If that would be the case we should all pair up to get cheaper pyras for everyoneAny chance of being able to buy a second, backup unit at cost (ie, without the fixed/shared cost split like R&D)?
Or to get second pyras and resell them for $$$$ because... undercutting is fun?If that would be the case we should all pair up to get cheaper pyras for everyone
Can't see why that would be bad
I don't want to bother you again with the same thing @EvilDragon, but after the GPD success, don't you think there's enough room for a Pyra campaign? I think it can reach easily the goal and spread the word for more Pyra's future users.
Hm, that might be an idea, as an increased production run would also lower the costs a tiny bit.
I'll think about what would be possible here.
A potential stretch goal: reach $XXX and everyone who ordered one can order a second one for YY% off?Hm, that might be an idea, as an increased production run would also lower the costs a tiny bit.

I rather not ED doing this because it means that he would earn less money, as far as I understood, ED is going to need money to start the mass production, so there's no point for him and for us to do this.A potential stretch goal: reach $XXX and everyone who ordered one can order a second one for YY% off?
I'll do a campaign if need be (i.e. if we can't get enough preorders).
A campaign is nice, but there are a couple of things:
You get the money approx. 1 month after the campaign. With preorders, I get it right away - so that means: I can order the mass production right after I got enough preorders, but with a campaign, the delay would be another month at least.
A crowdfunding site takes 10 - 15% (don't know exact how much) of the price. So the Pyra would be 550 instead of 500 EUR.
So if possible, I'd like to handle this with preorders - and if that doesn't work, with a Kickstarter campaign.
@EvilDragon looks like you have to start another post-pre-pre-order run.
Maybe the backup units could share a serial number and MAC addresses (and... other stuff that conflicts ugly?) with the main one, so it's less practical to cheat this way.Or to get second pyras and resell them for $$$$ because... undercutting is fun?
Hell no! If I'd get a second unit I'd also want to use it with the first one in multiplayer games. Closing down an open handheld is a horrible idea.Maybe the backup units could share a serial number and MAC addresses (and... other stuff that conflicts ugly?) with the main one, so it's less practical to cheat this way.
