Yes. But as the people are, if it was 50$ nobody would buy. It's like an iphone, if it was a popular price nobody would buy it. Unfortunately. This console is a great thing, different of all. It deserve the price that it costs.
Think of it another way - you're investing in something that WILL ship and that will be a lovely surprise when it does finally drop through the letterbox!
@@aidenstanley7305 I've done the same thing with the Analogue Pocket. I ordered mine in December 2021 and I'm in fulfillment group c, which is some time in 2023. Like Panic, they also take payment at time of ordering but honestly I don't mind this because I know that when the time comes to ship I don't have a surprise bill and I can just sit back and wait for it to drop through my letterbox. Have to say as good as the Analogue pocket looks, I'm way more excited for the playdate.
Great video! I'm in group 2 and mine has shipped. Expected delivery date is between 1st and 5th July as I'm in the UK. I pre ordered as soon as they went live and I can't wait to get my hands on it! It just looks like pure fun. I might even try my hand at making a game for it 👍
Heck, I can't even get mine set up, been trying for 3 hours and nothing, it's not sending me the link for set up, nowhere to enter a pin, I'm stuck at registering the device and followed instructions, it says to enter the pin online but its' nowhere to be found, going in the garbage
Having it for about 3 weeks now how do you feel about owning the device? I'm curious about purchasing one it seems like a good idea but yet im still a bit hesitant...
Honestly, I'm really enjoying it. The games are great pick-up-and-play titles, so I tend to play it when I have a few free moments. Your mileage may vary, of course, but if you like simple games and the ability to side-load all sorts of indie stuff, then you might like it. Keep in mind that if you order now, you likely won't receive one until 2023. You can check out my other videos for more Playdate content. I've done reveal videos for all the Season 1 games that I've received, so far.
@@jluedtke thanks for the much needed input greatly appreciated think it was the last straw I needed (planning on pre-ordering for 2023 batch) have you tried the game making component that is really what I'm most interested in...
@@pokadot Hey! Sorry, I replied under my other account. :D Pulp is a really neat game-making program, and you can use it and test your games without owning a Playdate. You can try it out at play.date/pulp
cool but that almost as much as a switch lite which is honestly a way better use of money then that which you will probably use once and never again and for the price how hard would it be to add a fucking color screen. 180 bucks and its black and white
It's made for enthusiasts. The black and white screen is a very deliberate choice -- it comes with some interesting quirks, such as being very energy friendly and individual pixels not needing to be refreshed every frame. I got mine just now and it's a super cool little thing, although if you're not into indie games or have any interest in gamedev it might not be worth the money.
you should consider this is one of the most impressive ink displays and is basically an extremely impressive technology You should also understand this was not mass produced by a huge megacorporation but was made by a bunch of dudes like you
I think the price is fair, is a new system and it only cost 200 bucks, but for that price you can find a switch lite, but the switch doesn’t have much games free, and the play date literally give you every week 5 games, so actually is a fair options to use like when you are bored
In 2024 it's my birthday tomorrow and why is that so expensive I want that so much to just like a Game Boy but nothing is so tiny it's the world like $16
@@NickyKun”20$” bro don’t you know that it takes a lot of money to get CPUs storage and stuff like that not to mention the shell screen and especially the crank
![How useful is a Game Boy with a CRANK? [Playdate]](/img/n.gif)
This device is a treat for those who truly understand it
That screen is high res! Shame it lacks a backlight but then again the device is tiny. So easily pocketable. Great video thanks.
*Screams at you in California Games*
I m so happy to find this tutorial. It's working for me. Thank you for sharing
This looks awesome! Just not sure if its worth it’s price
Yes, original, cute, but definitely not worth the money
Worth it

not to mention doing the math it seems like they are making borderline no profit, truly a labor of love@@TEF84
I would love to be able to buy one, but it is not yet being sold to Brazil.
I want one, but it's too expensive and they take the money upfront and won't be delivering for a year if I order now
Think of it another way - you're investing in something that WILL ship and that will be a lovely surprise when it does finally drop through the letterbox!
@@aidenstanley7305 will ship next year, maybe they should wait till next year to take my money.

I just ordered mine today and look forward to play it hopefully the Playdate won't take years to arrive.

Poor thing.
It’s an amazing little device ❤
I WANT THE PLAYDATE!!
Awesome unboxing!
Thank you very much for clarification I must try this

Actually useful
The price should have been lower considering the screen is not backlit
you should consider this is one of the most impressive ink displays and is basically an extremely impressive technology
You should also understand this was not mass produced by a huge megacorporation but was made by a bunch of dudes like you
@@aquaponieeestay mad
@@aquaponieee The display isn't e-ink, it's Sharp Memory LCD.

Lol i saw this video while i was playing on my game and watch zelda
I'm stuck with a pre order meant to come out in early 2023, which is soon, so that's ok I guess...
In 2024 it's my birthday tomorrow and why is that so expensive I want that so much to just like a Game Boy but nothing is so tiny it's the world like $16
Camera missing ❤🎉
Someone made a camera for playdate.
Playdate is basically Game Boy but in 2024
Крутая штука
Yes it is

I wasn't really a fan of ASMR until watching (erm, listening?) to this video. But now I'm convinced.
🙌🙌🙌
The playdate is cool it has 400 games l guess
I don't want to make an account and send usage metrics just to play on what's essentially a gimmicky game boy, sorry
Yes, original, cute, but definitely not worth the money
LAWSUIT
The knockoff game boy that not even Nintendo knows about
I’ll just stick with my Switch
this is not meant to be a switch replaceament
I own both and use them equally as much
