Anyone seen this thing yet?

Looks kinda neat

Playdate. A New Handheld Gaming System

It’s yellow. It fits in your pocket. It’s got a beautiful black and white screen. Playdate from Panic is coming soon.

Not sure how durable that crank thing is going to be

I've always said the only thing game controllers are missing is a crank.

That’s the teenage engineering collaboration? Looks interesting. I thought it sold out?

Teenage engineering designs are so damn good. Heard about this a while back as a far fetched concept. Didn't know it is gonna be a thing.

Seems like a fun little thing. Not a serious game console. Probably be fun to kill a little time with.

It’s clearly not for everyone. I think it’s a neat idea.

I don't need to pay 150 bucks to crank it to a video game

The novelty, simple games. It’d be awesome if the knocked it out of the park with battery life.

They’ve not done a presale yet, there is hope they’ll do an open presale and release at least that many units but there’s no real way of knowing. These will definitely sell out quick otherwise :|
