Oddly enough, I may have one new-in-the-box at my old residence, though I'll have to dig through my closet to find it. When Wal-Mart was blowing Saturns out at dirt cheap, I picked one up for the sake of having it, and also in case anything ever happened to my semi-modded one. (I melted one connector point while trying to install a switch; now it's a Japanese Saturn that needs a converter cart in order to play American games. No sweat off my back, as I wanted it Japanese to begin with so that I could use a Memory Cart with Fire Pro Wrestling S.)

I believe I paid $40 for it on clearance. A fair price today? I would say that it's Whatever The Lady At The Garage Sale Says, as that's about the best source for them these days. Half.com has a wide variety of prices, eBay is all over the place, and the usual suspects (EB and GameStop) aren't stocking them on their websites. As for what I'd ask for it, I have no idea, though there's always the barter system...

(BTW, are you still in the market for a PSX Dead or Alive original? I saw one the other day, though I don't know if it's still there or not.)

(looking up something...) I'm surprised -- National Console Support (my usual stop for imports) ran out of Fire Pro S's. They sold enough of those back in the day to pave the streets of Tokyo. As a result, I'm really not sure where to tell you to look for most of the games I'd recommend, particularly the imports. I'm sure that games like Panzer Dragoon Saga command a fortune these days -- they were rare even when they were new.

Game suggestions on request.
