This is being finalized and we have no pricing at this time. You can choose a standard (edit - corrected spelling) computer case and mount it any way you like. More on this later.

We have made everything optional to allow people to pick and choose what best suits their needs. The items that are available from Pinball Life will be part of a pre-order that will be available shortly. We will update you when it's online.

Hey Chuck, looks like great pricing -  means $615.00 AUD. Still, not expensive when you consider that dead hardware would otherwise make the game worthless save for parts.

$400 sounds affordable - a very reasonable price point. Now all those Pin2K owners in Australia need to hope the Aussie dollar goes back up again against the greenback.

[Strangeways]

Very affordable - even with the exchange rate.

Give me a couple of years, Chuck - I need to get a few things done before buying a P2K.. Unless.. Wizard Blocks is done !

The price is very reasonable. I just want to know one thing: with the $400 kit do you get the ability to write your own game code for it? That might be down the road for you but just wondering as I know part of your plan was to further develop P2K.

At this point in time, no.  There is no development kit with the Nucore first release.

That's cool. With what you guys have done you really need to take a break to relax a little and sleep.
