If I recall correctly, the playdate was $250 a year ago. Not sure if it's the same price today. But that was enough to stop my purchade a year ago.
$199 now. Still seems a bit overpriced.
Ufff, why would you buy one of these instead of a r36s or similar
Because they are different devices serving different purposes. The r36s is a portable emulator that'll run games from different consoles; the playdate is a portable console that runs games made specifically for the playdate.
