The Trusty Sega-Brand VMU - But Blue, April 27, 2000
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
Well, there's not too much to say about the VMU. This is the Sega branded VMU, which I always recommend for memory cards. Third-party cards tend to be too unreliable to trust with hard-earned game data. Anyway, this baby has 200 blocks of memory and comes in a sort-of-clear blue casing that is drool-inducing--if you really, really like blue. Definitely better than the regular grey VMU because . . . well, it's grey.So buy this VMU, save your game data, and enjoy your Dreamcasting.

VMUs are probably the coolest idea since games on CD..., November 23, 2000
The VMU is not only a very cool idea, it's essential if you want to play just about any game on Dreamcast. If you're used to a cartridge-based system, allow me to explain. Unlike on a cartridge, there is no space to store any save data on a CD-ROM (or GD-ROM).. the ROM is Read-Only Memory, meaning you can't write. So, you're playing ... Sonic Adventure, or Shenmue, or any game that lasts more than about two hours.. and you've been playing for a long time, you're tired, you want to do that unknown thing called sleep. You go to save.. and scream. It says that you need a VMU to save. AAaaarrgh! Some features of games can also only be unlocked using the VMU - you can download minigames to it, and play them like a Game Boy. If you examine it closely, it kind of looks like a Game Boy, actually..Now, let's say you have a VMU. Not the Sega one, mind you, but a third-party one that has about 100x the memory. Great! ..Till you wake up in the morning, and it says "Save file corrupted". This time, you scream so loud you can hear it in Russia. I can't stress this point enough - ALWAYS get first-party memory cards. They're much more reliable .. and that 100x Super VMU Bango Whiz Gee Oh! that you bought doesn't have a screen to play games on. - Again, you also fall in love with that COOL blue color :P

VMU= Very Much Underated, November 18, 2000
The VMU is so cool. I love the mini games. Chao adventure, soul caliber,pac man, and alot more (all must be dowloaded through planetweb). I love the cool translucent colors (red,black,yellow,blue,and green). fits in your pocket and you palm. the lcd screen is also very cool. it tell you how much memory you have used and have left. you can set the time and have a dog,fish,or bird flying around. if you have a chao saved is sonic adventure, you can walk him through different worlds and feed him fruit. they take 2 cr2032 batteries. do not use them constantly (while not in you controller) for they will run out of battery. even if you run out of battery, you can still make them work when they are in the controller. with the 8-bit proccesor, they also tell you what game your are playing by showing a cool animated title. In tony hawk, it even tellls you how many points your last trick was and say stuff like "bummer", "darn", "sweet", and other cool stuff. SO GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT!
