Sun, I would guess that average retailers even after rebate is around $120 at least. There were 500K V2 in there and most of those I've seen on the shelves are between $150-$190.

The markup looks closer to 40% to me...

I agree with Sun about selling direct.

1) they don't have to worry about pissing CREAF or DIMD off. Done that.

2) the demographic is right. Gamers are online.

3) they already have an Internet Marketing Specialist, right Jason?

4) must be some way to differentiate from store sales??

5) a great way to get rid of excess inventory if nothing else.
