We had a small booth at the Vintage Computer Festival last weekend (actually the largest booth there since its a grassroots venue). Anway, here's are a couple links so you can see more Hydra media, the packaging, and book can be seen if you look closely.

I would have sold about 50 of them if I had them to sell considering I sold 20 XGS units.
Anyway,
has a booth, can you post it somewhere? Arghh, I would have had so much fun!
Good shots. Nice game setups. Would of loved to been there to see the unit, games and book. Almost didn't see the book; nice looking 'book holder' too.
Thanks for a look-see. Waiting for the book, myself.

Anyway, the book turned out really well, I am very happy with it. Of all the books I have written its defintely in my top favorites along with tricks, black art, game console, and tricks 3d.

METROID?
Metroid Classic
Sorry I can't get over that name.
But anyway, I'm glad people took interest in it.
I really like the box artwork, It reminds me of when I was a kid.
Our production team is just about ready to kit up the Hydra Game Stations, and they've promised them on Friday! Everything is in stock at Parallax. Looks like the retail will be $249 for the kit. Though we wish it could be $199, this is too thin for this hardware and documentation-packed product.
This means you could probably get one before Thanksgiving holiday should you desire. The book is an amazing product on its own and will also be available with CD-ROM for around $60.
The official word on availability will come from Lauren, our Marketing Manager.

Since you've made the unofficial announcement and I will be out of town sans computer beginning Friday, I've posted the Hydra version of the OS on the Propeller OS Update thread <http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&m=154815>. People now have yet another reason to buy a Hydra Game Station for Thanksgiving and beyond.

Look at Sony's new PlayStation 3.
Apparently it isn't backwardly compatible with older PlayStation game programs.
Now that is expensive!
At least with the Hydra, making and sharing the games is going to be fun-- not a hefty additional cost.
