ANNOUNCEMENT (AUGUST 05, 2008)
WAY TO GO YOU JERKS. No confirmed orders yet :[
But I'm putting up EVEN MORE deals!
BETA discount - By agreeing to provide us with vital insight regarding
how we can improve our products and service, I am offering $50 off any
GIGANAUT dance pad in exchange for:
-Report upon Delivery: First impression, feel, packaging, service, etc
-Report after three months of use: how is it breaking in? Any problems?
-Report after two years: is it still working? What kind of mods and maintenance have you done?
CONTROL BOX discount - The purchase of any DTG Control Box with
your pad will earn you a $20 discount. (I still need to update the site
with Control Box listings)
LOCAL PICKUP discount - pick your pad
up in Portland, OR and you'll not only potentially save on shipping (if
you live within 100 miles or so, I recommend you take the time to come
by), we'll also let you play a few games on your pad before you haul it
off, to be absolutely sure that it's the pad for you. If you don't
like it, we'll find someone else to sell it to.
PREPAID discount - trusting someone with your money is a risky
business, which we respect, even dealing with "secure" methods like
Paypal. Unfortunately, we can't afford to take that risk out of your
purchase for the time being. When you prepay $80 for the price of
materials, we'll put you at the top of our waiting list, take another
$80 off your purchase, and you'll have the comfort of knowing that
you're playing a vital part in helping us grow. Not only that; if you
have any problem with the pad, we will refund you $200; $20 more than
what you pay.
KUMORICON Special has been extended to August 23rd.
It's getting late here, but I'll be rebuilding the merchandise page tomorrow if I have time.

ANNOUNCEMENT (July 02, 2008)
The GIGANAUT has been available for about 3 hours and 15 minutes now. Be aware that this pad does not currently come with a DTG Control Box, so you should be prepared to attach your pad to your own controller. You may order a control box either attached or detachable to your specifications when you email me at THATLATU@GMAIL.COM to inquire regarding your GIGANAUT or Custom Home Entertainment Cabinet. If you want to lower the price even more than the Special Deals listed below, please let me know!
