Hey, thanks for the shout out. Huge point of clarification though, the Pluto that was sold for $84,000 was NOT the one owned by Roger (KidVid). It was the Japanese unit. He and Roger discussed the sale prior, that is to say, they were in contact with each other. Roger still has his Pluto as we intend to do more tests with it that the pandemic delayed.
I would not sell that thing for under 500K if it were mine. Not because I like it, just knowing how obsessive Sega collectors can be. Auctioning is not smart. The man should put it up for $1,000,000 OBO and test the waters that way.
@@warehousedave7937 That's idiotic. Nobody is going to pay that price for it and all it's going to do is sit. Not sure if you know how collectables work but they don't just jump in price from thousands to millions just because somebody holds on to them forever.

@@matt8264 Nah, the system would be great fun with the best games with the best stories, but wouldn't run for antisocial men who feel entitled to play it.
The Sega Neptune is an early example of the Mandela Effect for me...for many years I remembered the Sega Neptune being on store shelves. I remembered seeing it displayed in the glass case. It was a weird period for gaming at that time...the market was flooded with consoles. It was hard to know which one to support. That's one of the big reasons I stuck with Nintendo.
Yes, I remember going to Toy "R" Us as a child and being overwhelmed by all the different consoles available during the 90s. I had no idea what was what, and just ended up getting a NES as my first game console. It wasn't the latest console when I got it, but I had tons of fun on it as a little kid.
That's crazy it sold for that amount. The Saturn is one of my favorite consoles, I can kind of see why they didn't want to bother with putting this on the market because the Saturn was already expensive enough at the time when it was released without a built in modem
Considering the rarity of the system $84,000 doesn't seem too bad for a console that has only 2 known working examples in existence. With that kind of rarity the seller can pretty much dictate the price. Reading through some of the other comments it seems that Kid Vid has held on to it. If I was him I wouldn't be willing to part with it for anything under $100,000.
Agree with you that it would've been nice going to a museum. Given how many times he tried to sell it though, it was always going to a private collection :(
I remember that Ben Hack video :O I was so intrigued about the console. Love the Saturn. I'll never get over SEGA quitting the console industry... ( meaning I'm still hoping they'd return... just team up with CAPCOM, SNK and Bandai Namco, you know you want to )
Will NEVER forget my SEGA Saturn. I went to a pawn shop and found a model 1 Saturn and a model 2 controller for $60. My God was it such a premium console- I still have so much onstage for the late 90s gaming aesthetic and the saturn embodies it more than just about anything. Such a neat system
That was fascinating. Bummer very few exist. But at least those remaining, are in good homes. SEGA's console legacy, so many stories, and some buried treasures. Excellent video
Only found you recently, got say as someone who played pong in the arcade I'm loving both you & the nostalgic trips down memory lane. Keep up the great work
One learning tree that is very easy to sit under & enjoy all the little bits of trivia dug up in your research 🔬. Keep it up 👍. Definitely one of my new favorite channel to wait for new content from. PS Thank You Top Hat Gaming Man for recommending this channel a few weeks ago. Enjoying the content immensely. Even went back to watch some of the legacy content.
Here in Mexico, arround 1995 - 1999, we used to have a tv news show calles CYBERNET, it presented gaming news and technology. The voice of this lady, remainds me soo much of that anchor lady in that old news show.
Just found this channel. Great work. Vids are very imformative, concise and edited very well. I'm very picky about who I subscribe too but you deserve it. Keep up the great work.
just found your channel, this is a very well made video and Ive never heard of the pluto before also, as an american, I just wanna clarify that as far as I know 'swap meet' and 'flea market' are interchangeable at least from my experience, when I lived in Texas I mostly heard "flea market" but here in the SF Bay Area most people I know say 'swap meet'
Dreamcast for me is the best console SEGA ever made. I bought one brand new which I still have to this day and it was far ahead of the competition back then. Still have every peripheral for it, only weak bit of Dreamcast design was the VMU's battery life, coincell batteries were expensive in the 90's. It is an impressive design tech wise in a solidly compact unit, just need to retrobrite mine because of sun fade. House of the Dead with the lightgun was epic. 1st games machine I ever used on a PC monitor, pin sharp display. 1st device I ever used on the Internet. It should have put SEGA back at the top of the tree but sadly, that was not to be. CEX still sell them for £60 which is crazy cheap for such a low selling unit, PS2's are £dearer£ and they sold over 100,000,000 units.
Wow, I never even knew about the Neptune, but I heard a bit of the Pluto, which was the Saturn's successor. I found your channel, and there's no doubt that it is amazing!!
So let's see if I get this right. A channel THIS GOOD only appeared in my recommended tab today after posting videos for 2 years? Why TH-cam, WHY??? Either way just found this channel, watched a couple of videos and I must say I am loving the experience until now! Wish you a ton of success and hope to see more incredible content coming soon ;)
I was just looking at some info... It seems like there were (at least) two prototypes in the US and you may have confused the story of the two consoles. One is the one owned by KidVid, and the second was in the possession of a “former Sega employee”. The second one (which had “Sega Saturn” emblazoned on its top, and not just the S logo, and is pictured in your video’s still image) is the one that sold for $84,000 last year. Either KidVid still has his, or he made some sort of a private sale.
You sound an awful lot like Lucy Longhurst from Cybernet back in the day....and that's really cool! - I really miss that show :( .Anyway , keep up the good work. Subbed
Watching this reminded me of the Sega CD2, that I desperately wanted when I was 9 years old or something like that, but didn't know at all what it was good for, I just really wanted it besides already owning a mega drive 2..
The one that I saw was some guy accompanied Adam koralik from Chicago took it up to Madison Wisconsin so Ben heck can work on it and get it running they also found out the Prototype we have here in the United States used to be white and it was just painted black
Okay wait did I see a Seagate harddrive there too? Is that something from the Pluto repair video? Did the Pluto have a harddrive in it like most consoles now and what was it used for???
Great video! Sega does seem to have been ahead of the curve when it came to internet connectivity. Also, it's refreshing to have a British source that refers to car boot sales and weighs consoles in stones so I don't have to translate in my head ;)
I know one of the 2 Sega Plutos in the world got to a creator named Crusherbad64 I believe. He showed it off in one of his videos 5 months ago. At least know what happened to one of them
never heard of your channel but when i saw the info and this video alone made me click that sub button. your probably the only girl talking about this kinda stuff. edit: 5:29 if you look carefully in her eye you can see 2 pupils!
There were only 5 Saturn games that had any Saturn Modem/Netlink Modem so didn't make any sense to re-tool manufacturing for this additional console to be manufactured and complicating Sega's production. If people really wanted to use the Saturn on the net they could buy the modem for a regular Saturn. There was no killer app of an internet game for the Saturn, bit of a problem.
I'd like to know about the original owner and how the heck did they ever manage to get their hands on it and why on Earth did they sell it for a dollar? Due to how ridiculously rare it's turned out to be I was glad to hear that Kid Vid still has it. He would have been seriously screwing himself if he'd let it go for under $100,000. A possible scenario: I just got home from school, "Mum, where's my Sega?". "what? That one you rarely ever use? I sold it at the car boot sale today". "aww, that disappointing, please tell me you got a decent price". "I got a dollar for it". WWWWWHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTT..............
$84,000?! Is that the highest offer ever for a home video game system? I imagine KidVid ponied up at least $10,000 each to Ben and Adam in trying to get that Pluto back into its original working condition. With Sega no longer making video game _hardware_ (now 20 years since the Dreamcast project closed up shop), in 10 years that Pluto could be worth at least _$300,000._ I hope that whoever bought it put it in a thoroughly padded box with fireproof material around it.
Ain't that the sonic song that summons the tails doll 🤣🤣, i would have loved to try some of these unreleased Sega's , and I wish the Sega channel would come back lol
The gaming world just wasnt ready for online gaming on a scale where it would justify an expensive hardware revision just for that purpose back in the mid 90s. At least not in Europe. What they really should have done instead of 32x, CD, Neptune and Pluto is a deluxe Saturn with Megadrive backwards compatibility. That would have been it! Go 32bit and take your 16bit library with you. Nobody else offered that, all obsessed with polygons.
This sexy woman brings some old ass technology to light, that has not been seen, mostly forgotten, or never was a thing, in many years! Lady Decade is my new fave! Cheerz!
I bought an apple pippin but then i found out the games were more expensive than the system itself so i sold it (it was supposed to work with burn blank cd games but it almost never did) i got a bootleg power rangers Zeo game to work once and never again 😂
With only 2 Plutos left on the planet, the new owner of KidVid's Pluto could get more than $300,000 for it in 10 years... Now, if Steve Jobs hadn't come back to Apple (c1997), to overhaul its operation and redesign macOS when he did, and Apple had gone belly-up sometime between 2000 and 2005, that Pippin of yours (if you still have it) might be worth at least $5,000 now.

I haven't seen Ben's video yet, but that was pretty decent of him to do those repairs for free.

I love Saturn. PlayStation classics are very accessible. So many hidden gems for the Saturn and great arcade ports you can’t even find anywhere.
That was fascinating. Bummer very few exist. But at least those remaining, are in good homes. SEGA's console legacy, so many stories, and some buried treasures.

Excellent. I do enjoy obscure learning about consoles and peripherals :)

I actually played the Sega Pluto at a Games Expo in Sacramento the game it was playing was Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams
This was a good video... You got a new sub!.
Yeah it's rare and a cool story of how he stumbled across it. Super cool!!!!!
If you find gold you don't sell at a bronze price, only 2 in the world!. Don't blame him one bit, wait for the right price. A once in a lifetime find
So much first 🏰🐢
SEGA probably bought it. But used a 3rd party to buy it. They felt stupid leaving something like that out in the wild.
Keep up the good work lass and stay safe. Hope Richard and the sproglets are well.
@Lady Decade - I enjoyed this video a lot, great commentary, and love the accent! Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video 🙌🏽💪🏽😎💯
Another lil fun fact about that Pluto: it’s the only Pluto remaining with a black case, the one at the NVM has a white case, making it even rarer
great video, I have subbed and looking forward to more
Another Awesome retro video
Top hat wrestling man is one lucky sob
Great videos Lady Decade 🤘
Thanks for that. I thought I knew about this console but I guess I didn’t at all. Appreciate the vid.

I'm actually sort of astonished that nobody's made a "Sega Uranus" joke.
Because it would stink
The Sega Pluto, aka the model 3 Sega Saturn.
While it's unfortunate the purchased Sega Pluto likely won't ever see the light of day, good for kidvid for making that cash 💸💸

The gaming world just wasnt ready for online gaming on a scale where it would justify an expensive hardware revision just for that purpose back in the mid 90s.
At least not in Europe.
What they really should have done instead of 32x, CD, Neptune and Pluto is a deluxe Saturn with Megadrive backwards compatibility.
