It can't be true. can it?

SEGA to combat piracy head on
21-Jan 19:51

SEGA are making a serious move to counter the increasing amount of piracy that is plaguing the poor Dreamcast console. An updated console is being sold, that patches up a glitch in the BIOS of the original system, which allowed punters to play their home-brewed copies. Known as 'back-ups', by the dealers to save their own asses, the pirated games fit on a conventional CD-ROM by means of compression and by excluding FMV footage, or even soundtracks in some cases. All the existing Dreamcast models will be restocked with the 2nd-generation model as they are sold. Oh incase you're wondering, the new version will still be able to play Audio CDs. If you ask me, I bet the older systems will be in greater demand than the new stuff.. hmm.. wonder why...
