I remember I was SO HYPE to get one. Then stores never had them in stock and the PlayStation had such a lower price (and the first two Twisted Metal games) that I wound up getting that. By the time I actually had a job of my own and could afford another console, Saturn was dead and I got a 64.

IMO the whole "SaturnDay" switch is what started the death of the Saturn. That thing backfired on Sega in every imaginable way. They should've had enough consoles ready so that after the surprise early launch there would have been more in stores later that month (instead of never.)
