That's interesting. I wonder what the video game landscape would have been like had this been released.

Pardon my ignorance, but other than this console being between the Saturn and Dreamcast, and never seeing the light of day, what made the Pluto significant?

Not a whole lot really besides adding a modem...I think folks at Sega where under a lot of pressure at the time to make something that would make Sega top dog in the console market...this was probably one of quite a few prototypes that were made during this era.  It is cool to see that the embedded modem idea survived into the Dreamcast though.

Sweet! How weird is it that they designed an interely new console just for inclusion of a modem. An add-on would have been so much more convenient.

The modem was an add-on... Smiley

The equivalent of the PSTwo slim redesign.
Everything in one!

I admit though it is pretty strange that it would need a codename and so much mysticism(I guess) has surrounded it.

Personally I like the design of the original Saturn over the Pluto re-disign. They were really ahead of the game with the modem though. Too bad the Saturn faired so poorly over here, or we may have seen some real innovation.
