Regarding Audio CDs, you guys are so right. For a decade now, I'm trying to gather 2nd hand CDs of music I like, and even some new releases get cheap within months.
If an album gets re-released in re-mastered form, I usually try to get the original vintage release instead. Blame it on the fear of loudness war.
Also, I sometimes treat me to some used vinyl records, but that's only for fun. They need to be so dirt cheap that I don't care if one of the purchases begins to skip on my record player setup.
Edit: Regarding the Saturn, mhm... On the one hand, this is a console I'd like to get my hands on, because the hardware appearance looks pretty nice, and there are some exclusive titles I'd like to play. On the other hand, I already own some multiplatform titles like Konami's shooters for the PS1, so there's no real need for me to get into Saturn gaming.
I got Radiant Silvergun for Xbox 360. Honestly, I suck hard at this game and lost interest soon, so it is good that I paid just a few bucks for it.
I can see what ya mean in that case. I would definitely emulate it first just to see if it is up your alley.
Here are some saturn exclusive stuff that you could at least try out and see if you like it. Legend of the Oasis/The story of Thor 2, Astal, Tryrush Deppy, Super Tempo, ninpen manmaru, linkle liver story, nanatsu kaze no shima monogatari, Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru, crows, groove on fight, soukou seitokai. These are a few games that never got ported or put to anything else. I could have mentioned some others, but they have been on other platforms such as the fighters, and some of the taito games like liquid kids/mizubaku daibouken.
