Yup, those Saturns are Japanese. Really cool looking, also not too expensive to get on Ebay. If you've wanted a Japanese Saturn, might be worth it to go with the white.

Yeah, I think it looks much better then the black one.
Totally digg the way these things look! Gotta be careful though because they discolor real easily. Leave it in front of a window or direct sunilght for a few days and BAM! it becomes a nasty yellow color. Something to do with the type of plastic used I think, alot of PC-Engines have the exact same issue.
I think the stock japanese model 1 saturn look pretty sweet too. Grey, black, and blue with the disc access light...niiiiice
Yeah, the discoloration of white consoles is always an issue. One of my relatives went to pull out his old SNES the other day- Almost entirely this nasty yellow except, curiously, the strip of plastic around the game cartridge slot, must have used a different plastic for that part. Not pretty unless you dig "Nasty Yellow."

Yeah, I haven't noticed any discoloration with mine either, although I had to buy a 2nd one last year, got REALLY lucky and found an EB that had one or two left for $20!

Oh yeah dude, they are nice. I think they've got a little more character than our straight black consoles (which still look pretty slick). Plus, the japanese Saturn logo & startup sequence is sweet
