Hey Everyone, we have a big sale planned for this Friday, Black Friday, through Cyber Monday, next Monday (11/27 - 11/30). This will be the best sale for the rest of the year on Falcons, so if you have been eyeing getting a Falcon in general, or getting one for the holidays, now is the time to do it!
The Falcon bundle (including the Falcon, pistol grip, Penumbra Overture, and the Orange Box) will retail for...
wait for it...
$99
yes, you heard me right ;) It's our biggest sale ever (while supplies last!) - we're finding that every Falcon that ends up in someone's hands leads to more Falcons being bought by their friends and family from the great word of mouth we get after people try the Falcon, so we're really pushing the envelope for this sale, to get a bunch of Falcons out over the holidays, leading into 2010, and really spur the great word of mouth we're finding we get. Please take advantage of the concept, and give the Falcon a spin.
View the details for the deal here (note that the $99 sale pricing won't be reflected until this Friday, so wait until then to get the deal)

It's likely going to be a very long time before you see the Falcon at that price again.
There's more good news for Black Friday...
we're doing one of our biggest software releases as well, with a good holiday discount too. Check out the link above on Black Friday to see what the deal is ;)
Novint has a 30 day money back guarantee, for those of you not familiar with the Falcon and want to try it out

We also have a great referral program. When people get a Falcon they love it. Then they tell their friends. Why not get some extra $$$ for your referrals, to pay off those holiday credit card bills, when your friends pick up a Falcon after playing with yours ;)

We just held a contest pitting the Falcon against the mouse in Team Fortress 2, a very popular online First Person Shooter. Few people doubt that the Falcon dramatically improves the experience and immersion of gaming, especially when reading reviews and customer feedback. In the recent contest, however, the Falcon team went 6 and 2 against mouse based teams, which proves that the Falcon can be used very effectively in online multiplayer gaming as well. Way to go Falconers!!!
Here's a video of the Falcon in FPS games

There are many other genres supported as well.
Finally, one of the most exciting things happening at Novint is our upcoming release of our F-Gen drivers. The F-Gen drivers will allow the Falcon to be used to play any PC game! This is huge for us. We'll still have more of our FalconHD (i.e. hi-def) titles, but F-Gen will allow you to play any of your favorite games with the Falcon. The F-Gen beta version of the drivers will be out before the end of the year.
as always, I answer any questions people have on our message boards, so feel free to post there, or in the comments here on our blog. Perhaps the best way to evaluate the Falcon, is to search the web, and see what actual Falcon users are saying. People that have one almost universally love it and find that it fundamentally changes how they play games. We also have one of the best communities you'll find - a great group of people to interact with, and we want to continue to see it grow :)
thx all,
tomnovint, ceo

I was promised one from my gaming clan, eGO and when it arrives, I'm sure I'll be tickled pink.
ReplyDeleteGood job Novint! Keep up the good work.
Peace and safe holidays. I want to wish all of you a prosperous new year.

I have a question.
ReplyDeleteI really want to buy this bundle (and probably will), but seeing as I already have the orange box in my steam account, I was wondering if I would be able to gift it to somebody else?
Haven't heard about this sale on any of the gaming websites I frequent. This deal is a great opportunity to get more falcons in the hands of more players and increase the user-base.
ReplyDeleteRight now it kind of sounds like the knowledge of this sale is limited to those who already own Falcons or who actively follow your company. I hope that's not the case, because it'd be a wasted opportunity! One of the greatest limiting factors for gamers seems to be the high price tag, but at $100 many might very well be convinced to take the plunge.
Tom, you should look into getting in touch with some popular gaming blogs, if you haven't done so already. I know Kotaku/Gizmodo and Joystiq receive a huge amount of daily traffic and have been actively promoting Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. Getting a picture of the Falcon on the top of one of those pages might help boost sales and create some needed buzz around the Falcon.

ReplyDeletethanks John

No problem Tom, just trying to help out. Unfortunately I'd say I'm a little late to the dance, as the sale ends tomorrow. Just thought it'd be a good way to get some free advertising, since the fact that it's a sale would give such sites a reason to put up an article about the Falcon, or at least mention it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you manage a Facebook page? I've noticed businesses taking advantage of Facebook to directly communicate with their consumers, much like you do on the Steam forums. Might be worth looking into.
