Limited edition red 'Resident Evil Code: Veronica' Dreamcast pops up on eBay

Console collectors know good and well that Sega dished out a few less-than-easily-attainable versions of the Dreamcast back in the day, but only the hardest of hardcore fanatics are apt to have one this bad boy. Just 1,800 of these limited edition bundles were made, which feature an atypical Code: Veronica box, a translucent red version of the Japanese console, a matching controller, a copy of Biohazard Code: Veronica (Japan's version of Resident Evil Code: Veronica), all the traditional connection cables and a huge dose of bragging rights. Number 280 out of the 1,800 units can be yours right now for the low, low asking price of $800, and believe us, we don't foresee this one hanging around sans an owner for too much longer.

$800? I don't miss my childhood THAT much.

Worked at Sega during the Dreamcast era, you oughta see my library of games.

If the US Prez hadnt pissed off retailers so bad, it might of had a chance.

i just reconnect my DC last month... only because my N64 no longer displays anything on the TV, just sound. the wired thing is the only games that work on my DC are Sonic and Crazy Taxi 1 & 2. out of 15 games. the rest of the games are in better condition that the Taxi games.

This is news? Is the DC that old? I guess it is. Great days.... Samba De Amigo (how did they manage to screw the Wii version up?) Crazy Taxi, 4 player Chu Chu Rocket, Skies of Arcadia....

I sold my pink Hello Kitty DC earlier this year, didn't make that much money but it went to a good home. The S.T.A.R.S. Resident Evil DC is rarer than this one.
For those interested...

I want this.

Well, to everyone who says it is pricey, it does have the Broadband adapter according to the pictures. That goes for 140-200 dollars alone.

My brother still has our old Dreamcast. I was playing some nfl2k (Go Niners) on it the other day. What an amazing game and system.

mrChin: The Cayman Islands have more registered businesses than they have people, With the biggest sectors being "banking, hedge fund formation and investment, structured finance and securitization, captive insurance, and general corporate activities.

I should hope that they're not in any financial crisis.
