Donation button put up, server move details

We have put up a donation button on the right hand side (points to it), so if any of you guys want to help out the site by dropping a few dollars our way we appreciate it. Also, we will be moving servers soon, hopefully in the next few days. This will mean some down time, hopefully not too much. Some users have been contacting me via e-mail and MSN that they heard rumors that the site was joining some network. False. We are not for sale, but thanks for shopping.

Outside of the server move, not much to talk about here. We will be changing some stuff around the main page and the forums, but not big changes. I’m quite happy with our sites layout and functionality. Suggestions?

Remember that Alpha Protocol comes out on June 1st in America. Amazon has the game a few bucks cheaper, so drop in that pre-order if you haven’t yet. The game is coming to the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

The Resonance of Fate winner is…


So it is time to announce the winner for the Resonance of Fate giveaway, the winner is… Joseph Carter. Funny thing, he is one of the few people to actually get the comparison right. If you didn’t know, there were 4 things wrong with the photo.

  • Sonic Team logo in the left, top corner. (you did not have to say it was a Sonic Team logo. Just that there was something)
  • Leanne ‘s flower is missing in the doctored shot.
  • Leanne’s necklace is missing in the doctored shot.
  • One of Zephyr’s buttons is missing from his coat.

The items will be shipped out tomorrow (this includes the Valkyria Chronicles ones as well). Talking about tomorrow, we will also have a BIG prize to give away. Details posted tomorrow.

SEGAbits .5 and the future


Hello SEGAbytes, is that what we should call you guys? Maybe? Most likely not because it sounds like a cheesy television show from the 90’s. Regardless we have launched a SEGAbits .5, just minor changes behind the scene and the new featured bar (up above). Like always we are open to suggestions.

As for the future, we have some projects we are kicking around that we are not going to reveal just yet. We do however plan to start up weekly features and original content. I will like to thank our incredible community for the support and all you readers for making our launch successful. Yes, today this site turns 2 months old, seems longer doesn’t it?

SEGAbits teams up with Square-Enix fan site


We promised an exciting future for SEGAbits and we are going to deliver. We have decided to team up with a Final Fantasy website and launch Square-Enix Bits; which we hope will be your number one source for Final Fantasy and Square-Enix related news.

As a way to celebrate our new venture, we have decided to theme our site in celebration of this event. Have fun and remember, blue skies in games.
