In a nutshell; I bought mine at its release. The time of Nintendo 64 release.
Keeping track of all the 'Next Generation' consoles at the time subscribing to GameFan and NextGen magazines monthly. I made my decision to purchase a Sega Saturn - The time Nintendo 64 made its launch, 1995/96.
Mines came with stickers, and the Virtua Fighter II / Daytona USA / Virtua Cop bundle. On the side, I bought NiGHTS: Into Dream, Die Hard Arcade, and Robo Pit. I've rented all the available North American Saturn titles at Blockbuster the later two years.
From then on, I joined SaturnTorrents (pioneer of bringing Sega Saturn torrents online) I've burned/played many titles. In 2003 I bought a handful of Japanese games including official 4MBRAM Carts. Took a hiatus, now i'm back into playing Sega Saturn.
I aquired mine around april 1996 and came with Virtual cop and World wide soccer bundle if i remember correctly, later i bought panzer dragoon, sonic, dragon ball and a bunch of other that i've keep on borrow and lost track of them...
