About this item
The Sega Saturn (1995 in Europe) is Sega's 32-bit console — a dual-CPU machine built for 2D sprite work just as the industry pivoted to 3D, which is both why it lost to the PlayStation and why its library is so distinctive today.
European sales were poor, and that shapes the market: PAL consoles are far scarcer than Japanese ones, and the EU library is small enough that individual titles command real money. Both the oval-button Model 1 and the later Model 2 circulate; region-modified and BIOS-free units sell at a premium for their ability to run imports.
When buying, ask whether the laser has been tested with a pressed disc — drive failure is the standard fault and the most expensive to fix. Confirm the power supply and AV cable are included, and check for a modchip or ODE if the listing is unusually cheap. Japanese imports typically sell around 30% below PAL copies — the Saturn was a hit in Japan and a commercial failure in Europe, so PAL print runs were small and the scarcity is regional rather than absolute. Listings frequently do not state a region, so check the photo for the spine and box art before comparing prices.
