    Quoted from Oldgoat:

    How about people like me that have the standard MMR? You have to pay $399 but don't actually get a new display. I wasn't 'plugged into' all of the drama around the colorization of MMR; although I recognize there were some marketing issues/product expectations that resulted in the tiered pricing between the std and LE version. However, having to pay the same $ as the 'sets' that include a new display doesn't sit well and feels like I would be getting less value for the same $ as other titles.

    And you can't take it out and put it in another machine.

    However the coloring for MMR is pretty awesome and I'm sure those guys worked long hours to get it looking so good.

    I think it's a lot of first time buyers that complain about the price. Once you've seen one in person you kind of make room in your budget.

    For all of the bellyaching, they do seem to sell out pretty often.

    Quoted from tjc02002:

    so their work is locked up in proprietary colordmd software for the financial benefit of colordmd.

    While in most situations I would agree with you, this is one I don't. Sure I may have been willing to color a game for free but who knows when it would have been done or if I would have finished. Randy and Chris provided financial incentive and technical support to help keep me chugging along till it was done. If this helps them sell a few more displays then I'm happy.
