It's been updated for the 10th anniversary. There was something on there asking for a serial number but it's flooded offline at the moment.

I think more people "still own a Dreamcast" than they expected. Interesting.

It's a scam. See here: http://dreamcast.dcemu.co.uk/scam-dreamcast-com-96112.html

Seems like kind of an obvious scam to me. The English font is not something you'd see on a normal website, the Japanese text isn't centered under the English (and why is the English text above the Japanese?) and the Japanese sentence is a bit awkward, I think.

What possible kind of scam could someone do with Dreamcast serial numbers?
It's one of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard...

It's not the DC serial# they're after, it's your e-mail address.

Well, that's a bummer. What a weird scam. I saw the news on the front page of Digg so it likely snared hundreds, if not thousands of people. Yikes. Anyhoo, since this panned out to be fake I'm going to lock this.
