Kickstarter project - Ultimate Mancave, need tips please

<< < (3/15) > >>

Malenko:
I agree that we arent exactly your target audience.  I think the price points a little high on pretty much everything. $250 for buttons, sticks, and an encoder?  I mean I know the point is to raise money but that's a BIG investment, and that particular kit seems to be aimed at someone who knows what they are doing, and would likely not buy a pre-made cabinet.

Gravity123:
Le Chuck:  This is the first time I've used a forum, looks like you are a pro with over 4k posts here.  This is GREAT!  Wishing I would have started doing this years ago.  I would have learned so much and perhaps saved myself from making so many mistakes.

One thing I'm hoping to get from here are some ideas on how creative people would use the Game Gate.  I imagine it would be great with a modified Xbox 360 (which I've never actually seen or done, only modified original).

Gravity123:
Malenko:  good point, however I do know that you would have a hard time making what's here including delivery for under $1500.   Do you think there would be any interest in the cabinet without the arcade panel, so the user could build their own?  Would that make it relevant or is it too much of a stretch.



ChadTower:

The controllers on Xbox kiosks don't bend out of the way.  They'd just hit you in the crotch as you're trying to use the arcade controls.

No, Im not knocking your price point on the final 2 things, its actually pretty reasonable all things considered. Its pretty much everything under that , that is going to be a tough sell.  As long as you're making money on the most expensive items, don't limit the number that you can sell. I don't think anyone would buy a machine with no CP , unless you're going to sell "flat pack" kits, which is probably going to cost an arm and 2 legs to ship.

To put it in perspective, the XBOX 360 EVO TE Pro stick goes for about 200 and its allegedly the "creme del le creme" of single player fight sticks, most people on ShoRyuKade sell single player sticks for 100 to 150 and they are the fight game experts over there.  Again, not knocking what you are offering and youre does have more "features" than their sticks ; but for me, I dont think I'd ever use 2 analog sticks, unless I was playing geometry wars.
