64 GB Version is $54.99 but you can get 5% off with code HANDHELDGAMING Will you be getting one? For me i’m not so sure it kinda looks goofy. I know the bottom part is a sticker, I just hope it’s not pasted on the device when you get it, then I might consider buying it.

    REMINISCENCE across the bottom kills me 😆

    Device itself look okay, but I struggle to pick anything up until I know for a fact that the CFW scene is going to be robust and worthwhile. Once I know what kind of firmware I’ll be rocking and that it’ll be supported by the community I’m a thousand times more likely to grab one. Until then it’s just the waiting game.

      I have an R36S which looks like the same form factor, and it is pretty uncomfortable all around. It is really small, and my fingers overlap behind the console when holding it. The shoulder buttons aren’t the worst I have ever used, but trying to use thumbsticks means holding it in a way that makes me feel like I will easily drop it.

      I don’t know if this is just because I have large hands / long fingers, but I personally find myself wishing for a PSP or GBA form factor instead, simply for comfort. Actually, even a GPD XD form factor would be really nice, but I doubt I could see something like that for the same price of $40 USD.

      I’m going to wait for some reviews, they indeed look weird with the analog sticks.

    Since I have an R36S already, I won’t be getting this. It is basically the same form factor and supports the same emulated consoles. Plus that only cost me $40 USD, which is ~$15 less than the PowKiddy?

    If this was a PSP or GBA form factor, small enough to fit in my pocket, I would consider it. Might be good for someone that does not have a handheld and doesnt want to break the bank.
