Thrift stores are a constant source of amazement to me. How can so many horrible things all end up in one place? Yet, if you do some digging you can find some really cool stuff. Some if it is cool and you buy it and some of it is so hideous it's cool. You laugh at it and then put it back on the shelf. This Dreamcast is one of those finds. Had I not already owned one I probably would have picked it up seeing as it had four controllers , two light guns and memory cards. Instead I just snapped a picture so I could share the horror with all of you. Behold the ugliest Dreamcast ever decorated. I challenge you to find an uglier one! In fact, if you can find another one, send a picture in. Whoever submits the most hideous one will get a game from my personal collection. And no, you don't get to pick it.
PS: It can't be a picture you found on the internet...

Symmetry for the win? O_o
That's actually not that ugly. If you peel of the sticker in the center, it could look pretty good actually.
There is no god...
hahaha XD
Those glue stains really make it work.
@Alpha_Omega: Sure, why not?
I can't wait until the Ps3 is old enough for a similarly defaced console to appear in the wild, if people can mar a dreamcast like this, I can only imagine how they would aesthetically ruin a console as sleek and polished as the PS3 (I don't even have one yet, but they are purty).
@Alpha_Omega: <--- Previous owner... CONFIRMED!
what are you talking about? can't you see there are FLAMES coming from the buttons. that's right! fucking flames! in short:
flames=awesomeness
just keep that in mind...
Why would anyone do this to their console!? My Genesis has been painted silver, but that's because my friend did it and sold it to me for a dollar.
This is why I also don't understand why anyone would apply the stickers to their Guitar Hero controllers. It just ruins it.
i weep for this dreamcast.
the urge to deface mine and make it hideous to win a contest sorta thing is emmense but i love it to much to make it look worse then that
@Xander7447: No man! It gives it a soul man!.... man!
You do realize you're going to be personally responsible for the defacing of dozens of perfectly good dreamcasts, right?
Is that spray painted macaroni glued to it? This person was obviously a Nintendo fanboy to do something this bad to a Dreamcast.
@Xander7447: I'd have *loved* a chrome Genesis back in the day.
@Kirbytheslayer: hates Java: LOL, I was actually thinking about doing something to mine in the hopes that I might win something. But knowing my luck, I'd end up with nothing but an ugly Dreamcast because I didn't glue on the correct number of Stormtroopers or something...
"Whoever submits the most hideous one will get a game from my personal collection."
I'll be sure to jump on this so I can get your copy of Fighting Force for PSX. =P
the horror. who would dare defile the greatest console ever in such a way?
Here we have a perfect example of someone bricking right on top of Sega's console grave. Sad thing really, I love the Dreamcast.
Is the Dreamcast more powerful than the Wii? ive seen nothing on the Wii what matches upto Shen Mue
Looks like the white Power Ranger mated with a Dreamcast.
@Destrudo: Why did I lol?
@Eltigro:
That looks like chrome and gold door guards from a car. That is ghetto fabulous right there. Shit is dope!
OMG, did you buy my dreamcast?
wow.....
that is made of epic fail.
@Green-clad Gamer Dude:
Well I'm pretty sure it wasn't because it was also the first you thought of upon seeing it. If it was, then I've found the bizzaro version of myself. If you are then we must play COD4 now.
@Dits: I'll second that. Have you seen any sailors round here?
Anyway...
Poor poor Dreamcast. Someone end it's pain! It's all too much.
Clearly the prize is Catz 2.
It's even made uglier by that horrid darkstar sticker on it which is probably one of the worst skateboard companies ever
I just died a little inside.
Can you imagine that -- at one time -- somebody thought that looked cool? And that -- at present -- somebody at a pawn shop either thought it looked "cool enough" to sell or just figured that's what a "Dreamcast" looked like?
But who am I fooling? Like anything and everything Dreamcast -- seeing that just made me feel nostalgic and miss the Dreamcast. My first thought was, "To think, if things had worked out better people would be 'pimping out' their Dreamcast 2's with GTA4 memorabilia."
It looks like you can use that Dreamcast to call your megazord.
Was Lord Zed the previous owner?
I can only imagine what a car owned by the same person must look like ::shudders::
@Torgen thinks AAA has lost all meaning:
Nah, I'd say that at least deserves a copy of Bubsy 3D or Blasto.
That's fucking pimp.
Wow....That is just hideous. There are absolutely no redeeming qualities to any of that. Poor Dreamcast...
I agree, fellow ghetto youth. I was just informing my own "homies" that snowsaber frostcat megazord inspired defunct consoles would indeed be of the pimp category.
It's not ugly. It's just got character. Lots and lots of character.
@Destrudo: That's the first thing I thought when I saw this. I never thought he really fit in.
I have an ugly looking saturn, with a case held together by scotch tape and sheer will. What does that get me? Shit ass nothing.
You probably should've picked it up...those DC light guns are pretty valuable these days.
I would find an uglier one, but I don't really want a copy of Cruis'n.
@Tri5cui7:
Agreed. Now, the Green Ranger, that's some dino action I can get behind.
I was wondering where my mom put that. She took it away after she caught me smoking pot. Should have put it on ebay I hear confiscated video games get more money.
I have an old saturn.. I'll mod it with Hello Kitty and put it on Ebay.
I agree with Destrudo, the first thing that came to mind when I saw this Dreamcast was the Power Rangers, especially the old-school White Ranger.
@Alpha_Omega: What? That beast screams "ridiculous".
@Nintenboy01:
Goodness, speaks volumes about us doesn't it? At least it seems that way to me.
I wish my local thrift store had stuff like this. They've got a few Genesis, 2600, and NES games, and once they had a Genesis, but other than that it's slim pickings as far as video games are concerned. I guess that's what comes with living in a rural area where few people played games 15-20 years ago.
I weep for its looks.
I weep for the fact it sits in a thrift store.
I weep because I don't own it.
Reminds me of the horror that comes with used guitar controllers. So many stickers...
How can someone so deface the great console God? RIP, Dreamcast.
Now did you buy it or just take the picture in the thrift shop.
I hate going to thrift shops. I've found some good deals in them but they're not worth the depressing feeling I get after being in there.
As ugly as it is, I wish I would've saw it so I could've bought it. I feel the need to have that, a Saturn and a Sega CD, just for the few games I enjoyed on them.
The real question is, does the console have to be whole or not? And does it have to be a Dreamcast? Because I've seen some really ugly PS2s at my job. We repair them for , and one PS2 we repaired once looks like it had a giant shit taken all over it.
@hueg_boss:
Really? I find that they can make me feel better sometimes. I come away with a feeling of "It can always get worse, enjoy the moment."
My eyes they BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flynn, you mis-spelled Awesomest.
@MURDERFACE:
Once you've seen it, you can never un-see it!
@Witzbold: Yes there is hes right over there! *points*
@Destrudo: LOL yeah i know. nice Futurama quote.
