Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

The price isn't going to be reduced.  It just hasn't been calculated yet.  I was thinking originally that it would be a certain point, and now I don't have that certainty.  But it could be anything, since the models determine the price, not me.  I do know that there is ~80% chance that the price will be between $2,500 and $6,500 per copy.



Currently, we have only one issue left and that will be solved shortly.  Exactly how long it will take I cannot say, but it's most likely to be solved between the 15th and the 21st of this month.

That's a hefty price!



Now I myself wanting to inquire how much DMSI in 6G is going to cost. In order to start saving money if necessary. Back in the day you projected it's going to cost 1.500 USD, but I can see the planned prices are increasing.

Premiums have a minimum price of $1,500, and have no price limit.  Price will be determined as much by what value is delivered as by who isn't supposed to be able to get access to the title based on what its goals are.

I don't have any idea what DMSI in 6G will cost.  And don't presume that because one title has a higher price, that all Premiums will.  They will be at least $1,500, but the rest is up to the models as to what works best.  One Premium might be $6,500, and the next might be $1,500.  Then we might have one be $4,500 and then $1,750.  It's not going to be like standard subs, where a generation gets a static price.

So far I have been unable to get a positive lock on the final price for X4A-2000, which usually means there are still too many possibilities that could come to pass to narrow it down yet.
