dj_convoy Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 You may wish to fix the header where it says Special Features(might be a good place for graphics for each point) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I asked this on Facebook, but think it got overlooked. For the $300 early access tier on Kickstarter, does that include the boxed copy of Sydney Hunter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoJoe Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 what about support? What kind of support will you be offering if problems arise with the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I asked this on Facebook, but think it got overlooked. For the $300 early access tier on Kickstarter, does that include the boxed copy of Sydney Hunter? Hi Bill, Sorry about the late reply. i was trying to get a few logistics worked out. The Early Access does not include the CIB of Sydney Hunter. If you want to upgrade to the CIB you can order the upgrade on my store. https://colecovisionupgradesandsales.ecwid.com/#!/CollectorVision-Phoenix-Early-Access/c/30667389/offset=0&sort=nameAsc The reason for the higher cost on the Early access is that we are going to make those systems regardless of whether the kickstarter is funded. If the kickstarter isn't funded we will need the extra money to cover the extra costs of the much lower quantity order. If the Kickstarter is funded, we will try and see what we can do to provide something a little something extra for the early access supporters (no promises) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern with not doing the early access via the Kickstarter is that they're not contributing to your goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 If you haven't done early access yet, then yes do it through kickstarter. You can add an extra pledge of $25 to upgrade to the CIB version. I was thinking you were referring to those who had already done the early access prior to kickstarter. Thanks,Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the kickstarter isn't funded we will need the extra money to cover the extra costs of the much lower quantity order. Does that also apply to those who pledge for Early Access on the Kickstarter, i.e. that if the Kickstarter fails they will still get a Phoenix unit (albeit without an injection molded case but likely a 3D printed case)?

If the kickstarter isn't funded. Those who did early access would have to go back and re-order through the original webstore link as the Kickstarter orders would all be cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nurmix Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just backed the Kickstarter. Posted it on The Intellivisionaries Podcast Facebook page, and will mention it on the next episode as well. Good luck, guys! Sent from my Keyboard Component using Jack's Conversational Intelli-talk cassette 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SegaSnatcher Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I hope this gets funded, but hitting that $230K goal is going to be very difficult. You would also do well contacting some of the big youtube gamer channels like Metal Jesus Rocks and John Hancock to get the word out. Bob from RetroRGB would also be another good person to help get the word out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah, looks like you reached 10% in 2 days, but momentum will probably be at its height NOW. Probably need to generate more interest for this to get the remaining 90% in 30 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably need to generate more interest for this to get the remaining 90% Yeah the 30 days is a bit steep. For instance, if I were to back this project I can't do it for the next two months due to expenses so i'm out right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmack36 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Does a CIB copy come with the Ultimate Collectorvision Phoenix? It isn't mentioned in the kickstarter, but we will include the CIB with the Ultimate CollectorVision Phoenix. The early access will need to pay additional $25 to upgrade to the CIB.

Bmack36 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 . Can we have all the bigwigs sign our CIB box if we get the UCP? Yes the CollectorVision Team can sign the Sydney Hunter CoD Box for the UCP backers if they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SegaSnatcher Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I just saw that Metal Jesus Rocks tweeted about the Kickstarter. That should help get the word out for sure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Pat and Ian seem to follow Atariage a bit. I'd contact them as well. They seem to have a fairly large audience who might not know about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my Retro Games Fan page I tweeted out to Metal Jesus Rocks, Pat & Ian, and a few others yesterday morning about the console. Hopefully that helped drive awareness to some of those bigger gaming bloggers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 For those of you who would like to see a demo of the CollectorVision Phoenix, I was happy to receive a prototype version today to produce some videos with! More than happy to help these guys spread the good word about this console! Back the project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1408938247/collectorvision-phoenix-an-fpga-colecovision-conso/ Here is the link to this video on Facebook. Please share this video on Facebook with as many Retrogaming pages or groups as you know to help spread the word about the Kickstarter! It's going to need as much word of mouth as it can get! https://www.facebook.com/colecovisionfan/videos/337429840345689/ 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) I will be backing this. My Colecovision is getting on in years and it could use a replacement. I also see no reason to keep my current SGM adapter if I invest in this new console. Edit: Found the answer to my question.
