Me too, but as recent history has shown, common-sense and greed are mutually opposed.3DO Experience wrote:But in Trip's defense that doesn't mean that the real MSRP was $599, it just means that sellers went with the $699 misprint. However I would think they might try to sell more consoles by going with $599 rather than try and squeeze an extra $100 out of people, but I'm not in the retail business and would try to keep prices down if I were.

People have been scanning old video game mags and putting up PDFs and CBR/CBZ files. Just do some searching. Retromags.com and some torrent sites have them. Combine them with a tablet for reading and it's retro bliss.
The 3DO pricing screams emergency damage control backpedaling to me. Perhaps Hawkins was indeed intensely fighting the hardware manufacturers. It went from $700 to $450 in about 6 months. $450 was still probably $150 too high to get sales really flowing, especially when the software library was really weak too.
