I like the Dreamcast skin one. Too bad they're only real easing it in Japan for now.

Indeed, the DC one is a treat.

Mittz will have a heart attack with the title of this topic. I hope.

Lmao I guess it is a bit deceiving. It's not a lie though... maybe not the hardware we hoped for, but a piece o hardware nonetheless

I don't know if I'm reading it correctly, but it sounds like they're just putting licensed Mega Drive stickers on laptops made by somebody else.

Yes, it's the truth. He just has a poor heart for these matters.

There laptops would be a perfect opportunity to distribute classic games a'la a service like PSN and Steam.

Like I said in an other thread, Sega should release a commercial emulator that plays Dreamcast games at 1080p. NullDc does it. Sega can too.

I have been saying this for a long while now.
I even go as far as to suggest a limited edition console, with HD capabilities and 60 fps locked.
There's good money to be made there.

Well, one can always dream...

I believe the Dreamcast one does have higher specs than the other ones. And Adam, I unno, that just looks like a sticker :-p. These are some good looking skins from SEGA doe.

Course it's a sticker. I pt it there and the post was tongue and cheek. My PC is an Asus G75 so it's rather high end laptop. Like the commodore PC's a few years ago I didn't have impressive specs either

We all know it'll happen eventually anyway. It's like Shenmue III. They just need to be in a comfortable enough position and see a gap in the market. Might be next gen (after the PS4, Wii-U, Durango, etc.), might be in five generations. One thing's for sure though, it won't be until about 90% of the current board in Japan have moved on.
