I had a first gen Saturn, purchased on launch day, by my dad, as a high school graduation present. God I loved that machine; my identity in college was the resident video game guy, largely because of the Saturn (I would eventually get a N64 and PSX). Got it region modded and everything. Even purchased Radiant Silvergun from a Chinatown game store for only $50 at the time.
Well, later on, in my first apartment after college, someone broke into my apartment and stole that Saturn. And a few random things, with all signs pointing towards it being by some crack head. More than likely he sold it at a pawn shop. I often wonder how much it went for… I bet only $15.
