I've mentioned a few times that I am a collector of the elusive LE DC systems. I was at a crazy game store tonight and found one that I didn't already have: the Tsutaya Rental Dreamcast. Well, I didn't find one, I found three - but this is not a finds thread, it's an LE DC thread.
The reason I want to discuss this system in particular is I had always thought there was only one hard-shelled DC system case, but it turns out there are at least two. I've seen this one on Yahoo Auctions a few times a year:
But it's different from how i've seen this system described in English. It's only supposed to have one controller, no phone cord, and it comes with What's Shenmue and a demo for Guru Guru Onsen. It's labeled as "Dreamcast Trial Set". This must be different than the Tsutaya set. Here's two more pics of the insides:
Now one of the others I picked up is different from this one. It's got a different front sticker (Black, and reads "Dreamcast Experience Kit") and totally different insides as well. I don't recall seeing this one on Yahoo Auctions before, and a Japanese search on the front label turns up nothing.
Now the insides seem to match how i've heard the Tsutaya kit described more, but I was unaware of all the labeled controllers and system. The software is different as well, it comes with Dream Passport 2.
Any ideas, thoughts? Anybody else care about LE DC hardware?
