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 tried instacart trial deal on this, my shopper didn't begin until 11am so they were soldout already and canceled, but got roped into a delivery still because minimum order is $35. gg Costco.
That sucks. I almost never get these slickdeals on video games, always sold out by the time I see the deal. Got lucky this time, just wish it was something I really needed. Too good of a deal to pass up on that Xbox

If I don't own any console , is this any good? I have no plans to buy a console ,wondering whether this would be a good buy sans console.

Try it with a cloud gaming service, like Amazon Luna, Xbox Game Pass Cloud, PS Play. Or just use it for native iPhone games that support controllers.

you get the code to your email when you activate the backbone -- no need to have a PS to claim it

My local stores have it for $29 but none available. I ordered it online hoping they will match. If not, I'll return it.

Is that confirmed working? I wouldn't put it past Apple to do something to make incompatable.
