actually, the PS only runs CD-R and games of other locales if you modify the playstation in some way.. or if you have an older playstation. There are ways to get around this, but they're quite a pain to do (I've tried it.. with import games;P ) I cant vouch for VGS, but from what I've read, I'm under the impression that it has various types of locale and pirating protection.
I think a lot of you people are judging this system too early, just because it runs WinCE.. I've played around on a Japanese Dreamcast a few times, and I was impressed. And again, like has been said so many times before, it is just CE *CAPABLE*, that doesnt mean every game on it is gonna run CE.. as a matter of fact, most probably aren't. Again, like has been said so many times, video games arent about how fast the drive is, or who has the fastest processors, or the best video capabilities.. its about if you enjoy the games. If you play a Dreamcast and play some games on it, and you don't like it, more power to you.. but dont bash a system just because Microsoft had its hand in some of the development process..
