I got an email this morning saying the sale went live on Anbernic's website. Anyone picking one up? I'm still on the fence about it. Not sure if I'd rather go for that or the funkey s.

IDK, seems a bit pricey for something I'd end up viewing as a novelty item.

I was considering getting it as a nice working keychain for my backpack, but it's way too expensive for me to consider it.

Just looked it up. Damn that thing is expensive. I see it more as a collectors thing than being actually useful. Can’t imagine actually enjoy playing on such a tiny thing. Already thought my RG351M is small, but this… As a kid I would have loved it, but now my eyes start to hurt only thinking about playing on it.

Maybe I will, but not now

Very cool, but how would you play that thing without destroying your fingers? I can only use the Mini + for about 45 minutes…

I'm most looking for something small that I can chuck in my pocket without having a major foot print. Mostly just something small for gb and gbc. Couldn't imagine using it for long term. Big fan of my Rg35xx

I ordered one. It'll mostly be a novelty I'm sure but I also own a Powkiddy A66 that I play often because I take it everywhere I go. This could be a replacement for that. We'll see, I'll update once it's received.

Oh nice! I'm thinking I'll order one after my q36 comes in the mail. I'm trying to not to amass too many handhelds all at once.

I had a trimui that I loved for the same reason, I think it got lost in my most recent move.

Right on! Seems like it would be good for games you can play one-handed.

Too much pricey for a little gimmick
