Doubt it will happen anytime soon. This one is on sale because Apple doesn't use lightning any longer on its phones. The "android " one is the iOS one now also.

Pretty much can't pass it up at this price, although that means I have to set foot into a Costco at Christmas time...

I keep hoping the android version will pop up for this price. My first gen Kishi is on its last leg.

I'm not sure if anybody had mentioned this since I didn't check all of the pages but I had to return mine since my 14 pro max would not fit flush with the backbone even with the adaptor. The lenses on the phone don't clear the back.
Glad you said it because I was going to try and find this deal. But it clearly won't work for my phone then :/

no point without usb-c. most iphone owners will upgrade in a yr or 2 from iphone 14.
Very worth it being valued at $5 for a controller considering I will be using the $25 gift card to purchase spiderman 2. Even if I use it for 6 months, 1 or 2 years. It's $5

They never emailed me the PlayStation gift card, and it's not in the box or anything. How you guys don't get ripped off too.

They send it to you when you set up the device. The first one I had to create an account. The 2nd and 3rd all I did was put my phone on them and I got an email and text with the claim codes instantly.

I reckon Android version is more popular and sells since its userbase is more competent with sourcing and placing Roms in a directory vs whatever walled garden bs Apple has.
You really want a cookie for placing Roms in a directory?

I returned mine as I had a previous lifetime Backbone account so no GC for me…

Idk what a lifetime account is, but everybody gets the gift card. It's not a sign up bonus, it's part of the Costco bundle.

Quote from Chris2 :
Just bought the last one from my store, which appears to be an opened return. No code for me since it was previously registered, big surprise. I put a ticket in with backbone CS and they asked for some info, so hopefully they can issue me a code.

Pretty low of the first buyer to pull a scam like that at the returns desk. If you're going to do it, at least say it's defective so it doesn't go back to the shelf.
Was it not shrink wrapped? I got the code after registering and it was in my spam folder

It's the backbone for $30 and also the $25 PS credit. So you essentially get the backbone for $5. Yes an absolute no-brainer :-)
Nice! Sadly I was just as Costco the day before and no doubt after the cristmas rush it's sold out now.

It was before they created the paid version of accounts (2021?), everyone with accounts before said date never had to pay for the + account again.

Oh well, already went back to Costco so not worried as I didn't have a PS anyways

Instacart has it for $37 Costco. Plus save an extra $20. Total still comes to 35 after all fees and a $5 tip
