*POLL* NES vs SEGA Clamshell

Couldn't have said it better. I've mentioned both of these points in the past and it's solid reassurance they will do well. How could they not do well when your the first and only one selling them? There's also way more factors involved and various reasons why these would be more sought after by a wider range then an updated UGC. That in itself should be the deciding factor.
If the idea here is to determine which case is going to bring in funds quicker to put towards the next mold in line, then Sega is the way to go IMO.
I'd be in for a 100+ cases just to start when they become available.

To be fair, the UGC is an option, so you can't say that there are no competitors. Don't get me wrong, a replica of the original Sega case would be a thousand times better than a UGC, but the UGC option is still there. That is why I stress that it is important to keep the price competitive if not cheaper than the UGC. Otherwise you get into the same situation at the Bit Boxes. If the price ends up being somewhere around 50% to 100% more than a UGC, than they might not move as quickly and we all are thinking.
I'm not saying Sega cases shouldn't be next, but I want to make sure Shadowfox thinks about all possible scenarios.

Yeah, both will happen... just what one first? ;) Basically, MY cost per cases for either the SEGA or the UGC like cases are MORE than $0.50ea. ...haha. I'm able to get that lower.... but only if I buy literally 100k cases at a time. :o
So I was thinking the $1.00 area. I think once I get like 4-5 cases out there and volume goes up, I should be able to get below the $1.00 mark. :)

count me in for 100 sega cases

1: To make case that would hold any cart (except nes as it has to orient different way) would be to put manual clip like hooks to the right side as well which would hook in the circuit opening of the cart.
OR
2: Make case that would have empty right side that would have groove around the edges where you could slide sort of like plate that would be made for each cart type separate that way you would have perfect fit for each cart.

I said something like that a while back too, and got shot down by many members of the forum. Make it fit the biggest\most common game, and sell cheap plastic to hold the others.
After you make replacement Sega CD\Saturn cases!
