In theory there is also a $15 off Paypal credit but that didn't apply for me (you might need to use the app?). I believe those go in and out of stock so perhaps just bad timing, that being said, since the RP5 also goes in and out of stock at the $181 price, trying to wait for the stars to align might not work out.

For me it was $140 OTD (with tax), I also had $4-5 in 'Savings Monday' credits.

P.S. 26% extra (something) but we can't talk about that Wink

Only works on Black to get to $149. This will be my second one to test ROCKNIX or Pocknix directly installed to the internal storage. The extra 26% cashback is too hard to pass up !

When on "26% extra" page the $15 off PayPal goes away. Just FYI. You'd be still better off without it with that 26%

Got one of these on the last deal. It's shocking how many games this thing can play. Including pc games. It's way more powerful then I thought

I bought this when it came out it's best emulator system I have ever owned. It performs most games up to ps2 flawlessly and it is so comfortable to play hours at a time and the battery life is beast. At this price, it's no brainer especially given how console games are so expensive right now.

Good deal, I would say if you're getting one in 2026, make sure it's the 12GB RAM version and not the 8. I have the 8 and it's fine, but the 12 is now cheaper than what I paid at launch.

Are you saying people should steer clear of this deal since it's for the 8gb ram one?

The full specs are in the user manual, and it's 8gb.

Are you sure? Normally the chrome extension that shall go unnamed and the paypal discount do not interfere with each other. I did see a reddit post that suggesting the paypal was off the AE app though, not sure if that is a requirement but that can interfere at times (normally I still file for missing cb when buying via the app though).

Thanks for your reply regardless. I plan to buy something else later so I can tinker with things in hopes I can figure it out for that transaction.
