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.

If you plan on going to Costco, note Christmas Eve hours are 8:30am-5pm at most locations.
Checked instacart for stock this morning so I'll be battling the instacart drivers for this item when the store opens.

Just opened one of the Backbones I got a few days ago and I can see why they don't advertise on the box that this works with Steam Link.

Even with a 1GBPS connection, it stinks. It's unplayable.

And this wasn't with a demanding game, I was playing Brotato.

Hopefully won't be this terrible with Gamepass and PS Remote Play

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

It comes to your email once you set up the backbone.

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.
I got the email by backbone with a code. Did you complete registration?

I use my Android Backbone with PS Remote Play and it works great (most of the time).

Remember, this is just a gamepad. The phone's network connection is separate from this device.

Oof, feel kind of dumb for buying the $50 FP online deal from a week ago now. Can't imagine they'll do a price adjustment since this is in store only either. Guess I could buy it in-store and do a return online?

I picked one up at the Noblesville, Indiana store last night. They had a lot of them at $29.97. Cancelled the $49 off their website in store
