About new dreamcasts - Will they play backups?

[mrsan]

Woah bYtEsMaCk, ;-)

my post was to counter the arguement that piracy benefits sega, or that sega should in some way be "Thankful" to pirates.

There is NOTHING wrong with creating backup copies of your games, and I never said there was (its the sensible thing to do)

as for losing money on Dreamcast hardware: Its normal for consoles to be sold at a loss, The N64 is sold at £20 under production cost here in the uk

I'm unsure of the exact amount that sega lose on the dreamcast but I read it was around 20% in Edge...
