Well I saw GLC like this for 50$ and a custom PCB like this could cost >20$. In addition the microcontroller may cost around 10$.
With my experience with this kind of electronic systems, up to 4 hours per PCB would be needed…
I don’t think you could buy this for less than 100$… and with no benefit.
Ok building them in zillions would decrease costs to nothing…but this is done one by one…

I don’t know. How much do the components cost and how much time would it take to make one?

Pixel Robot…what do you think it is a reasonable price for this?

I’d buy one right now! If it were reasonably priced, that is…

That is really cool. Sounds like a fun and educational project to undertake.

I want it! No really, man, I wish I could buy one! A roguelike handheld system would be awesome.

I’ll be damned, this may well be the thing that actually trumps this crazy thing in some respects. http://www.ladyada.net/make/fuzebox/index.html http://belogic.com/uzebox/
