My blog's URL is http://www.retronick.com

I've got a Dreamcast I've had since launch and 2 different monitors to test it out with, along with an LCD TV with VGA support.
Nice name :)
I think we can work something out!

Thanks! (Likewise :D),
Look forward to hearing from ya.

Hey,

I'm George. I'm the founder of SEGAbits. A SEGA news blog/review site. The staff has been talking about getting into reviewing hardware and accessories. I think a product like this would be great to launch that.

Well, my blogs still pretty young to be perfectly honest, but I'm all for giving shout outs to the Racketboy store and community. Plus, the DC is my favorite system and I haven't done any articles for it yet. I have about 800 views since launching it a couple months ago, but over 3/4 of the views have been in the last month so it's been rising exponentially as I throw up more articles.

Just let me know if you're interested. I could also do a (nice quality/professional) video review that would take more time, but would easily hit a much wider audience.

I report for the video game news blog The VG Resource (http://www.vg-resource.com/), which is apart of the Spriters Resource network. We currently get 500,000 visitors a month and have a thriving community of message board users. I'd love to review one of these VGA boxes for tVGr and link to your store ;]

Hello,

My name is Kris Knigge, and much like George, I write for a Sega fansite. I'm one of the founding members of Sega Addicts. Our site is strongly focused around our podcast (which we've done over fifty episodes of), but we also do daily news articles, features, and an assortment of Sega-related reviews, retro and modern.

I'm primarily a Sega Saturn enthusiast, but I love my Dreamcast as well, and I'd be delighted to have a chance to review your VGA cable! However, in the interest of full disclosure, I have not done many hardware reviews, nor am I familiar with taking screen captures, so comparison shots might not be up to the quality that they could be.

Anyway, thanks for your time and the potential opportunity!

Late to the party.

Anyone writing a review, maybe bring up a relatively unknown advantage of going VGA. In this age of LCDs and HDs, with a VGA CRT monitor the Dreamcast Lightgun can be utilized again!

I posted a quip about this with a pic of House of the Dead running on a VGA CRT computer monitor. Its at my CRT vs LCDs Lightguns signature link.

That is nice write up. If I do test it out, I will probably run it in more than once screen. I have a CRT Monitor, LCD Monitor and HDTV (LCD most likely, so it wouldn't matter. But its 40+ inches).

I will see if I can get anything else if I do it.

I dont use my blog anymore, just really uploads to Youtube. I dont think I count as 'established' but thought I would say this is how business should be done, with everyone winning.
