And then storing it for 15 years? It's not THAT expensive now. :)

It's pretty bad. N64 carts cost as much as a brand new xb1/ps4 game in many cases. Snes is almost as bad. The only things that are cheap to collect for are genesis and 2600.

Don't even look at the 3DO, the Virtual Boy, the TG16, etc. From this point of view it does make sense that someone that found a Saturn at a yard sale might drop the coin to SD card mod the thing and grab the entire library. It's cheaper than buying games. Yeah, you could buy a $15 modchip and drop that in, right up until the CD drive dies because the gears are cheap plastic from 20 years ago.

Meanwhile my Saturn that gets regular playtime and is the one I bought from FunCoLand many many many years ago, is still going strong and I was doing the swap trick with it to play my import games for a long time. I did eventually buy a Japanese Saturn so I didnt have to, but both systems are going strong.

Of course some still work. I have had as many come to me with dead lasers, dead gears, broken lid switch, etc as those that still work. The fact that yours still work doesn't negate all the nonworking Saturns. These days it seems about 50/50 for the Saturns I come across and nearly all of them at least need laser adjustment.
