SEGA promotes Japan relief auctions with free Dreamcast PS3 theme


[American Theme/European Theme]

If you didn’t know, SEGA is selling tons of rare swag on ebay. Nice right? To help promote this, they are giving a free PSN theme away. The theme comes in two flavors, European and American.

What is the difference? The European Dreamcast had a blue swirl, thus the theme is more blue and the American had an orange swirl, making the theme more orange.

Since PSN is down, download below:

Someone buy me a copy of Shenmue signed by Yu Suzuki, please?

SEGA app store makes $250,000 for Japanese Relief Efforts


If you didn’t know, SEGA had an iOS app store sale and all money made from the sale went directly to the Red Cross to help with efforts in Japan. It was a smashing success, earning over $250,000!

Doesn’t stop there, do you still want to give your hard earned cash and get some SEGA goodness out of it? You can still place bids on SEGA’s rare swag over at their Ebay page.

Yakuza: of the End release date hits TBA status

[…Hm…yeah, I can understand why this might be an issue]

In a move that’s not all that surprising given the devastating earthquakes in Japan, SEGA has decided to move Yakuza: Of the End from its March 17th Japanese release date. No new date was given.

This is not a first for SEGA, who cancelled Propeller Arena’s release back on the Dreamcast due to the September 11th terrorist attacks. That game never saw release, a fate that hopefully won’t be shared by Yakuza: of the End.

Last year’s entry in the Yakuza series, Yakuza 4, a game which doesn’t involve a zombie apocalypse, will be releasing this week as planned in Western territories.
