180 dollars (plus shipping) is more than it'd cost for a modified gameboy plus a flashcart, and is near the price of an Analogue. The Analogue can play any gameboy (and advance) game every made, and is also a musical instrument.

If this was around 80$ I would be all over it.

You're not wrong, but neither of those devices come with any games (unless you buy a flashcart, which is piracy).

The Playdate cost includes 20 games by (relatively) well known indie game developers.

Piracy is competition.

Not really. I've got like 5 or 6 ways I can play Game Boy games now, I don't need another device for it. There's no other way I can play these games, so it's a new experience for me.

I’d kill to finally get me an Analogue product, they’re always out of stock whenever I try. :(

It is about $80. The subscription that will make it useful is the other $100 which is what you'll be paying annually to keep using it.
