How to get Google to honor the Dreamcast?
Well seeing how Google likes to honor all sorts of pop culture icons and namesakes with their front page logo, I was wondering how can I contact Google, and with the help and bumps from you guys see if they'll put some Dreamcast montage onto their front page logo on 9/9/09 for the DC's 10th Anniv.?

How would we go about doing this though?
Does anyone here have a Digg account to post this up and see if it hits the first page?

Probably a bit too close to the date even if they were open to the idea, cool as it is. Perhaps the press contact on the right of this page:

Re: How to get Google to honor the Dreamcast?
I guess I'll try that tomorrow.
Still though does anyone know of a way that we can get more people to hear about this, like some sort of big internet media site. I pretty much only have an account here at RacketBoy so I don't really comment or submit much to other sites.
Does anyone else have a good rep. with a big gaming media outlet and won't mind doing so?

Re: How to get Google to honor the Dreamcast?
I'd go as far as molesting children (okay not that far... or would I?) to get the Dreamcast honored by Google. Then again though, if more people are exposed to it, the less systems there are for me to keep for myself. 

Older. Not wiser.
Re: How to get Google to honor the Dreamcast?
it seems near impossible to be able to do this. i have an idea, but i have no idea if it will work. in fact i doubt it. but ill put it up for the sake of dreamcast and sega. we could all upload video's on youtube saying what we wish to do that will put our numbers up on people. we can ask them to sign a petition. of course we need to somehow to send this to google. well its an idea and im up for doing it. but once again i don't think it will work plus it sounds a little retarded, but its the only thing i can think of at this time since im tired.

Bah, there's still plenty of DC love to go around. We need to get people to treat their DC's with the love they treat their NES's and get some of theme hooked back up in VGA on people's new HDTV's for some real DC action on a large scale!

It probably will be a Beatles day. On September 9, the Beatles will release their entire catalog, digitally re-mastered for the first time, on CD. The same day, The Beatles: Rock Band will be released.
999 is also the british emergency number like the US 911.

That would be awesome.. Sega Dreamcast deserves so much respect. It brought us so many great games like Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, etc..
