10.0. "Now is the time to buy a Sega Saturn" by VLNVAX::STAPLETON () Thu Mar 20 1997 10:53

There is no better time to buy a Sega Saturn.

    1.	You get three free games when you buy it.  I think that this
	offer runs through May 31, 1997.  Check store for details.
    2.	If you then buy two games (from a list of 12), you get one
	free (from a list of four).  February 15, 1997 to April 15,
	1997
    3.	If you buy (or bought) the Saturn between February 15, 1997
	and April 15, 1997 and you know someone who has had their
	registered Saturn, they have a rebate coupon worth $35.

What you need to do, according to the coupon is:

    1.	Purchase one Sega Saturn game system between February 15, 1997
	and April 15, 1997.  NO SUBSTITUTIONS PERMITTED.
    2.  Submit the ORIGINAL dated store register receipt with your
	Sega Saturn game system purchase clearly indicated.  NO
	PHOTOCOPIES OR SUBSTITUTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
    3.	Cut out and submit the ORIGINAL UPC code from your Sega Saturn
	package (located on the back of the package).  NO PHOTOCOPIES
	OR SUBSTITUTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
    4.	Have your friend fill in their name and address in the space
	provided at the left.  Please PRINT CLEARLY.
    5.	Mail this coupon along with ALL of the items listed above to:
	Saturn Friends Offer, P.O. Box 5119, Clinton IA  52736-5119

	ALL REQUESTS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MAY 1, 1997.

According to the coupon, you get the check in 8-10 weeks and limit one
per household or address.

Now, you've probably guessed that I have one of those coupons.  I am
willing to part with it to anyone with one proviso.  You must show me
that it will be used (i.e. you've bought the system).  It would bug me
if I gave it to someone who planned on getting the system, only to put
it off, blah, blah, blah and never get the system.

What are Saturns going for these days (without the coupon rebate?)  I have one
of those coupons that someone gave me, and I'm thinking about getting a
Saturn now, but I want to make sure it's worth it considering I already have
a Playstation.

I heard they are selling for $189 now.  Is this true?   Is it possible to find
them even cheaper?

If now is the time to get one, then maybe I should get one before the
coupon expires.  I just want to make sure there are enough games for it that
aren't also available on the Playstation.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

I suppose that some stores are selling Saturns for $189.  I thought it
was $199.  As to owning both a Playstation and a Saturn, sure I think
it is worth it.  I have both.  I've had the Saturn since it came out
and got the Playstation about four months after it came out.

As for games that are unique to Saturn (i.e. not on Playstation), there
are many.

Here are some:

	Virtua Fighter 1	Virtua Cop 1
	Virtua Fighter 2	Virtua Cop 2
	Virtual On		Guardian Heros		
	Sega Rally		Gun Griffon
	Baku Baku		BUG
	Iron Storm		Bug Too
	Dragon Force		NiGHTS
	Daytona			Clockwork Knight
	Daytona CCE		Clockwork Knight 2
	Panzer Dragoon		Sonic 3D Blast
	Panzer Dragoon 2

There are lots more.  I have some of the above.  I have more games
for my Saturn than my Playstation.  Some other people are the other
way around.
