$190

...What?

[–] Lommy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. When I saw it I was interested, until I saw the price. It probably is worth it but I can't justify it for myself

[–] Nima@leminal.space 5 points 2 months ago

where exactly is the 190 going to go? is the quality in the room with us? cause I'm having trouble understanding why a white, plain looking plastic shell and generic gamepad circuit board is worth 190 dollars.

And here I was expecting 50$. lol they're selling a 190$ cheap rip off and didn't even bother to include hall effect joysticks? Cmon...

I bought a VM2. DreamMods makes high-quality products, but they're a small company based in Greece, and getting their product through customs is apparently extremely time-consuming (read: months).

expected to launch within Q4 2024

If you order at launch, expect to receive one in Q1 2026.

That's more than I paid for my DC console 😅
