The last I reported on the Gamestick was that within 30 hours of launching their campaign they had reached their $100,000 campaign goal via the Kickstarter service. But as they still have a lot of time left to let people back the project they have pushed forward and with 22 days left to go they have raised just over $300,000 The team behind the console (Playjam) have announced a number of new stretch goals for certain overall milestones which will mean bonus goodies for the console that may not have originally been included.
At $320,000
The console will be made available in both Black and White
Past $450,000
There will also be an additional colour which has yet to be decided buy will be chosen by a vote on the GameStick’s official Facebook page HERE.
At the $560,000 Milestone
While the GameStick provides cloud storage for games, apparently fans have been requesting additional memory options so that more content can be carried when on the move. At this milestone, they will include a MicroSD slot to facilitate this.
Anthony Johnson | CMO of Playjam
We have been inundated with messages of support and suggestions on how to improve GameStick fromboth the gamers & developers worldwidewho backed our project. Being at the pre-production phase, we have been able to incorporate a lot of these ideas into our roadmap. We were not prepared for that level of input but it has been fantastic.
Kickstarter is proving to be a wild ride for the team behind GameStick. Hitting our original target so early goes to show appetite out there for continued innovation around affordable gaming on the big screen. We want to see how far we can go with this and hope that all those who have pledged will help spread the word to see just how far we can go!
