Sega of Japan has filed an updated trademark for the term "Dreamcast" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, leading to speculation that the third-party publisher may be plotting a return to the hardware market.

Another popular theory is that the updated trademark represents Sega's protection of the brand, especially as the emulation of former Dreamcast titles, perhaps via digital download, is possible on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, or another unreleased dedicated platform.

That info is about two weeks old. Since, it first broke, SEGA has said that they have no plans to re-enter the console market, as they are quite happy just be a software publisher. They are just renewing thier trademarks for the original DC. Possibly for future VC/X-box Live type uses.

I was really exicited when I heard about this, too. Oh well. We can always dream.

Yeah, I know it's old news, but I also didn't recall anyone posting about it.

The Dreamcast was pretty awesome, and ahead of its time for the most part. I miss Sega.
