They are not actually customised. They are limited edition versions of the console that were only released in Japan.

Agreed. Not half as cool-looking or innovative as the NES.

Nah, they're custom paint jobs. Not great though, I've seen far better attempts.

Yep, they're custom paint jobs and pretty amateurish ones too.

Those Youtube vids state they're custom paint jobs, for heaven's sake!!

For those interested, here's a list of the various special DCs:

I've already seen some websites incorrectly describing certain custom paint jobs as 'Limited edition released by Sega Europe'. :o

I think they all look crap.

One or two colours is fine, but these are all just way too busy.

Heres some other cool ones:

The see-through pink Hello Kitty Dreamcast was one of two models produced, the other was light blue

(http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_287475_thumb_wide620.jpg)
The Dreamcast here was made for Sonic's 10th anniversary and only given to internal employees.

(http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_287467_thumb_wide620.jpg)
Another of the Sega of Germany commissioned custom Dreamcasts. This time themed on the brilliant Jet Set Radio.

(http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_287464_thumb_wide620.jpg)
Sega released a special Seaman Edition (don't laugh) of the Dreamcast. However, this is the even rarer Chritmas version of that console. It's a Special Limited Edition Dreamcast.

(http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_287465_thumb_wide620.jpg)
There were two Resident Evil: Code Veronica Dreamcast models released. Both had the same STARS package and skeleton casing. The red one was inspired by Claire Redfield, one of the game's protagonists.

(http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_287455_thumb_wide620.jpg)
This is the other Seaman Dreamcast produced in response to the game's popularity. It was only sold at HMV stores in Japan.

(http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_287453_thumb_wide620.jpg)
The Regulation #7 on this Dreamcast refers to the the Japanese penal code, in particular a code pertaining to businesses affecting public morals. The console was a special refurbished Dreamcast unit that was used as a network console in Japanese pachinko parlors.



And a rather cool, sponsored GameGear:

This red Coca-Cola Game Gear was released alongside Coca-Cola Kid, a Japan-exclusive platformer.
