Manufacturer description
Up for sale is this awesome Sega Saturn. It and the controller have been fully tested and work, as well as cleaned throughly with isopropyl alcohol. Also included, are AV and power cables and the original box. See photos for exact physical condition of all these items. The only small problem I have had with this particular console, was the AV connection was a little finicky sometimes. You might just have to wiggle it a little bit for the picture to show up as you're hooking it up and it will stay put after that. Packed with care and shipped out within 1 business day. Any questions please…
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Sega Saturn Console in Original Box w/Controller & Hookups using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Sega's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
