The thread title pretty much says it all....
I can get a Saturn with 41 games for about 150 bux, and most of the games aren't total crap, either. The thing is, i was already planning on getting a saturn for myself for my birthday next Wednesday (feeling nostalgic), but the only thing I really REALLY wanted to play on it was Nights, and possibly Guardian Heroes if i can find it. So, i dont really need all of that, but damn, that's a hot deal!

EDIT: For the record, i already have a PS2/Xbox/Gamecube.

EDIT 2: ...and a Dreamcast.

If like 100 of the games are games you want, then I'd go for it. Otherwise, stick to mainstream modern consoles.
All I know is the Genesis was way cooler than supernes.

If you had one before and you really liked it... it might be worth it. I found my old genesis a while ago and it's still keeping me occupied. But if you're really into new games, and new systems I doubt you'll be able to stand those old graphics for long...

yea, i realize that most of the old games (particularly the 32-bit ones) that are fondly remembered turn out to be crap when you go back and play em. However, the ones that had real fun to them tend to still be fun. As it stands, im not partial to either new or old games, just fun ones.

Buy the saturn, sell the games you dont want on egay. Buy nights and then a dreamcast. Then you should be set for like 9 months :D

what about that game for the saturn where you play paper/rock/sissors against her and she takes off an article of clothing each time you win and then does this lil dance.

Too bad RS is so overpriced now. I ended up breaking down and selling my copy on ebay for $160, which I used to buy my PS2. Now I miss it...
