Mass-Produced NESp

Well, today I started work on the design and prototype for a mass-produced NESp. Features:
-Vacum-Formed Case
-A 72-pin neofami
-Will have a hipscreen (possibly with an Led mod)
-Will use 4 AA alkaline batteries (not rechargable)
-Will use smaller speakers than the Hipscreen ones
-Will have A/V out
-Will have A/C adapter port
-Will have external Controller inputs
-Will be slightly bigger than an orignal GBA
Note: this is all for the standard version.

The cost will probably be about $50-70 if you provide a screen and Neofami. That price will include the other parts that I need, but not shipping. There will be the following options for about the prices in parenthases:
-A/V in ($5)
-Switchable 5th battery allowing for use of rechargables ($7)
-Built-in battery charger ($5)
-Custom case colors (depends)
-I provide Neofami and Hipscreen ($60-75)

I will probably be done with a first prototype by the end of my christmas break. Production will probably start soon after that. The prototype will take that long because I have to make a vacum former, case molds and I have to design the circuitry.

Also, just out of curiousity, is anyone interested in this, or should I just make one for myself.

I think most of the people here are interested in making there own portables. If you want to market a product, I'd make a working one first so you know how much it is going to cost then post it on NES forums and ebay.

EDIT: By having a working model, people are more likely to spend money on something they can (at least virtually) see.

Are you talking about the regular NESp, or the NESp Mini. The mini's are sweet. I'm definently making one of those babies!

it'll probably be just a little bigger than the original GBA
