I picked up a Sega Saturn with some games a month ago for cheap. I'm trying to sell it, but I don't have video cable for it. I was wondering where is best the best (and cheapest) place to get video cables for this system? I'm also looking to pick up one for my self, since the saturn I picked up for my self only had a RF cable with it. I'm guessing the best cable available for the system is S-Video. Are any of the Sega Genesis or Dreamcast cables compatible with the Saturn?

Genny / DC S-Video cables won't work with the Saturn.
There were some made in Japan, though. Back when I got my first Saturn, it included a Sega-branded S-Video cable.

Play-Asia stocks Saturn s-video cables. They're third-party, but the one I bought worked fine for me.

I purchased several of these and am really happy with them. Good price too.

Thanks. I hadn't thought to check play-asia. I was also looking and found some at a place called the electric quarter. I'm tempted to get one there since it says they include a battery as well for the system.

I'm thinking I'll through in my RF cable with the system I'm trying to sell and pick up one of these cables from play-asia or the electric quarter.

I think the Electric Quarter guy posts on this board, and no offense to him, but I purchased three SNES/N64/Gamecube S-video cables and they were all crap (awful S-video output). I was able to return them for a partial refund (can't remember why it wasn't full) and bought official Nintendo S-Video cables instead which are far superior. I'd go with the Play Asia Saturn cables since I wouldn't buy anything from EQ again. But who knows, maybe his other stuff works! Just consider yourself warned.

I got my Saturn S-Video cables (and the Component ones for my PS2) from EQ, and have had no issues at all with them on my HDTV.
