Okay, debate time. I am so eager to grab a chipped Saturn for my impending birthday. Preferably a nice Jap one for a change. And including a 50/60Hz switch.
It seems two sites are currently vying for my bank balance's attention. I can choose between the services of ConsolePassion or ConsoleGoods.
As of this typing, there is one chipped Jap console available in the former, and quite a few in the latter. More details to follow. (Bear in mind these prices do not include postage.)

Sega Saturn Modified Japanese White Switchless Console Loose - Sega Saturn (NTSC-J) - £110
The latest addition to our modified Saturn range! This Japanese console is fully modified with our new switchless modification boards - no switches are added to the consoles, no holes drilled, no cosmetic changes to the exterior of the console. You cannot buy these anywhere else in the world - they are exclusive to Console Passion! Everything can be changed by holding the reset switch - 50hz/60Hz setting and Jap/US/UK settings. The internal mod board will cycle though the settings and changes the colour of the LED to let you know which region you are on. Also, a mod chip has been added which allows you to play CDR's. This will allow you to play all the excellent homebrew games that are available for the Saturn. This chip was not fitted by us - the console was bought pre-modified, so please do not ask us questions about it, questions about how to copy games or where to obtain copied games. They will just be ignored. Console Passion does not condone the pirating of games, the mod-chip is included for homebrew games only. This is a Japanese console which runs at 110V and will require a stepdown converter to run in the UK and Europe. We can supply one of these if required. The console has been tested and comes unboxed without any instructions. Comes with control deck, official white game controller, power cable and AV Leads. Please ensure your TV can play an NTSC signal to use this console.

Now, bear in mind CP have a modding service so you could take a console from CG and send it to them if you want to have a 50/60Hz switch added in afterwards, but that's an additional £35 plus postage. Hmmm.
Deep down, what sort of combination do you suggest?
