Unfortunately, it got stolen when somebody burglarized our house.
Later on, after I'd moved into my own home after the Saturn lost the Console Wars, I figured I'd "rob the graveyard" and get the old games on the cheap. And I bought an old Saturn from a Blockbuster that was getting rid of its stock.
And finally, Christmas, 1999, I finally noticed the Playstation's price had come down to $100 U.S., and I had some spare cash.
I figured with Y2K, the computers would've fired off the nuclear warheads, so I might as well splurge and enjoy the system while we were still around. Marvelous little thing, too.
