It dosen't let me go beyond the I agree!

I have just gained access to my free... gmail... "dreamcast"... email account... with a code for a user name so I will never remember the address...

2. Adds. Sega Japan NEVER use adds for anything apart from in house teams or Japanese affiliates. Never in their life would a big company like Sega want Play Asia or Google adds.

3. The mail addresses are very odd. Sega don't use these. I know because I get many official mails from Sega Japan.

4. Sega Direct links are pointless because it closes this month.

I think this is just a way to get peoples mail addressees for spam

Damn, but I can't understand. Isn't the site owned by Sega Japan?

Yes, however someone could have compromised the site and inserted their application without SEGA ever having known. I do feel that this isn't legitimate and strongly advise everyone to keep an eye on your mail activity and inbox, report any abuse to [email protected].

That's not the problem.

The main problem I see is that there is no info on what this is about. - If it's legitimate, they have to provide more information.

I am aware that it is possible that the website and the service still are under construction but why publish it if it doesn't do anything yet ?

The usuage of Google Apps, the missing Japanese translation (remember it's supposed to be a Japanese site!)... - All this doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever.


Still, we brought their service down in just a few hours; so IF it's legitimate, then they now know how many of us are out there. ;)
