I don't think coloured shells for Dreamcast are expensive or too hard to come by.Quote:

Speaking of which, there is probably an obvious answer for this but... why aren't there coloured shells for the newer consoles?

I think some importer/etailer offered colored ps2 cases a while back (buyrite maybe?), but they were fairly expensive iirc. I haven't seen any for Xbox or GC, largely because the shells for these consoles are fairly complex... Personally, I've never been a fan of non-official aftermarket cases. They often lack the logos and details of the real deal. Colorconsoles is a better alternative, but they're fairly pricey and often unable to take orders due to high demand and a tiny workforce.
there have never been colored shells for nintendo systems (except for the ones they make) because nintendo always patents their systems casings. for some reason no other company does and thats why you see 3rd party colored cases.
if they were the same price as a regular PS2 id might consider trading in my current ps2 and getting a white or silver one but for that price forget it
one day i think ill probably have one of my SNES's painted Silver and one of my NES's painted bronze
that way they fit with my gold N64 and Platinum GC
That makes sense...Quote:

But then couldn't a third party make a new shell design? For example, a company could come alone and make an original shell that didn't make Xbox look so damn ugly. :p
Erm...Sega had official shells for the DC.Quote:

Only Sony would have the nerve to not only sell a woefully underpowered system for the same price or more than the competition but jack up the price a hundred bucks just for a color change.
Hey, if people are stupid enough to buy a different color at that price...Quote:

MechDeus: true, but even Nintendo, the kings of boosting hardware sales through changing the color of the system, don't stoop to price increases like that. It seems like Sony is mercilessly raping stupid people's wallets. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just think it's ugly.
