Oh boy. Gonna have a huge RSVP line. I can't believe they thought these would last eight hours considering they only have about 200 or so from what employees are saying. There will be a line around the block for 24 hours if they don't do a form / queue / lottery. The components (without drives) cost about $1500-2000 each.
- Etheryte 7y agoFor those interested, this information (~200 units, 2 per person) was shared on Reddit and wasn't on the original article. As for the time-frame, if they manage one transaction (giving one person 2 units) per five minutes on average, they roughly fit into eight hours.
