I've known about bigfoot for over a year.They presented their business pitch to a MBA - High tech strategy class at UT (Austin). That was some time before they even got their first round of financing.The comment from Happysin about the server-class NIC is spot-on, the guys even said that that's where they got the idea.After they finished the presentation and left the classroom, the professor and most of the class commented it wasn't a solid business idea. Even leaving the technical issues aside all their market estimates were based on the assumption that they would get great reviews and some sort of editor's choice award from Tom's hardware and similar sites.The pitch was basically...1. Introduce the product because a small number of enthusiasts will spend a ton of money on overpriced items.2. Market research shows that a good review gets you x number of sales.3. After we get glowing reviews we'll sell x amount of cards= profit!!!
