This info comes from Gamespot:

Sega has announced that it plans to implement a flat rate for consumers interested in playing networked games over the company's SegaNet online service. As of November 1, the company will charge $9.95 a month for unlimited access to Sega's online multiplayer games, as well as features such as instant messaging, profile pages, and organized online tournaments. Starting November 1, existing SegaNet customers will have to pay to access the service. The flat rate covers every online Sega game other than the original Phantasy Star Online, which the company said would still be available for free because it runs on its own servers.

As announced earlier, the SegaNet service will be rolled out across all upcoming and current platforms, including the Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation 2, and the Nintendo GameCube for online games. It will continue to support Dreamcast games. The SegaNet ISP service, which was originally introduced alongside the launch of the network, was discontinued in July.

Sonic Team has updated it's Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Page. It's all in Japanese, but it shows a few new pictures and multiplayer scenes (like Shadow in City Escape). See them Here.

Hey wassup I thought I could help you out with updating you Big the cat sightings section. I spotted him in Sky Rail. As soon as you start the level look towards the ledge at the bottom right corner and you'll see his back turned. In Lost Colony, as you go up on the elevator there are alot of robots you have to blast in order to keepthe room lit. Look on the left side of the screen and you'll see him chillin out on the wall. In Prison Lane, before Tails gets on the elevator there is a short tunnel. and there is a small jail cell where you can see Big's hands and as you walk further you can see his body. I'll keep you guys updated if I see him again anywhere else. Bye! If you have any questions about it email me at BIOHAZARD22587@hotmail.com
