It's really stupidly hard to get, and it's going to take at least 4 figures to pry one from someone now.

The last copy of Daytona CCE seen on eBay was July 22, and it only went for $405 CIB.

The game is ridiculously rare though. I doubt you'll have to pay 4 figures for it, but your best bet to get the game is really to take anyone's price on it, due to how ridiculously rare the game is.

4 figures, i will not do. i mean, thats just too much.
however, based on that last auction on ebay (which i have seen and im sorry to say i wasn't aware of it at the time:mad:), i'm willing to pay between $250-450. pretty much anything under $500.
thing is, i will actually be USING the game for Netlink gameplay, it's not just to sit on a shelf. i desire a genuine, real deal Daytona Netlink for that. and also it would be apart of my collection but its definitely going to be seeing playtime.
thanks for the input everyone. maybe i will get lucky!

I honestly think the game is undervalued for as rare as it is. I don't see why this game would be silly at four figures honestly....

Because it's US Saturn.

i didn't say four figures was silly, but i personally do not have $1000 or more to spend on a video game. $500 is a lot to me and really crossing the borderline based on my income and other responsibilities in life. however, i truly want to have this game, so its as far as i'm willing to go if someone selling it is interested.

and yes, netlink works through direct dial-up. so as long as phone companies provide analong phone service, netlink will always work. :) basically how older pc games were connected, through modem to modem dialing.

I wish Xband still existed for Genesis this way...

XBAND didn't work through direct dialing though, I believe you had to dial through the XBAND servers.

If someone offers me 4 figures I would really really consider selling mine.

You dialed to the server, then it matched with your modem or an opponent's modem calling your opponent directly.

I just paid $800 for this factory sealed Daytona Netlink:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220523929778
There are no other U.S. Saturn games that are truly rare and many, many people need just this one game to complete their U.S. Saturn collections. This was the last game I needed to complete my U.S. Saturn collection and I had been looking for it for over two years. The last time I bid on one my bid of $511.11 was outbid, that auction ended up going over $700. There was another Daytona Netlink for sale on eBay recently in perfect but opened condition but the buyer was asking $1000 Buy It Now. It didn't sell as far as I know. The DP rarity guide has it listed as a R8 worth $200, I think it is probably more like an R9 worth $500.

$800 seems kind of inexpensive for a sealed copy of such a rare game.

You mean to tell me I've got one of the rarest US saturn games?!
A few months ago I bought 4 saturns, with over 60 games+ 3 Dreamcasts and 30 games all for 90 bucks. I got at least a half dozen copies of Daytona USA, and as it turns out, one of them was this......
I thought I didn't have such luck...... but it's about dang time.

Congrats on finally taking the plunge, my good man. I'd much rather spend big bucks on a title like Daytona NetLink compared to Smurfs 2 on the SMS or some other kinda-released game on another system. It has an interesting history, and yeah, it still could be relevant for person to person dialing. Problem is, you'd have to find another person crazy enough to pay for the investment! I don't know if I could live with a sealed copy, though - I'd want to crack it open to check it out.
