They listened to both of your concerns, pixel, Yay!

Gorilla Glass, for Everyone

Over the last month, we have been beta testing Gorilla Glass for the PocketSprite. Originally planned just for the Deluxe Edition, we managed to lock down a great price, so decided to upgrade everyone’s screens to Gorilla Glass - for free.

As of this video going live this cost of the Family Pocket FC280 is 14.99 USD on GearBest. The price will change over time so best to get one ASAP. I've also been informed that orders placed before the 28th February will also receive a free gift.

Checking out prices in AliExpress, these things are too expensive. Second hand Android phones with ípega gamepads offer more bang for the buck.

The ones with better price points can only run ancient stuff like NES games. It's weird.
