TDIRunner | 2,742 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I'm good with the model I have, so I can easily pass on this one. Good luck to those going for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Interesting Analogue posted on Twitter that they partnered with Route cut domestic shipping costs by 30-50% which is excellent Edited August 28, 2023 by a3quit4s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,707 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Finally got my Analogue pocket. Not too bad for a 2022 delivery promise I’m too patient of a person to be upset. This thing rules! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 That is great, they'll charge actual normal shipping prices finally. I wonder how this will be accepted(the new variant) once the thrill wears off. There has been a large QC slide from the pre-pocket days with them given the comments seen here, various other forums I'm on, etc with this system. It makes the cynic think perhaps it is a PR stunt to change the narative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt it but I wonder if they are refunding people back half their shipping costs for things that are pre-ordered and haven’t shipped yet. That would be a good thing to do given how long people have waited for products. I paid $34 for shipping to the states for my Duo for reference.

I wasn't amused on the pocket when I did have it on the shipping costs as they were like twice what competitors would have charged me to ship to them as a private person, as companies tend to get shipping contracts with discounts. It made me wonder where all that added money went, hidden handling to pocket it? Bad contract and they were at a loss? It just was weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I wonder how long the glow in the dark pocket lasted. I forgot about it and they were already sold out by the time I thought to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course eBay sold listings is blowing up with them selling for like almost $500 when the seller doesn’t even have them in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I didn't remember to look until almost 1 pm and they were sold out then so I figured they went quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually saw that, but I'll probably just stick to playing my Game Boy games on my Super NT with the Super Game Boy. That works fairly well outside of not being portable.

Perfect choice if you're using real carts or at least a real flash kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm at the age where I'd just rather play my Game Boy games on the couch on the big screen instead of straining my eyes on a portable screen for an extended period of time.

Makes sense, my eyes haven't failed yet, but if I get tired super tiny print like you see on the rear of a blu ray gets challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wearing contacts since my mid teens so eye strain is a legit issue for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
