For those wondering, this is in the Dreamcast/N64/PSP performance class.
This isn't really a great deal at all. This unit has been at this price range on average. I noticed this store is purposely bumping up the price to make you think $15 off is a deal. For example their TrimUi Brick is over priced as well compared to other stores. Still decent for whoever wants it, but just wanted everyone to know that the TrimUi Brick has a MUCH more premium build and feel with same performance. The Brick's software performance is probably better due to all the amazing new OS' that recently launched for this beautiful unit. The two don't feel like they're made from the same company, but they are.
This is probably the best price you'll be able to get, for a long time. Basically, any deal on Aliexpress is actually an awesome deal, looking at the future.

On top of the major tariff headlines, many people may have missed the datail about the "De Minimis" exemption which applies to all purchases from Aliexpress - now ending in a few weeks. I'm sure Aliexpress will find a way to reduce the cost from this (US distribution warehouses, other supply chain adjustments?), but the fee is $25 minimum per item! Whatever you're thinking about buying on this site should be purchased ASAP. You may not be able to get these prices again after this month. Take advantage while you can, IMO.

Anbernic, Powkiddy, and Miyoo are all running various promotions also, and coupon codes are available. You can use "newusoff10" for $10 off on orders over $40, just use a new email address. There is also a $6 off $59 coupon. Basically, you can get any of these handhelds for around $50 right now. Just make sure you're buying from a reputable seller. (none of these codes will stack with the Trimui deal, it has a better coupon)

If you're new to this (as I was a few months ago) I recommend checking out "Retro Game Corps". He has really great videos on Youtube, and a website with written guides and reviews. A serious wealth of knowledge. Seems to be unbiased in general, not a paid sponsor. His review on this one:

Quote from Cheapskate27 :
I think the argument is that it's NOT in the PSP Dreamcast N64 class, because performance isn't solid with those consoles. It's just semantics, but I would agree. It's in the NES/SNES/Genesis performance classes (with ability to upscale image, add filters and shaders). It can handle a few PSP and Dreamcast games, and many/most PS1 N64 games, but way less wiggle room to make it look the way you want.

In short, you need to spend at least $100 to be in the PSP Dreamcast class (if there's a good cheaper one - I'd love to know about it!). This device is not sufficient, if PSP and Dreamcast are your goals.
Except even in your comment, you're not providing a strong argument for why what I said was incorrect.

There's a difference between providing nuance while lacking tact and being a contrarian simply for the sake of argument.

It's not semantics at all.

The reviews I looked at said they were able to get games from those systems to run. Which, if you have any experience with emulators, always has varying degrees of accuracy, reliability, and performance.

Hell, even binary compatible emulators like bSNES are not 100% perfect.

The Brick has a 3.2" screen vs a 4.96" screen. Not all of us have bionic vision.

There have been 20% tariffs added in the last two months which reflects the price change some are talking about. And there is an additional 50% being threatened which would push this up into the $70 range on top of a newly added $25 fee meaning this will be around $100 soon if we stay on this course.

I am not seeing anything cheaper than $58 for this on Ali.

If you remove the recent tariffs from the cost, the price rivals all time lows at $39 before tariffs. This could be the cheapest it gets from now on, but only time will tell.

104% tariffs are now in effect. Timeline was moved up from tonight at midnight

That was an incorrect story. Still to be implemented at midnight. But honestly, I'm not sure if it makes a difference. I think tariffs are imposed when it enters the US, which would mean that you needed to order at least a week or two ago for the order to avoid the fee.

MORE IMPORTANT: this seller ships from a US warehouse! That means that no new tariffs or fees can be imposed by the US government on this inventory, it already went through that process. This is probably going to be where many Aliexpress deals are, for a few weeks. If you shop the other similar handhelds to this one, many of the best prices are from US shippers right now.

Yeah for a few weeks. Good luck after that 👍

Hi GreySwing658 Smilie The old thread for the $38 deal w/ 64GB card (and no case included) is still accessible to everyone. It was never deleted. It's just located in the 'Deal Talk' subforum now; where all expired deal threads are moved to whenever a deal dies. If you click on where it says 'previous posts' in the OP of this current thread, it comes up in the list of search results.

Hi staff, if it can't be searched for reference it might as well be deleted because it has no more useful applications.
