I want one of these, but I can’t justify 250 for a handheld when I already have an anbernic gbc clone.

And especially now that there’s the Funnyplaying FPGBC. The Analogue Pocket is super cool, I love the sleek design…but it’s just not worth the price, IMO.

All the scalping BS around them doesn’t help either

Already sold out, too.

Damn scalpers are a pox

I don’t begrudge a great product a solid price point. I hope they’re so successful that I can grab one used someday at a garage sale.

In the meantime, I’m most excited for how the Chinesium knock-offs are likely going to follow suit, and I’ll be able to get a clear neon Gameboy emulator clone soon.
