Dreamcast Tsytaya Rental Unit

In 2000, Sega experimented with renting out Dreamcasts. It is something that is done in the US, but it is not done in Japan due to the unwillingness of companies to provide licenses for rentals. Even today you cannot rent games or game systems in Japan and bring them to your home.

Sega's Dreamcast sales were declining, so in a last ditch efford to raise popularity with the Dreamcast console they made an arangement with Tsutaya Department stores to rent out Dreamcast units. The idea was short lived and only a few number of these rental units exist today.

It was enclosed in a hard case and includes a Dreamcast, two controllers, all cables, instructions, installation instructions, two game and a phone cord.
