I`ll be honest, cos I`m drunk - and there`s no other option, consumers could care less about r&d cost, manufs should know that, it`s not a good excuse. They should be prepared to eat r&d costs.
The item, even tho it may work splendidly, will not sell for £300. No player in their right minds would buy this for £300. I can afford this - and I say no way.
It will be bought by those who`s own money isn`t paying for it. Corporates etc. Average Joe will not pay £300 for a HID.
I`d limit price at about £100. Just to get it out there. If it proves good in the game field, bring out a new version with pretty lights on it for £150 or something (with no r&d cost) just to recoup money.
I may appologize about this post 2morrow.
