That list was for 2007 -- a lot has changed since then.

Of course, it's for US games, not PAL.

Not sure if you're looking at complete or disc only, but complete Sonic Jam here goes for about $50.

Eh?

My Saturn is chipped and I have an AR+ and STKey for imports. I would advocate getting a cart instead of hacking a hole and having to fiddle with switches if that's that what you're getting at.

$60, $62 and $70... That game was misjudged.

Sega Saturn consoles are very expensive in Europe, I gave up a while ago and just hope to run into a cheap one some day at a flea market. It could easily happen.

Keep an eye out for them on ebay. I got my Sega Saturn for about 40 dollars shipped, the guy hooked me up so nice by shipping the console and cords in different packages so I only paid like 20 dollars in shipping. This was to Iceland from England btw, getting raped every time I go to the post office.

I know the feeling man. I bought my system with two memory cards and a game for 30 dollars. The thing I learned about the saturn is that its a good buy but you need to take your time with the system. I try to only buy 30.00 a month for the system. I got my arcade classics like virtua fighter 2 and daytona usa. Now next month I'm getting a action replay 5in1 card. YOU NEED TO GET THIS. Its going to be ALOT cheaper to buy the imports than the us titles. It just takes alot of time to start collecting for the system. I would also just get the games that are disc only if you just want to play the games and not be so much as a collector.

For CD systems, i always go for the ones with cases, i don't like loose discs. I am planning to invest in an Action replay, although mainly for imports i've been wanting: Astal(I'm in the UK, we didn;t get it), thunderforce V, megaman 8, shining force 3, sexy parodius, silhouette mirage. Unfortunately, I'm well aware that this isnt the cheapest list of import games either XD

I find that Japanese versions of Saturn games are actually cheaper than the US versions.
