Well, that took quite a while. After falling behind the launch date by a year, Playdate started taking pre-orders in 2021. Fast forward two and half years, and it has finally caught up with all pre-orders. You know what this means. This means if you have been putting off buying this awesome analog/digital gaming device because of the pre-order wait, you can now safely order it.
That’s right. Playdate is now in stock and ready to ship in 2-3 days. Estimated delivery is about a week for U.S. customers and 2-4 weeks for international orders. Speaking of international shipping, Playdate has also added quite several countries/localities, including Malaysia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Hong Kong, South Korea, Norway, and all of the EU.
For US$199, you will score yourself a fun pocketable handheld gaming system in yellow packing over 20 games, and a matching USB-C to USB-A cable. Playdate is also offering a cover for sale as well which is selling for 29 bucks, or a special bundle price with the device for US$219.
