Does anyone on UKNM know of anyone who's actually logged on to the Net in

the UK using a Dreamcast? What's it like?

Sega has delayed the European launch of its Dreamcast console by three

weeks.


The 128-bit console, which was originally due to be launched in the UK and

across Europe on September 23rd, will now hit retail on October 14th. CTW

understands that the delay is due to a number of critical factors involving

the machine's online capabilities.


Sega recently put back the launch of Dreamcast in Australia, although the US

launch is understood to be going ahead on September 9th as planned.


Commenting on the decision, J-F Cecillon, chief executive officer of Sega

Europe said, "Dreamcast involves the most advanced technology ever

incorporated into a games console. Our free Internet access is an industry

first and BT has been key in its creation across Europe."


A full report will appear in the next issue of CTW.
