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.
