Quote from Frank_Nitty :
I've been waiting on these Retroid Pockets to come at a reasonable price, and oh boy, what a time to be alive 😁
After reading the rest of the comments, I'm just now realizing this isn't the best it could sell for. Oh well...
I've been keeping an eye on RP5 prices since April last year. Not sure what comments you're referring to in the thread but the $120, $139 prices mentioned are incredible prices. The "$158 a couple months ago" was for the grey which has always seen better pricing than other colors (and in fact I picked one up for $153 two weeks ago), but even the $172 is a great deal. Whether the $120/130 was a price mistake, who knows, but you're unlikely to see these under $150 without there also being a paypal promo going on that is stackable with the regular AE sale coupons.

Quote from killerkow :
The most expensive thing I got from Aliexpress was a $300 computer processor. It came without retail packaging, but it's the real legit cpu and still working fine a year later.I've had worse luck with little cheap (under $4) items than big ones. When I got an order that was dishonest, I filed a ticket and Aliexpress refunded me next day without even asking questions.
Yeah, I've had similar experiences with cheap items and feel comfortable buying them from Ali as a result. But I'm concerned they'll take a different approach with more expensive items.

FLIP 2 with same $24 off coupon goes for $146 + tax

This is the SD865 same exact stats as RP5, but you get a flip cover to protect the screen. This is a BETTER DEAL
Thanks for the link! Unfortunately it looks like they are sold out of all but the Ice Blue color, which has risen to $215 before the coupon.

Seems like a pretty good deal. 8gb of ddr4 is already a huge chunk of that price. OLED too.

holy what a steal. thank god i was still awake. RP5 is still $199 on official Retroid site...
I'm new to this, so excuse my ignorance. Looking at the specs, this is only a little bit faster than say the processor used in a Motorola Stylus phone that often goes onsale for $60. It seems pretty underpowered for the price? I know it's not supposed to be a steam deck or Rog Ally, but still seems pretty weak on processor for the price?

Quote from balloonshark :
This long setup guide is the best guide. If you want to set up all the systems he does make sure to have at least one rom in each of the systems. I had to stop the tutorial and add the games/roms. This whole process will take about 2 days if you're a little computer literate.

I followed this to set up mind. I think one of my emulators is broken (my fault) but the rest all work.
My issue is that ever since spending the day setting it up, I've used it twice in the last 2 months lol.
