I had this problems before too. Turns out their system doesn't tell you that you need to enter some address info in your account setup. I was trying to use PayPal so I thought I was good. After I figured this out the transaction went thru and I didn't have any duplicate orders.

$500 for a portable gc from China with a 3d printed case is just too much. I was thinking $500 was a lot but they're probably still paying for the mold and they don't sell many of them yet...

Yes, definitely do a teardown on that GC handheld! Also, do they make the 3D print files available? Can you redo the shell with some clear filament?

I feel like all of ETA's videos are essentially ads. I love consumer electronics so I watch his videos out of interest. If something is actually intriguing and I want a more critical overview of something then I look elsewhere.
@nathanddrews9 ай бұрын
If you want to get cynical, *everything* is an ad, even "objective reviews" are still part of the overall marketing of a given product. All that really matters is whether or not you trust ETA to describe his experiences accurately and whether or not the device interests you.

I'm adding my voice to the chorus that'd love to see a lot more coverage of the GameCube. Other people, and the Ali-X listing itself, suggest that there's actually a Wii inside that shell. If you do decide on doing a feature on it, please see if it'll run Wii games too. If it could that'd add extra value to this handheld. The X6 disappointed me; through no fault of itself. Rather; Taki had reviewed a different console called the X#, I think that number was 6 too, a week or so ago. It too is a white colored vertical handheld with dual sticks, except it has PS1 ability too. I thought this unit was that one, and for only $17! I got my hopes up and then it turned out that, actually, no it isn't.
