			i only recently discovered the existance of this thing and i cant seem to find a photo anywhere... although perhaps i should try ebay... anyhow does anyone own one and could they post up a pic please

			This should do the trick: assembler... Plenty of other interesting and obscure gamestuff on that site as well.

			Wow that saturn is huge! How the hell does making it 10X bigger make it portable?

		TakaIsSilly		Jun 14, 2003
			You just stick it inside a car. Lo and behold, it's portable :^)

			Actually.. that's a Hi Saturn w/a GPS modification.. they're VERY rare. But Hitachi made just a regular 'ol everyday Hi Saturn. It looks very much like any other 1st model Saturn (different colors though). It's only difference was that they had VCD play capabilities built-in. They're not THAT uncommon. I see them on eBay occasionally. Heck.. I had an opportunity to buy one on eBay a couple months back from Japan (Postage was.. as usual.. outrageous); and it was modded with a chip. I was low on "fundage"; but it ended up going for only $125 with 9 import games included! I'm still kicking myself.

Yup.. it was (sob). Actually.. it seems the price of Saturns cycle on eBay. Right now.. they're actually in a kinda' slump. Heck.. I'm seeing skeletons listed on eBay right now.. direct from Japan.. for around a hundred bucks. That's terribly cheap. Mark my word.. in another two months.. they'll be going for $200 again. Of course.. as I said before.. it's that $75 add-on for express mail from Japan that always gets you.. really.. can't be THAT much.. it's almost as if the JAP sellers had an agreement going on. Me.. I've got two white Saturns.. I really don't see what's SO special about them; and it's not like they're ALL that rare.

Whoahhh! Pocketstations for $17 ?!!! Has anybody ordered from these guys?

		AntiPasta		Jun 15, 2003
			not yet, but I sure will... the only source of Pocketstations around here sells em for 70$

		Edge-`		Jun 15, 2003
			I've ordered their Genesis Flash Carts, excellent transaction.

		WiseMan		Jun 16, 2003
			Yuk the V-Saturn looks disgusting and so does the HiSaturn (the GPS/in car version looks alright i spose) If i owned one i'd definatley change the shell with a Sega Saturn. The Skeleton Saturn looks awesome. Be cool if you could buy the custom shells from somewhere cuz you know you'll never ever be able to buy a real one. :smash ( i love that hammer icon )

			About the $17 Pocketstations.. it's either a scam or your classic "bait & draw". I ordered one two weeks ago.. paid $16 for 5 day.. trackable.. EMS shipping and heard nothing from Tototek since then. In the meantime.. they've updated their site 4 times.. always advertising the Pocketstations as "available". I sent them 4 lettters requesting acknowledgement of payment and/or shipment; availability; a tracking #.. anything. They finally refunded my payment through PayPal today after I threatened them with an investigation and said the item is currently "unavailable". I certainly won't EVER deal with these half-wits again.

			awww, that sucks. But thanks for testing the water for me However, I find it rather odd that a friend of mine ordered from them numerous times and didn't ever complain about it :smash
