(This is an affiliate link, I get a few bucks if you use this to buy one, so thank you for using that if you pick one up!)

I reviewed this doodad last week and I LOVED it, but a lot depended on the price, and now we know that the super early bird price is $199 from Feb 5-12 only. This also comes with a free set of the mechanical micro switch modules (a very unique thing about this handheld). And for earlybird period you can also get their amazing case (which I stupidly forgot to show in my video) for $9.99.

I think this is a really solid price for this device. It's similarly priced to the Retroid Pocket 6 ($230), however that one will give you more performance but a lower refresh rate screen, and it's smaller. This one is like a BIG Retroid Pocket 5 instead, less performance but really big and comfy, and CRAZY good battery life. So both are good but different strengths.

I'd love to know what you think about this pricing though. Fair? Cheap? Overpriced? LMK what you're feelin'!

YO DWEEBS! I don't do this very often but I felt this was worth bringing up here. Ayn is discontinuing the Odin 2 (base model), but they are also having a sale on the Odin 2 Portal to clear out their old stock - Possibly to make way for an Odin 3 Portal? I hope so!

Each model is discounted but the base is down to $249. That is honestly an amazing value for this amazing doodad. If you've been on the fence to get a Portal, this is a great time!

If you're interested in getting one and want to use my affiliate link to help my channel grow, THANK YOU for doin that!

And if you don't, I still love you 😘

*EDIT: Corrected the post text as the portal is not being discontinued (yet), only the base Odin 2

So apparently 250,000 people decided, collectively, that this was a good idea. That’s… a lot of humans.

I told my mom and she said, “That’s nice dear,” which I think means I’ve made it!

Thank you for watching and encouraging me to keep doing this thing. I get to make videos every day because of you, and that still doesn’t feel real.

The only way I know how to say thank you is by making better videos for you to enjoy. So many of them. Relentlessly. TOO MANY! At some point you may ask yourself when it became like this. The answer is today.

Check it out! The TechDweeb-ES-DE theme just got a couple spiffy new gamelist view modes. A box art with title text view (this would be great for an Android "Steam Deck Mini" setup), and a screenshot flow view mode (I love this one!). Also, there's a new "Black Sludge" colourization option that is great for OLED screens. Update your TD theme in ES-DE to get the new stuff!

(Thank you, as always, to Anthony Caccese for his expert help making this work!)
