Suddenly I feel silly about laughing at that old PS3 reveal joke.

RIP.
I feel bad for CCP and how much money they put into Valkyrie. $915 Canadian when all is said and done. Pass.

I don't even want to know how bad that price is for EU customers with the VAT added on.

You always pay a premium to be an early adopter of new technology.

This isn't going to be the price forever, just for those that want it first.

What on earth does this have to do with EVE?

People bought Projectors, PlayStations, Xboxes, 3D TVs, 4k displays ...

No different. People either have the money and don't care ...
... or don't really have the money and still buy it for bragging rights.

In the end, once the cows are milked, prices will go down.


Not sure I will ever buy this....

Nothing. It's in the wrong forum, but not a bad place to start.

It has to do with EVE: Valkyrie, because it's bumbled with the hardware.

Bumbled... get it? Hahahahaha so bad. XD

Since CCP has been spending money on everything except Eve Online in the past recent years (Vampire MMOs, shooters for outdated consoles, etc), I was nearly praying that Valkyrie should become a success so that CCP is over-flooded with money that they can once again wisely use for its main game. However, I am now afraid that people will not at all play that game, and CCP has once again done a wrong move...

So Eve project Legion will be the last bastion? Will Legion decide the future of its main game, or is eve dying, which it is since 2003 TM.

You should stop with the obvious lies and constant, useless, bashing of CCP.

Step up your game already.
For a gimmick-char are you below average and not interesting at all.

CCP spend more on Eve online than anything else.

Btw. 599 before tax and shipping is extra. Funny is that Europeans have to pay 700 euros for it (which is 750 USD, so 150 usd more) and that is also before shipping charges and before customs which is anywhere between 8-25% depending on where in Europe you live.
