and with different reasoning's.

1. Here's a less specific one: playing cd-r's (burned games) will damage your dreamcast GD-ROM drive/laser/motor/?????!?!?!!!.

2. Sega will make another Dreamcast.

Here's a good one:

Simon Jeffrey (President of Sega) tells the truth like he's on truth serum.

1) The PS2 was a better system then the Dreamcast.

Sorry, I was a bit mean. I just said it to be funny 8-) .


Simon Jeffery... not sure about him. Peter Moore... sucks that he had to pull the plug on DC.

That sucks you couldn't get a job at Sega, screw those mail room creepers.

Anyways we're getting off topic...

Simon Jeffery is a pathetic condescending rich mans son who has no people skills nor intellectual innovation what so ever.

As I said in my other thread anyone as pompous enough to call his own customers / fan base "Fanatics" should resign and be shown to the door.

Great topic, Smith. Here are my responses to the posts so far...

1. I like it, GPWASR10! My favorite link dispelling the PS2 vs Dreamcast war is on Youtube (below).

2. Smith - Yes, suits are not real people. It's like a billionaire trying understand why people can't afford new cars every year and what unemployment really is. Creativity comes from players and/or fans.

3. Funny stuff, Impulse! I believe Simon Jeffrey is still laughing about that "Sega will make another Dreamcast" thing...mostly when cashing his check!

4. Sega could care less if we feel "Humbugged" by them, mazonemayu (lol)!

5. TheCoolinator said it short and sweet, Simon Jeffrey should have been shown the door.

6. Gary_b, Radkin and I have come to the same conclusion, I have not seen a DC that has not played a CD-R.

I think that whole rumor was probably put out by Sega themselves to stop piracy.

There is also the myth that CD-R's make your Dreamcast break because it wears out the lazer. This is also hogwash. :!:
