I've wanted one of these for a while, but thought software support etc may not make it worth it, but this just looks too good.

oh ****! that is the best LCD i've seen. Unfortunately, we live in NZ where we cant get anything like that. Even if we do our currency is still crap against the US$ and shipping costs will be bloody high.

That looks sweet, makes me want one, but the cost :(

What about if everyone that wated them did one big order, that way shipping might be a bit less and maby we would get a bulk discount

I probley wouldent be able to pay out enough for one of them thow

I've seen one used in a project at uni, might make some inquiries.

a mass import could be worth investigating, especially when you have a look at some of the preview pics for powerlcd 2.0 (http://www.dutchgamerz.net/powerlcd/pages/gallery.html)

the game stats things certainly look cool!

EIO.com has lots of them, fairly well priced at US $50 for a 320x200 unit with powerLCD supported chip.

Somone wanna volunteer to email them about shipping? They might be nice enough to send them via normal US post which would cost about 20 times less than UPS or FedEx.

They're actually pretty easy to hook up, especially if you just use some header pins instead of soldering everything
