PS2 and DC June Finalized Schedule
   A few additions to the Playstation 2 release schedule for June but otherwise, nothing significant. The summer starts off with a lackluster assortment of software on both Dreamcast and PS2.

Maracas Update
   No mas, it seems, at least for now. Most of our Japanese vendors have returned from the Golden Week holiday but it appears that the Maracas controllers for use with Sambe de Amigo will no longer be available unless Sega produces another batch of this item. For reference, NCS pricing for the Maracas and Mat box set was US$85. If we can locate scant supply outside of the reproduction, we'll offer them to our customers based on pre-orders that we have received already. NCS is not accepting new pre-orders for the Maracas at this time although Samba de Amigo is currently in stock.
Dreamcast Magazine Vol. 17
   The latest issue features informative spreads on Sakura Project 2000 (The pink VMS included with Remake LE is unveiled), Jet Set Radio, Eternal Arcadia, Rent a Hero No. 1, Street Fighter Third Strike and Gun Spike. The Sakura Project also gives readers a glimpse at the upcoming Pocket Sakura which looks like a pink Tamagotchi sans weird beasties.
NGP Memories Off Pure | JPN
   Handheld anime dating game for the amorous traveller. Memories Off Pure will be compatible with the Dreamcast version of Memories Off for data exchange when it is released in late June.
Memories Off Pure Kid US$39
E3
   Things in the USA will likely crawl this week in terms of business since most of the industry players will be attending E3. Japan and Asia are also lackadaisical with many of our vendors going to the show to see what's up from Sony, Sega, and Nintendo. We're mostly interested to see how Sega is going to handle their on-line strategy and of course, Sony's announcement on the stateside PS2.
PS2 v1.01 Drivers Debunk
   A new region unlock method purported to play American DVDs using the latest v1.01 drivers disc from Sony does not work. If you have purchased a PS2 from NCS, please do not load the v1.01 drivers onto your memory card to try the new trick as it will erase the v1.0 drivers that we have loaded onto your card. It is doubtful that Sony will allow another backdoor or loophole in their latest software but any discovery from our customer base is always welcome.
