This is awesome. This story is claiming that gamers were “duped” by Sega asking for Dreamcast serial numbers over the weekend, and that the domain “dreamcast.com” is not owned by the company.
Using amazing internet skills, videogaming247.com has confirmed that Sega does, in fact, own Dreamcast.com. From the whois registry:
Domain Name: DREAMCAST.COM
Registrant:
SEGA CORPORATION
Shoji Takamitsu (Shoji_Takamitsu@sega.co.jp)

Give Shoji a ring if you like, just to be doubly sure.
The outcome of registering your Dreamcast on the site is that you’re given a Dreamcast branded email account. Dreamcast’s tenth anniversary is this year, so rumour is obviously rampant that getting your machine’s identity on the list will have another benefit somewhere down the line.

According to the dreaded Wikipedia, the original [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast#Launch]launch[/url] for Dreamcast in Japan was November 1998.
So the site is due to expire about five months before the 10th anniversary!
LOLsome.
