Title: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: wildbil52 on August 22, 2012, 08:40:47 AM After looking at the size of the book, the detail, how much interesting information is included, and the overall production value, I was really excited about adding this to the bookshelf.
Then I saw the price... I know that books aren't cheap to produce and take a lot of work to put together, but $175 for a hardcover book seems a bit crazy. Also, they say this is a non profit project and ALL money goes towards printing costs. How can that be? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1607016995/pixel-perfect-mike-tysons-punch-out?ref=live Title: Re: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: Crabmaster2000 on August 22, 2012, 08:50:36 AM Very cool project, but like you said the price is crazy high. Couldnt see myself paying more than $30-40 for something like that.

Title: Re: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on August 22, 2012, 09:31:18 AM The cost is extremely high because it's a limited print run. If there were 2,000 made, the price would be much lower.

Title: Re: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: Duke.Togo on August 23, 2012, 05:48:48 PM Interesting idea, but the price is way out. For about the same price I'm getting Cheetahmen II: The Lost Levels and Cheetahmen: The Creation with a few goodies. I don't see this one making it.

Title: Re: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: thegnome on August 31, 2012, 11:30:25 PM Quote Finalize the book by obtaining the remaining copyright permissions (i.e. Nintendo) and making final touch-ups I'm pretty sure this has more to do with the price than anything else...

Title: Re: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: jcalder8 on September 02, 2012, 10:13:45 AM It looks cool but they don't have permission from Nintendo? Get that frist then do the kickstart
Title: Re: Pixel Perfect: Mike Tyson's Punch Out Encyclopedia Kickstarter Post by: DaveMMR on September 03, 2012, 09:25:46 AM IANAL but would he not also need Mike Tyson's permission as well?
