minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·8 months agoI like the concept of the playdate. I even like the little gimmicky crank. I don’t like the non-backlit screen. And the price is a deal breaking barrier to entry for me. Make this thing $60, and put a decent color screen on it, and I’m sold.
minus-squareABCDE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·8 months agoBlack and white (or whatever colour) with backlight is fine. If I can buy an Anbernic or whatever the buggery for <$50, this can be not much more.
minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·8 months agoIf 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.
