i'm not all to sure about the legality of television commercials. i'm fairly certain they are legal, but i dunno. if anyone can host them somewhere, (not one of those crappy thinger mambober websites) then i'll send them all to whoever.

i have a total of 1.1 gigs of sega related videos, but i think some of them are in game videos and non commercial stuff.

edit: just sorted through it all, i have a total of 65 commercials and other promotional videos for sega (around 10 of um are definetly not commercials but possibly were shown at conventions or something). it totals to 330mb

Maybe not the quality you're looking for, but there is certainly quantity. There's even a Half-Life video in there (actually 2) and a Propellor Arena video too. Some of them might be preview movies for magazines like DreamOn, etc.

Sorry, above link is for the Dreamcast videos - to get a list of all systems, go to the main page, select your platform, then enjoy.

BTW, it seems if you download the files, the quality is better.

the two half life videos were made by warez groups, they arent official.

Distributing commercials shouldn't be much of a problem I'd say as it's free advertising for the company. Even though they won't make money of it anymore.

http://www.planetxbox.com/shenmuedojo has some DC Shenmue commercial links to fileplanet. It's where I got some nice videos

I've only seen one DC ad in the UK, I think there was a beach in it or something and the ad was promoting the machines internet capabilities.

Also SEGA sponsored Arsenal FC, With SEGA on the Home Kit and Dreamcast on the away kit. I find this ironic as there was not a single decent football game available for the system, If the DC would have had something like ISS/PRO EVO/WE/Sensible Soccer to tie in with the sponsorship, It would have been a lot more effective.

Aside from the "9/9/99" print ad, I am very embarassed to admit that I don't remember any of old dc ads

I had a dc when they first debuted but stupidly traded it in for a ps2; a decision I regret.....

Wow, I was actually thinking about hosting all the DC-related commercials sometime during the summer when I get around to remaking our website.

I have a Shenmue 2 movie, Samba De Amigo ver. 2000 (funny), and I think several others.

Can somebody host his/her video's? That would be really cool

I'll host everybodys' and I was planning on having a whole section of TCR dedicated to them (assuming I have enough space on the webserver). The only problem would be whether that's legal or not... Would hosting commercials like that be illegal in any way?

Yes, but only by the letter of the law, like spitting on someone's lawn, or kung fu fighting with a friend at the beach for a homemade movie. =_=

ive only seen the ads in my country when they released it in 2000...
they promoted the dreamcast as a "educational tool"

I've only seen one Dreamcast commercial irl. It sucks. It never got any respect where I live, the damn thing's unheard of.

I think it was a Chu Chu Rocket commercial, but I only saw it once. I have it on my comp, but only saw it once.. damn.
