Have you seen a Dreamcast in a TV show, movie, or other media? Have a screenshot, picture, or video? Post it here. If it was in a TV show please say the name of the episode or episode number. Here are a few I found over at the Dreamcast Junkyard:

I was going to say Jet Set Radio in No Doubt's video for 'Hella Good' ....... but on further investigation I now realise it was JSRF on Xbox ?. At least there is an Xbox pad in shot so I'm presuming it's the Xbox version. Oh well, for us Sega fans it was still a nice sight back then so here it is anyway:

^That is definitely JSRF. In JSR/JGR your player has to stop in order to draw graffiti, in JSRF and in that video, the player can spray graffiti while skating or grinding past the spot.

Oh! I remember seeing a DC in an episodes of The Drew Carey Show as well as seeing one in a spanish sitcom called "Vecinos". Alas, I don't know in what episodes they appear in for both (DC appears multiple times in the Drew Carey show and bizzarely enough, in that spanish sitcom, the dude that was playing his DC has an 360 headset as he was playing online with his DC LOL!) OH!!! Also the DC is mentionedand seen in an episode of MTV Cribs as they check out hip hop artist Redman! Shit was epic to me :)

Yeah, I think you're right. Anyway, judging by the content in the rest of the vid, they should have been playing Surf Rocket Racers on DC ;)

Yeah, I heard that. I'm scanning through some episodes to try and find it but so far (in season 6) I just see the Saturn. Apparently they replaced it with the Dreamcast later on.

I found this quote:
In the television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the characters of Nick Stokes and Warrick Brown were hinted to be playing Dreamcast sports games, and Stokes was shown playing a Football game with a Dreamcast controller early in the first season.
from here. They don't specifically mention Las Vegas though. Are you sure it wasn't the original series?
