      I agree. Pretty stupid move with the facebook page. I never saw it until it was too late. The dark grey one looked much better. Green? GREEN!?!?!?!

      It's safe to say you didn't get a very accurate vote. What was your total votes versus on Kickstarter backers?

      Also, did you guys die or something? Where the heck you at?

      The KickStarter colour is really ugly compared to the gun metal one. Why on earth was this on facebook not on KS? I had no clue about the voting until I came to fill in the survey.

      Creator Eric Yew on February 13

      Why wasn't the voting announced here? I don't use facebook. Now I can't vote for the Gun Metal color. Wh

      What email? I realize voting was on Facebook, but seriously-- announcing the Kickstarter color should be a Kickstarter update.

      @Stephanie - that one is posted on the Facebook page (There's a link in the email). It is black with green buttons -- kind of looks like the color scheme on the old XBox controllers :-)

    9. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Stephanie Bryant on February 12

      So... what's the KS Backer-only color? The survey has it as an option, but I have no idea what it is. Please update us so we know!

      Hey guys, I just wanted to clarify one thing on the recent email. When you ask us to specify anything extra that we paid for, does that include all of the accessories for our individual pledge? For example, if I pledged for a gamestick, case, and dock bundle, should I put case and dock in that section? Thanks!

      @Zane - We're all hoping that those who pledged $69 or more can have a "Kickstarter Special Edition" as an option for their color, but Gamestick has not responded to that request yet, I don't think.

      do we get something for exceeding the goal?

      @raphael kahn The gamestick (stick) will have a microSD slot, the optional dock will have an SD slot. The official announcements have mentioned 8(internal) + 32(microSD) + 64(SD) = 105GB usable for games. Presumably we will also be able to play media from usb drives plugged into the dock.

      Creator Neil Dyson on February 2

      @raphael kahn The gamestick hit that target a while ago and will come with a Micro SD, in 4 colours (one was voteable for on Facebook)

    22. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator raphael kahn on February 1

      will the game stick and or controller have micro SD card slot?

      Wow congratulations GameStick. I have been watching this thing for the past 3 weeks and I am amazed at the result. I am excited and looking forward to the next few months. :-)

      Creator Lily Vi Nguyen on February 1

      So... will the Kickstarter Special Edition be an option to backers who pledged $69 or more, considering that we raised over $85,000 more than the last stretch goal? Plus, so many of use seem to be interested in this. :)

      It seems odd now that on the first day of the kickstarter I was worried about whether or not the goal will be met (kept refreshing the page to check).

      Well done, I can't wait to see the finished result.
