Random Hong Kong Company Launches the 'Treamcast' - An Unofficial Portable Dreamcast

[Dreadknux]

The Dreamcast lives on... sort of. A company from Hong Kong has taken it upon themselves to keep the spirit of SEGA's final home console alive, by releasing a portable knock-off called the 'Treamcast'.

As you can see in the image above (from Gamespot), the unit looks very similar to an official Dreamcast console, with a portable monitor sticking out the top of it. There are also a few other variations, such as a volume dial and speaker on the side of the console.

Gamespot writes that the Treamcast, "contains mostly the same internal hardware as the original system, but the shell has been modified to include a speaker and volume control on the side of the unit, as well as an LCD screen. The entire Treamcast package includes two gamepads, a remote control for video CD or MP3 playback, a car adaptor, and a convenient carrying case."

Given the type of product it is, it's likely that you'll only be able to find this unique system in Hong Kong (or via online retailers such as Lik-Sang, which reported on the Treamcast originally). It will apparently go on sale for the equivalent of $170 - do you think it's worth it?
