SegaNet servers free for rest of 2002

It appears that Sega announced on August 1st that they are discontinuing their Dreamcast subscription service and, until the end of 2002, the SegaNet servers will be available to all online gamers. I've never personally used it myself, but those of you that want to play online that missed this announcement may want to check it out. Basically, it is unlimited head-to-head online gameplay via SegaNet through the end of 2002.

After that, Sega will shift their online focus to other platforms -- and will start shutting down the DC servers...

P.S. Note that PSOv2 is stil pay-to-play. It is the exception.

Yeah rogueingreen has always disliked our freind the PS2 :p I don't undestand why, but he prefers his dreamcast.

Yeah dreamcast is kewl I have one too, but I do prefer my PS2 and/or Gamecube at times rather then the DC.

Hey maybe I'll try seganet. :D Thanks for the headsup rogue

dc is way better than ps2, although there are no more games being relased for it, it would have beaten the ps2 so much if the ps2 hadnt been so overhyped, i know loads of people who are selling their ps2 now cos there are no decent games apart from gta3, which is now out on pc now anyway (mgs2 was too repetitive) theyre all buying x-boxes now
