They want the Dreamcast to be an always evolving machine... They announed a DVD add on... A Hard Drive add on... They now have a Rumble add on... They have a modem upgrade in the works.. Bernie Stolar CEO Sega of America announced this a couple of days ago... I surely hope he didn't think this would grab the attention of North American gamers... I'm surely not pleased as it reflect bad on the console industry as a whole.. I mean come on... Isn't the point of console gaming to upgrade the unit as little as possible and enjoy the great games... I'm sick and tired of Microsoft trying to get into the console industry.... They are obviously trying to make the Dreamcast more PC like... Sheeeesshhh....
