Details from sources

Official colour name 'mist grey' (Sega), commonly called white Saturn. Cost-reduced redesign announced at the 'Sega Saturn Power-Up Meeting '96 Spring' on 1996-03-09 (Famitsu No.380 via ja.wikipedia); warranty extended from 6 to 12 months. Early HST-3220 boards are almost the same as HST-3210; later cost-downs merged chips (two SH-2 into one package per Sega column 5) and the latest units lost compatibility with some software (ja.wikipedia). Round buttons; pad buttons changed from blue to grey/pink during production (pt.wikipedia, unsourced). From late 1997 the Segata Sanshiro campaign gave the 'Otanoshimi 3shiro! Disc' demo CD with console purchases (Sega official).
