Dreamcast Advert on eXistenZ DVD (Region 2)   Message List

Re: [DCBG] Dreamcast Advert on eXistenZ DVD (Region 2)

No, I don't think so. Basically Sega with their marketing pounds, decided to sponsor the release of eXistenZ (because of its Videogame themes) when it was released prior to the Dreamcast's launch (sometime in summer 1999), they had Dreamcast pods and videos running at the premiere, it was just a PR stunt really.

So the money they got from Sega obviously went into the DVDs release too, hence why there is a Dreamcast logo on the back of the box at the bottom ( I think) and the trailer reel on the DVD itself.

Hope that helps,

David Balson

Hi folks,

I bought the Region 2 (PAL) version of eXistenZ (starring Jennifer Jason Leigh) the other week and was shocked to discover that there is a link on the main menu that lets you select the DC logo.  Selecting the logo gives you a 10 minute advert featuring clips from some of the DC's games and the original DreamArena too :)

Do any other DVD's feature DC ads?
