Hi there, I was hoping someone could help me I.d my dreamcast, I cant seem to find anything online about it

I had a regular dreamcast as a kid but I bought this one a few years back for the nostalgia

Looking to sell it but not even sure what a fair price would be as I bought it many years ago for hardly anything and I'm not actually sure about what it even is

Many special editions of the Dreamcast were released over the years, in a variety of different colours. However, every special edition Dreamcast that I've seen has had some other visual change besides just the colour.

Looking at the pictures, I suspect that your console has just been put into a replacement aftermarket shell. However, if the bottom half of the console is solid grey, and there's a pale yellow limited edition number sticker on the back, then you have a quite rare Code: Veronica (Claire version) console. I'm guessing that if the sticker was there, though, you wouldn't be here asking about it, as it's a real giveaway.

That being said, it still looks cool, but I don't think it's going to command an especially high price or anything. The controllers were always available in a wide range of colours, although it's funny that the beige controller on the right has the blue European swirl. I guess someone got a deal.

Biohazard DC has darker gray buttons, and a much different colored logo.

EDIT:

You're quite right! I didn't notice that.

I go to Japan every year with one of these on my hunting list. I've found a lot of rare gems, but still no Biohazard DC. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Since OP is looking to sell it... This may be your lucky day/week/period!

OP doesn't have a Biohazard model, just an aftermarket 3rd party red shell.

Ah, it seems I've misunderstood. Bummer!
