Pros: Enough memory for most games You can trade data or play mini games on them against other VMUs All games that can save are compatable with it (high capacity memory cards gave me alot of trouble for saving.) Not too high of a price

Neutrals: Mini games take almost 2/3's of your memory (You can still save some small files though) Screen resolution isn't high enough, but at least it can pick your sports plays etc.

Cons Games like NFL2K take up a full VMU Batteries take some effort to find and dont last that long. Alot of games hardly use the VMU or just display pictures not related to what your doing (Sonic, Soul calibur, Power stone, nhl 2K, House of the dead) Actially all i own except NFL2K and Ready 2 Rumble. They may be cheap but i ended up getting 3 of them.

The vmu is really cool and the mini-games are a great little extra thing to have, but don't save sports games on it. They take up about 2/3 of the space. I highly recommend buying it because of the price ($X) and because it is made by SEGA. If you're into RPG's and fighting games, buy it!!

the 4x memory card is way better.
the reason i gave it 4 stars is because of mamory capacities. the vmu has very litle memory. if you only have 3 or less games this is good for you. but if your planing on getting more games or have a lot already get the 4x.
the good things about the vmu is that you can play mini games like with chao on sonic adventure 2 you can view and erase files on the litle screen but the bateries get sucked really fast! you can also conect 2 vmu's to play head to head. for shenmue the vmu shows you what buttons to push on the screen if your learning a new move.

The Sega Visual Memory unit is a great memory card! The LCD screen is awesome! It shows neat little graphics when you are playing a game, and there are mini-games you can download onto your VMU! The VMU might be the most advanced memory card on any gaming system out there right now! The only thing I don't like about the Sega VMU is that it only holds 200 blocks of memory. That's only enough to store one 2K2 sports game. But otherwise, this is a perfect memory card.

This is the green version of the Dreamcast VMU.
I think the color is very nice and goes perfectly with the green (well, semi-green, the normal SEGA brand green controller has the same smoke white underside like the normal controller) controller.
As for the VMU itself, it for the most part for anything other than a memory card is pretty silly, but still very neat.
Sometimes little things will happen on the screen while you're playing games or you can put mini games on it.
Though the mini game are usually crap, you need it to properly raise Chao in the Sonic Adventure series(with CR2032 batteries of course). I actually liked the memory game in Chao Adventure 1 though, :P.

If you're looking for storage, look for quality 4x ones, but if you want the usually Dreamcast memory card with the screen and buttons and have a green controller, this is perfect.

A very good option to store data for your sega dreamcast when getting a memory unit always try to get the one with the small screen and make sure its the original official from sega, this ones are named VMU this kind is better because some Dremcast games have mini games to unlock more stuff, you must win these minigmes, also try to get them brand new if possible with the cap and a transparent finish, they look cool.

The Sega VMU is simply amazing. It is not just a memory card, but it also shows the last time you used your game, a clock and games that you can download of Sega Net. It also has a great LCD screen which you can use to choose your plays in football games so your friends don't cheat. The only problem is the battery power is weak and it the VMU only holds 200 blocks which is just enough to save one Sega Sports 2K2. The Sega VMU is still a great deal for less than [money].

it's the same as other VMU's, but it has an awesome green color. Can't go wrong.

This is a good VMU. It allows you to play mini games on it.
The only thing that is not good is the batteries run out too fast if you play a lot. I think you should get it...

Mommy mommy this memory card is so much fun i want to go play some more
