Sega Link With Sky

Dreamcast packaged with Sky Digital

Sega have joined up with British Sky Broadcasting for an initiative that will see the Dreamcast packaged with the Sky Digital set-top box. It's the start of what Sega and Sky hope will be a beautiful relationship. The cross-promotion covers online content and marketing and should give the Dreamcast a significant push, certainly in terms of its profile with lounge lizards.

Sky will provide online editorial content and Sky's own Internet site will have a dedicated Dreamcast area. So, after our initial worries about the chances of Dreamcast becoming a success, it seems that Sega are beginning to make the right moves. We're certainly looking forward to the launch on September 23.

Do you think Dreamcast will be a success? If not, why not? Your thoughts to the usual feedback address please.

Vis's Carmageddon time?
