Which system should I keep?
I have a large collection of shmups for the Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox 360, and PS2. I love what each systym has to offer, but I can only keep one. Which system would you keep?

Not the 360. It will die on you the moment you get rid of the other systemss. They're cruel like that.
Mostly harmless

I would keep the Saturn if I could only keep one. The other systems are common. If you sell your Saturn now, you may have a hard time finding one in the future.

PS2 for sheer variety of the PS1/PS2 libraries.

Could there be a mail in online repair service to fix the 360's problems if they happen to arise?

PS2. There are more games for it than probably the other three combined. And it will still play PS1 games.

If you're only interested in playing the games and not collectability, save the PS2. Possibly the 360. The only problem with the 360 is it could die anytime.
If I was you and I could only choose one system, I would run out and buy an OXBox because you can use it as an emulating machine and it has a variety of games.

dude, that's a shame. It's a toss up for me between the 360 and the saturn. The 360 actually has lots more life in it and is amassing a fantastic library of games, but the saturn is just so dang difficult to shop for. If you can only keep one, I guess I'd go with the saturn because, if you have a good saturn library, it is worth the most. Imagine if you wanted to get it back. Think how hellish it will be to get a good saturn collection together in the future.
Systems: Atari 7800, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Game Boy Pocket (2), Game Boy Color, GBA SP (2), DS

I said 360, because it has quite a large Cave collection and more titles are enroute.
