Russ (RetroGameCorps) is one of my guilty pleasures. I eagerly await his videos.

Does anyone have any problems with me posting links to his videos here? I will also summarize some of his findings, unless, again, anyone has a problem with it.

Any suggestions? This seems ok? You’d prefer this was done in a different method?

I’m just trying to keep this community active. I haven’t yet found a good replacement for SBC Gaming from the Old Place. I’m on this magazine, and several others regarding retro handhelds, but I still don’t get as much info as before the Old Place went bad. I’m not saying to go back there now, as it already feels like a ghost town. There are so many odd posts there now, I don’t even know if it is from bots or what.

If people are ok with this idea, I can definitely post links to videos from some of my favorite retro people, like Russ, but also ETA Prime, The Phawx, maybe a few others.

What do you all think?

Russ has been leaving vague comments regarding T618's over the last few weeks. In this most recent video, which directly discusses his favorite T618, he only mentions that he isn't sure if it is still the value king any more. He does not give a replacement. The widening of devices (particularly in the massive amount of new SKUs in the super high-end price point) might mean that it takes a bit for things to settle.

I'm not as smart as Russ or any of those big reviewers (like Phawx, ETA, etc), but I suspect the next value king will not be a T618, just because we already have amazing devices and price points for those.
