Its the dev kit and tools. Its not like its a fucking regular saturn.

Not really that surprising, considering the cost of computers at the time (hint: really fucking expensive) and the low production runs for a dev kit.

Meanwhile, these are still being auctioned by ASSEMbler types.

What's surprising to me is they didn't even get a discount on production consoles and accessories. $35 for a pad? I don't even remember paying that much at Toys R Us.

You do realize that's not a professional dev system right.

For real, look at some of those HD sizes. 1 gig? That must've been at least $1,000 by itself in 1995.

That was a full kit with a Sophia dev Saturn and a hitachi ICE. Very specialized hardware. Cartdev + vcd board was apparently simpler and better, though still a bitch to debug with.

Sony dev kits were much more professional, you could do shit like measuring the percentage of hardware you were using. Saturn setups only did basic debugging.

I almost got one of those extremely cheap (it was listed as broken, but I can repair them easily). But the seller tried to second chance scam me.
