Act Labs Light Guns are back!!!

Pages: (1/12) > >>

pacmod:

I just went out to Act Labs website and ordered some guns.  They said they are going to do a limited run of 250 light guns.  The catch now is that they want $99.00 per gun.  I guess it is better than the $200+ on eBay!!!

Their website would not allow me to checkout, but I received an email stating they had the problem fixed.  GOOD LUCK!!!

Here is the information posted on their website:

Pre-Order Details:

Updated 04/01/05
We have received many e-mails asking us about the PC USB Light Gun and TV Light Gun after we sold our last unit in 2004. ACT Labs is considering one final manufacturing run for customers still wanting to purchase a unit. As soon as we reach
250 units in pre-orders, we will ask our factory to proceed with production. Because of the small quantity to be manufactured, we have lost our volume discount and prices have increased.
ACT Labs thanks you for your support and we hope that we can reach the minimum order quantity shortly. Watch this page for updates.

Thanks for the news!  We all knew something like this would happen.  I wonder if my recent post about the high bid on ebay had anything to do with this?  Still, I paid a forumite a similar ridiculously high price, and don't feel bad about it.  Act-Labs could've done this long ago if they wanted to.  I'm perfectly content with the one that I have, and I can wait now until an even better gun comes along, which it surely will.

The price is now listed at $79.99 for pre-orders plus shipping.

I found and used promo code MDM for a 10% discount HAH!

That brought the order with shipping down to about $81. Not bad.

Quarters:

Thanks for the heads up Pacmod. I just placed an order. Strange that I have not received an email from them yet. I suspect that there are few hundred of us that signed up for email notification. How many of those will actually shell out is unknown but the min order may be reached faster than they think.

while i've been waiting to get a lightgun for mame, is this price really worth it to you guys?  mostly after all the new guns about to be coming out...

also, for the pc gun, it still doesn't support two players, right?  and how many games in mame, not counting the clones, use lightguns?  i guess i'm a little frugal, even though i'm willing to spend 200 bucks on a star wars yoke.  :)
