Thank you everyone! RetroTap launch day was a success. There was only a brief site crash after 11 AM EDT but it recovered and held strong for the remainder of the day. Inventory planning was based on feedback and presales. Some interesting trends and lessons: 1/6

Email went down, blocked by the provider due to the volume spike, around 11:30 AM. This was resolved in less than 30 minutes. If you did not receive an order confirmation email reach out: kytor.com/store/contact/ 2/6

I expected a significantly larger percentage of people to use the PS2 Slim PSU. This tells a story where early adopters / presales lean heavily towards the PS2 Slim PSU, but release day customers did not. 3/6

Mean Well PSUs sold at about double the expected rate. I will address this for the next batch. The quotes I am getting back from the vendor have a hefty price increase but I am fighting back to try and keep this down. More to come, I want to avoid a price increase if I can. 4/6

Atari 2600 cables which sold well during presales sold slowly at release. Meanwhile, the inverse occurred with TurboDuo cables which sold very poorly during presales. These sold strong during release. In fact the 6 ft sold out! I was not expecting that. 5/6

Now the focus turns to shipping orders; please allow up to two weeks. The next batch is approximately 6 weeks away. 6/6

I will say I didn't see the Atari cables under the additional item suggestions under the main listing, I had to go to another store page to grab one. I almost missed it!
