    LOL I am sometimes also used to shitty forums, where they censor different words, because it is not "nice" pretty stupid. Since it handicaps ones language. But yes words aren´t always nice. But anyway, be happy with your saturn. But if you ever use racist words, you will be banned. If you don´t use it in a context where it has no intent of hurting people. Such as stories from the south that explains different ages and so forth. But you will see, there are the normal rules, and the unwritten rules which should be clear to all. And that includes me too, by the way. So have fun with your Saturn :)

    Thanks. I am although I have to resort to disc swapping for now until this saturday when I go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where there is a gigantic "The Exchange" retro game store. I saw on one of InecomCompany's videos from Youtube that there are a lot of Saturn games there. Anyway it turns out the assholes at Play-N-Trade (where I purchased the Saturn) are bundling the good games with another Saturn.

    I bought my Saturn from a friend for 60$ in 2003. It was boxed and has all the stuff with it. I didn't really get games for it for awhile though. Just got a PAR. The fucking games can get expensive though. I just wanna play Magic Knight Rayearth guys. :crying:

    I have Lunar 2 for Saturn and it's unplayable unless you understand Japanese (and mine is definitely not well enough for any type of RPG). Go for Iron Storm, Albert Odyssey and Dragon Force... I always wanted these since I once played them at a friend, but did not buy them yet due to the lack of a US / modded Saturn.

    Well, Magic Knight Rayearth is only ~35$. Less than almost any nexgen game and very reasonably spent money either :)

    Once I get a 3d controller that is the first game I plan to get.

    As great as PDS is, Nights is the game which you really need to play with the 3D controller. Totally different game, compared to the usual pad.

    Um...where? I haven't seen it for less then 55$. I don't even pay more then 20$ for next gen games, so 55$ sucks for it no matter how good it is, but I would definitly pay 35 or 40$.

    Yeah you're right, it's a bit pricier. Just checked out ebay and the average price seems to be somewhat between 45 and 60$, but still I think this would be ok if you really love to play the game afterwards. I also payed 90$ a few years back (when it still ran for that much) for my Battle Garegga and I don't regret a single cent, rarely had so much fun with a video game. :)

    I might just drop down the bucks if I have a lot of money leftover this month. Seems like it might be worth it.

    I think you could have gotten a better deal if you had the internet market open to you, but at the same time I don't think you made a bad deal either. It will all come down to how you use your Saturn. If you play it alot and get alot of enjoyment out of it, then the price you paid is just fine. But if you just let it sit then you are wasting it.

    When I bought my Saturn one of the main attractions was the high quality ports of games like Metal Slug and Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter that used the 1MB and 4MB RAM cartridges. But there are many other sweet games to check out.

    I just picked up X-men Children of The Atom for $10. It's an awesome port.

    At the local used game store where I live, they sell usa sega saturn systems for $26 with 1 controller + av and power cords. So from my view $75 is a horrible price.

    It may have been on the pricey side, but if hes happy with his purchase than it was money well spent. Thats all that matters really.
