Quick answer
TRIMUI has increased the minimum retail price of the Brick Hammer Pro U gaming console to $249.99 due to rising material costs, sparking user dissatisfaction as competitors offer more powerful devices at similar prices.
TRIMUI, a manufacturer of portable gaming devices, has announced a significant increase in the minimum retail price of its new Brick Hammer Pro U console. The device will now retail for no less than $249.99, up by $50–$100 from initial announcements. The company cites rising raw material costs as the reason for the price adjustment, which has led to new pricing restrictions for all retailers.
Users who pre-ordered the device at the old price ($135.99 or $159.99) received emails offering options to pay the difference, switch to the cheaper plastic Brick Pro version, or cancel the order with a full refund. One retailer, GoGameGeek, negotiated a special price of $212.49 with TRIMUI, but this remains an exception to the rule.
Sales of the Brick Hammer Pro U are scheduled to begin on July 30, though experts already question the device's competitiveness. For instance, the recently released Retroid Pocket Nova, featuring an AMOLED screen and more powerful hardware, starts at $229, and AYANEO Pocket Micro 2 is expected to launch soon with potentially better specifications for a similar price.
