This new $400 yoyo that duncan are releasing isn't really designed for 'serious yoyo'ers', duncan made it purely so they could get lots of publicity (just like this article) for having the worlds most expensive retail yoyo. (and probably a world record aswell) They probably will produce just enough to give one to each of their competition team members, and enought that all the hardkore yoyo collectors to buy.
A few other notes: all the major freestyle competition winners have used yoyo's such as duncans freehand1's (no longer in production) yoyojam hitmans's, yoyojam nightmoves etc etc - all yoyo's ranging from around 20-40bucks. The most expensive yoyo's that any actual player would buy would probably be Dif-e-yo's (www.difeyo.com) - they are very very nice
People keep saying that we wont have IDE compatible computers 20 years down the track - but if you are backing up all your data onto IDE drives - then just keep a computer thats IDE compatible for 20 years too and you'll ALWAYS have a comptuer to play them with. Chuck a dvd burner or something like that into it and even if IDE doesn't exist in the future - you can still get the data out.
And its not like its being put onto drived then forgotten for 20 years either - if in 10 years when Micro$soft are running the universe and they decide to abolish IDE drives - then just copy all the data onto the new format and everyone's happy
