I think I’m finally gonna get my first 16:9 one of these now that they’re getting up to games and streaming apps that use it decently.

Also yo this is turning into an expensive habit haha.

I am extremely triggered by footage of Federation VS Zeon being labelled as Super Robot Wars

In fairness on that one, it was Spider-Man and they didn't update the label for Elden Ring.

Pocket 3+ $150, sucks if you bought a 3 only for a complete and massive improvement to come along for only $30 more.

How long does Retoid usually take between announcements, preorders and shipping? Is it going to be spring before anyone actually has one?

If I remember right the Pocket 3 was about 6 weeks from announcement to orders.

I just bought a 2+ at the beginning of the year and I hardly use it. Not feeling the need for a 3+.

2+ is completely different?

in the sense that 4:3 vs 16:9 does make the use case the same, gaming, but you won't be game steaming playing anything modern (unless it supports 4:3 res)

I think Walla meant like, "I don't use a 2+ so I can't see the 3+ changing that"

I might actually go from 351M to RP3+, I wasn't actually aware the RP3 finally had L3/R3. Hope their shipping to Aus isn't too bad lol

This. My RP2 is primarily for Saturn and some Dreamcast games since all of my other emulation needs are covered.

Yeah I read the post too fast, I never follow speed limits

I have been waiting on buying one of these in fear of it being a dust collector, I can use a controller with a phone mount and have most of what an rp3+ would offer there anyway, it just feels unwieldy and can't be taken anywhere without looking really dumb.

but one thing an RP3 has that the other doesn't is a widescreen, which is an entire different use case

Does the retroid setup process give you an option to not insta any of the google apps? The pocket 3+ specs look perfect to me but I don’t like android because of all the junk running in the background.

I saw that there are some third party roms but Id like to stay as close to stock as possible to not have to debug issues myself

Yeah that's cool, they're selling the new clear colour shells as well if you're happy with the RP3 and just want a clear case.

So is some crazy Frenchman being presented with android chips like appetizers at a fancy ball and that’s how retroid upgrades happen?

Is there even a Frenchman? Does he have a twist mustache?

Do you feel the same way?
How big of a difference is the new chip going to make compared to the regular RP3?

A friend of mine ordered from Droix - very interested to hear what you think. I think it's a good fit for him as he's being dumped off Stadia (!) and he's looking for something that'll still work for streaming and local stuff. He doesn't have big expectations, as he is accustomed to what you get from a Switch, so I think he's in for a good time. If nothing else the games will be cheaper.

Well I have a steam deck and I have the win max 1 and the steam deck is the much better cheaper choice imo.

I’m going to use this for other stuff the deck doesn’t do so well like windows games and stuff. The first revision was pretty drat good tbh so I expect the same from this.

Today is the last day to change shipping info for my order, so I would presume the label will print and picking / packing will begin so shipping must be imminent. I'm too excited.

It's a combination of it being Windows native and the mini-laptop form factor he was keen on, as it's replacing his old XPS 13 which finally gave up the ghost. He liked what he used of my Steam Deck and he's been into older clamshell devices - he even got the original OpenPandora way back in the day.
