Buying rare versions of common consoles...

The sonic one signed by Yuji Naka, I mean..

To be different and the wow factor. Also they lose their value a lot less than standard releases...

...getting hold of the silver DC...

Hi Allan: Ok- Explain!

When did this come out- It must have been very recently? I thought this was pretty much all the DC iterations:

And treble: top work on the neo piece- loved it

Yeah- I was shocked as well, as I`d never heard of one before, but the other day I found what looked like a normal DC (as it was boxed in the normal DC box) but with a silver sticker on the front saying `ltd. edition` or something or other. It was also pretty expensive so out of curiousity I asked the shop assistant whether I could have a look inside, and to my suprise there was a beautiful silver DC in there which was all silver except for the base (which is black).

Since then, I`ve spotted one more of these, and I think I`ll be picking up for myself next time I see one. As for the price, the one I saw was 18,000yen before tax (roughly 95pounds).

Put me second in line for that then- Cash waiting as always

There was a silver PAL DC released aswell.

Only a few made, to celebrate DC's 1st birthday, was given away in ODM.

I actually bid ?817 on that signed Sonic DC - not because I wanted it but because I wanted to see the price shoot up and see what it will go for - certainly an interesting one.

I was very tempted by a Silver PS2 - I have a modded PS2 but a silver one would look so cool - finances held me back though. Also looking at the R7 DC - tempting as well but yet again a pointless purchase.

The only console I have gone out of my way to get are Saturns
I have 2 white ones, a V-Saturn and a Hi-Saturn oh and a crappy black PAL one - the Hi-Saturn is ugly as sin I really don't know why I wanted it, will spend most of its life in its box I imagine but still a nice thing to have - the V-saturn on the other hand is lovely.
