[crazymadone]

Yeah I really like that R7 one, do you know how much they normally go for?

i think they go for around ?100-?140, though im not too sure. its generally the chepest LE, except from the Sega Sports 1.

Play asia have just restocked some of their dreamcast hardware, they are currently selling:

Hello Kitty Pink DC - $199 - BARGIN!!!

Sakura Wars DC - $299

R7 DC - $249
they also have the biohazard red dc for ?230 ish

The R7 one is selling unboxed for around ?40 in Akiba at the mo,around ?60 boxed! Hello Kitty one; ?20 more on each of those prices.

Limited edition ones seem to be taking a drop in price at the moment, anyone think it is a sign of things to come or worth investing in?

personally I prefer Sakura Taisen one...
in any case it won't hurt to pick up provided you can pick one up for real cheap...

[tokyochojin]

My favourite are the Biohazard editions, however i haven't seen them go for less than 20,000Y as yet.
Still waiting though...

Im definately looking to pick up a Biohazard one while I am in Japan. Their by far the nicest...and they go well with my Res Evil obsesion.

Anyone thought about collecting the various ltd. VMUs? Seems there's absolutely loads of them: http://www.segagagadomain.com/vmu-page.htm
Although that page doesn't seem to have this one.


It would make a very nice collection, but perhaps harder to get the full collection boxed than an actual DC collection. Well, there's one you're never, ever gonna get...

I've been collecting segadirect vmu box sets for a while now...
yes it's not easy to collect at decent price - around 1000-1500 yen.

I'd just like a couple of different VMU's. All I got at the min is the bog standard white one

I want the blue hello kitty one

Saw a Biohazard one in Akihabara Last year , was gonna buy it but the G/F had an evil look in her eye lol.

Anyway i have a blue Hello Kitty one myself brought from someone on this very forum.

I got a D-Direct black and silver one from eBay. But you probably didn't want to know that... the price wasn't all that bad, about $480 US inc shipping I think, but on the exchange rate right now it really wasn't that bad.

don't think they sold Hello Kitty VMU - either pink or blue - as standalone... I did managed to pick up brand new pink - no it's not the more common red - to go with my fashion pink controller...

When I bought the Dreamcast Ultimate Pack from Carphone warehouse for ?20 it came with a transparent Blue VMU which is still unopened.
On the link above it says this was US model VMU. Were Sega clearing stock like mad towards the end?

[Lyris]

Yep. They sold the US hardware complete with bull**** "Will only function on NTSC consoles" disclaimer in stores near the end.
