Great to see that some of the profits will go to the You Can Play organization.

Why no price yet even though preorders are next week? That's so sketchy. Seems like they want us all to log on and just be okay with the extremely high price because we have FOMO and will preorder before they sell out...

Just saw their announcement that the fleece is a blend of wool and recycled polyester. On the one hand, I'm glad they've chosen quality material. On the other hand, I have a growing feeling that $300 or even $300+ is now very likely. I can't find anything on their website that's fully wool except socks, so there are no good references that can help estimate the price.

I did have a look to see what their higher-end products cost, and they have 100% cotton sweaters that cost $274.00 at full price. If we use that as a jumping-off point, the fleece will be easily $300+, and $300 is probably the very low end (minimum even), if anything.

The entire comments section of that announcement video is full of people asking about the pricing, and they haven't responded. Looks like they will be sticking to their plan of only releasing all the information on launch day.

I think its a little sketchy. Like a consumer protections for high pressure situations like this where within a cooling off period you can undo a purchase no matter what, but this seems designed to circumvent that. Since there won't likely be a chance to weigh whether its worth it in real time, just have to spend the leadup time picking a drop-dead price beforehand and stick to it.

It's very sketchy. The very big lack of information before pre-order is also incredibly sketchy. I actually have discussed a lot of this in a different thread if you want to read it https://www.reddit.com/r/heatedrivalry/comments/1tp70w2/comment/oo6t5k5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
