20% cash back at your favorite site makes this deal too hard to pass up. I got one hoping to play the IMOQ .hack series on my commute.

Fantastic Handheld, it even plays several switch games (but has been a buggy experience) every other system is pretty solid. Xbox is slowly getting android support gamecube wii and wiiu games also improving.

Sold out as far as I can see, otherwise I would have bitten.


Edit: Purple is available, but starting at $230. With the $29 coupon and $17 Paypal discount, it's around $180 before tax. Not bad, but I'd probably still go with an Anbernic RG 477V or 477M instead. It should perform better in PS2 and Gamecube, but the Snapdragon 865 in the RP5 will be much better for Switch emulation due to custom driver support.

If switch Emulation is what you want however, I'd strongly suggest going up to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2/3 or better platform, otherwise you'll find a lot of titles just run badly. However, the RP5 is a decent starting point for Switch emulation, and should run maybe half of Switch games acceptably.

Anbernic RG 477M:

Edit: The deal is still live, but the Coopreme Store is wonky.
This appears to have stock: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...73799.html

The way I buy things put cash back opportunities in front of the question, "is it worth it?" Lol. I always check cash back before submitting payment. Hope you remember next time !

I'll probably cancel and buy again. I'm not sure I'll get such good deals again this time but 20% is so much money.

I got it from the Ayn Official Store. I got a bunch of discounts applied including Paypal I think. I wasn't paying super close attention.

Based on past experience, usually the same day or the day after. I keep almost all my emails and that's what I'm seeing. Good luck !
