E3: U.S. Dreamcast to include modem

[05.13.99] » The inclusion of a 56.6 kbps modem won't affect the Dreamcast's $199 price.

   For once, the rumors proved to be false. Whisperings that the North American Dreamcast would not include a modem were crushed when Sega announced that all the systems would include a 56.6 kbps modem. The modem's inclusion will not affect the previously announced $199 MSRP.

   Sega's Internet plans not only include online gaming, but also save file exchanging, user pages, web browsing, and Dreamcast message boards.
