  Ah yes, each more sold out than the last.

  I wish it was a bit more affordable.

    The original GameBoy went for ~$90 retail when it first launched, which is worth ~$220 once you adjust for inflation from 1989. All things considered, a $250 price point is about on par with what people are willing to pay for a handheld. Especially once you consider the fact that this is a relatively small business, and not the gaming powerhouse that Nintendo was when they launched the GameBoy. Nintendo had way more negotiating power against manufacturers, because they knew that they’d be selling hundreds of thousands, not just hundreds.

    Yea I never understood the appeal. You can get a steam deck with retroarch for just a little bit more. Like how many OG gameboy games are people still playing.

      It's a preservation thing and a collectors item. As the hardware ages and begins to die, playing the games "as they were originally intended" becomes more and more inaccessible.

    I just grabbed a miyoo mini + the other day. It’s super nice, and much cheaper.

      Miyoo/Anbernic present a much better option.

  The screen on these is super nice. Are they worth buying if you’re only going to use roms?

  If you don’t get one, what device has the next nicest screen?

  I was lucky enough to get one of the transparent red ones from the second round of limited editions, but the new red one looks gorgeous as well.
