Just spotted this on eBay. I never thought I'd say this about a badly sun-yellowed Dreamcast but it actually looks pretty sweet. I almost thought it might be a limited edition Dreamcast before I examined it closer. I've seen some yellowed Dreamcasts in my time but this one takes it to a whole new level.

It hurts to look at, but I can't take my eyes off it

You got the bad side the left side looks like fucking authentic genuine yellow paint!

Lister calls this, yellow-ish!? tis ze most baffler understatement yet!!! xP

like I said on twitter. can't make up my mind if it's sun or smoke damage but now looking at it again on a monitor there's a very subtle fade on it.

I think it is funny that the modem did not yellow out like the rest of the Dreamcast.

The seller described it as a "sunburn"!

The "Open" button on the right also looks fine, while the "Power" button on the left is all yellow. Weird.

It's probably due to the position the sun shone on the Dreamcast, the left side probably saw more sunlight than the right, explaining the open button and modem not being as yellow compared to the rest

That would make a good retrobrite video haha

I never had a console yellowing, but it seems it is pretty common, any conditions under were it gets yellow?
