As of 12:00am The Dreamcast is has now officially been released. People who have pre-ordered can pick up their systems now. Prior to today's launch, Sega tallied more than 300,000 pre-orders for the $199 machine - three times more than anticipated. Dreamcast games will sell for about $50 each. Industry watchers warn that Sega will need to keep introducing new games, building sales through next year for Dreamcast to succeed in the United States. But I think after the efficent hype they should have no trouble. They have to! They have managed to create a big buzz and now they have to deliver. If I were to get a Dreamcast machine and three or four games, I am running home to play it, and not coming back to work for a week. Come back later for news and reviews soon.
