  • Sonic Gets Some Credit

    News from SegaWeb.com

    Forget about 'smart chips', the coolest credit card on earth has just been unveiled.

    Sega of Japan has announced a partnership with Visa to produce a special edition credit card. Two versions will be available, one featuring Sega's mascot, Sonic and the other featuring Sega's network subsidiary, Isao.net (think the SegaNet of Japan).


    While certainly only available in Japan, the cards are very eye-catching and a must for Sega fans living there. Our readers living in Japan can sign up for the cards over here. Be warned, however, the presence of Sonic on the card might motivate you to shop even faster than usual.

    Game Cube Preview: Phantasy Star Online Ver.2

    News from SegaWeb.com:

    As part of Sega's new software-oriented business approach, they will be bringing the critically acclaimed PSO to the GameCube along with a host of improvements. The first title was a hit with gamers worldwide due to the fact that players across the world could play co-operatively in teams of four. Unfortunately it didn’t deliver the goods in the offline mode for those that didn’t have an Internet connection. This game was meant to be played online, you have to do this to fully appreciate what the game has to offer. I suppose that’s why it wasn’t called Phantasy Star Offline.
