DIY Gamer Kit

Sun Nov 09, 2014 11:18 pm

While reading some tech news, I came around this kit:

It is not bad, actually it is quite interesting but...75 pounds??

8x8? It couldn't be tinier.
Still pretty cool though, but I can't see many games for it. :?:

That's why I'm still surprised when people tell me Gamebuino is to expensive... when you know an Arduino is 25€ haha. But 100€ for an 8x8 LED matrix seems a little too much to me, it's not even soldered. But ok, it's in a pretty box, so that's alright :lol:

Yep I noticed the pretty box, the visual marketing around it is probably responsible for the price.
75 pounds+shipping would be too much for me for what that gives.

I can make nice boxes for the Gamebuino, then Rodot can sell it for 75 Euros. Haha!

I can add cool art to it and then Rodot can push 200 pounds! 8-)
