I've been invited to purchase Google Glass, but...

It's $1,500! Really? I expected $500 at most.

Do you really want to walk around looking like a dipshit?

For the sake of being able to shout "ITS OVER 9000!!" randomly hell yeah....

I also like to pretend that im a 'Unisol' during weekends...

I've already tried it and was impressed, but no, not that fashion statement for $1500

maybe if it has the terminator hud overlay...

When asked to buy something, particularly that expensive, it's more a hard sell than an invite. Were you asked to test a beta version, now THAT would be an invite.

Yes, and it literally said "invite". No thanks.

I checked eBay for kicks and people are already selling their "invite" codes, lol.

Remember what happened to Microsoft when they tried to sell something at a superbly inflated price?
Google clearly thinks there is a minuscule market to put a price that high on something like that. I'd rather invest in Oculus Rift and buy an all singing all dancing phone/tablet, and probably STILL have money left over.

ste2425 · Feb 24, 2014

Buy it, sell it for more. Buy E-Type with money made. Spend next 10 years restoring said E-Type. Be happy.

strange statment from techpowerup member.
and as for ruskisnijper, every one who want to know some information about you already does...

Gosh they look heavy and irritating... a miss!

Sasqui · Feb 28, 2014

If the price was right I'd definitely go for it. I've already had the opportunity to try them and there really are a ton of useful possibilities... useless ones too.

DRDNA · Feb 28, 2014

It might be a good investment if you got it and didn't open it and then in 20 years it may be worth lots.

I have an original Sony Walkman, the mini version, metal case and all, no box or anything though. Loved the thing and wonder what it's worth now.

Not much. Millions of them were made and now it is obsolete. Only museums would be interested and they wouldn't be willing to spend much. If these Google Glass devices are serialized, they could skyrocket in value because of the publicity they got, the brand (Google doesn't make much hardware), and the limited availability.
