The Sonic the Hedgehog 10th anniversary Dreamcast is a beautiful blue Dreamcast to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog. The console is from Europe, also the logo on the controller is blue, representing the European Dreamcast logo.

Sega Anthology has 2 different variations of the console, one is signed by Yuji Naka (head of Sonic team, lead programmer of the original Sonic the Hedgehog) and one that is not signed. 40 consoles were sent out to SoE (Sega of Europe) employees to thank them and 10 were shipped to France to give away for magazine lotteries.
