It looks amazing, but... why? I can't see myself spending more than 10 bucks on something like this. There are plenty of "vintage styled" games on Steam, getting a Raspberry Pi and putting it into a nice cover would be probably cheaper.

- criddell 5y agoNobody is buying this thing because it's cheap. First, it's coming from Panic. They have enough fans that they can probably sell out the first run just on their reputation. Secondly, the industrial design looks great or at least novel. For $180 you get a neat looking toy and are supporting the development of new stuff. $180 feels like a sustainable price. It is a lot of money, but for many people on HN $180 is an easy impulse buy.
