We recently
brought you news that German site Gamefront.de was
reporting an imminent re-release for the Dreamcast in Japan. Sadly, the rumour's been shot down by Sega Europe, but
there is a nugget of truth to it: Japanese customers who want to relive the glory days of Dreamcast will be able to
purchase refurbished units from Sega Direct.
Sega state on their web page that customers should "be aware that, although these units now function as brand new machines, they still bare a little external damage in the form of scratches and other imperfections." So unfortunately it's a re-sale rather than a re-release, but if someone else's discarded hardware gets you going, it's a bargain.
