"Various news sources such as Kotaku and Sega Nerds have posted news that http://www.dreamcast.com is asking Dreamcast owners if they still own their machine by registering their e-mail address and console serial number. The registration page is offline and "temporally" suspended, however there is a lot of evidence to prove that this site is in fact fake and not run by Sega.
This includes the source code of the site being poorly written, the server not being on Sega's dedicated servers, the e-mail verification coming from a non-Sega domain, Google Ads and Play-Asia advertising on the homepage, as well as a Sega Direct link, even though Sega Direct is due to close at the end of March."
Got this from Wikipedia. As much as I hope it's not a hoax, there is a lot of evidence to suggest it is. Either way, i'm still gonna sign up if the service comes back up, since I have 3 DC's I've got nothing to lose.

I wish I'd have chosen a more unique name when I joined this site... Bah, I was 12. Sue me.
