I've been interested in this for a while, good to see its finally getting some updates at last. Its a pretty steep price to pay at $179, which would be around £125, plus there is tax and shipping to the UK to consider on top of that too. Hopefully the price comes down at some point, since they outright said that covid and whatnot have increased the price more than they liked, but you are getting a free 24 games in that price too so...
The little dock is neat though. The whole device is neat, absolutely love its concept. I might get one, but it is unlikely to be right at launch cus of the price. Maybe when it goes down it'll be more appealing and have a larger library that we will know if its good or not over time.
I also hope the pricing for any subsequent waves isn't too steep either. ESPECIALLY since you never know if each game you get per week is actually any good or not, it seems to be a lot of money thrown at a neat little device with some potentially great games with cool twists.
