But I can see what you mean, the US boxes make the system look much more revolutionary and fun. <br />I still love the Yukawa box.

Do they show the system itself or just another giant controller?

But you bought yours from a reputable online store, which is always worth a few bucks more IMO.<br /><br />Also, there really is nothing like a new Dreamcast controller. I bought a new PAL controller last week and it is AMAZING. The buttons click so effectively. Compare that to my heavily used (since 1999) controller which the buttons "mush" down when pressed and the triggers make sticky noises when being depressed.Barry the Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793590481970367478noreply@blogger.com
