Daytona USA DC

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 16 Sep 2007 08:28 am

I'm going to hunt down a copy of Daytona for the DC. Which version should I be looking for?

I found a couple of copies of 2001 Jap versions. Is this the one I should grab?

If anyone has a copy that they want to offload that could end my search even faster

US version has online play (lol. Dedicated servers!!!) while the PAL does not.

Hmmm... so it doesn't really matter which version I get then.

I'm going to use this now irrelevant thread to tell you all that Sony may be selling their chip fabs to Toshiba and that lestat will probably find that news in a week or two and try to spin it as Sony having a fire sale.

Nobody tell him because I want him to figure it out for himself.

As it turns out, my housemate has a copy so I might as well just play his and get my fix over with.

Shit you must be Carnac because the first press release was put out at midnight EST (10am EDT).

Or could it be that you're lying out of your ass to save face? As if you of all people could resist posting that news if you really did find it out yesterday.

You can ask pat, we were talking about it on msn yesterday. It was on Japanese news wires yesterday, saw it over at opa ages yesterday.

Saw this over at b3d.

Hon Hai Precision to manufacture low-price PS3?
Saturday 15th September 2007, 03:02:31 PM, written by Stefan Salzl

China Economic News Service (CENS) is reporting that the Taiwanese based manufacturer Hon Hai Precision has secured contracts from Sony to manufacture Sony's current home console flagship PlayStation3 alongside ASUSTeK Computer.

According to the report insiders claimed that Sony plans to introduce low-price SKUs, which are to be manufactured by ASUSTeK and Hon Hai, to boost their rather sluggish sales. Furthermore investors expect the move to foreshadow a more aggressive price campaign to increase the PlayStation 3's market share.

I guess the rumors of a $399 40gb ps3 must be true. The selling off of the insurance arm/chip fab business will net them around 2.5-3b in cash. Enough to fund losses for a big last stand push on ps3.

This is like a secret thread where Mech wont come in and try to defend Sony.

Would read again.

well... I think I got that out of my system

It's a great arcade game, I have to admit that. That's about it though. Some nice remixes of the original themes.

I think my DC might finally be dying... I'm not certain though. I finally cracked open my sealed copy of SEGA Rally and it kept dropping back to the DC main menu... It eventually started working but I was uncertain if that was due to the DC or just the disc... SEGA Rally over VGA is pretty rad. The car looks like it's floating over the track though... but still plays great on VGA. Pity about the bodge standard TV version.
