[IndubitablyRetro]

I’m not surprised that $19 billion has been spent on games that haven’t been played. I’m guilty of it. I have a huge backlog of games I have purchased as part of a bundle and still haven’t played.

[strongbad]

My cube came yesterday and after spending a few hours setting it up I then see the post about the stick fix. If I would have seen it a few hours earlier I would have done that first. At this point it's going to be too much of a pain to wipe it and start over so I'll just wait for the full gamma. Can't wait

[ElliotButch]

So fun fact, for those who keep bringing up that the video of RG40XXH has tea spilled everywhere, if it's a traditional Chinese tea shop I do believe that little bird looking thing on the tray is what's called a tea pet and it's customary to pour the first steep of the tea on top of it. Why they decided to put a bunch of electronics around that are I won't understand though

[scizfoshiz]

If Anbernic took the exact button layout of the RG40XX H but used the specs of the 556 and then used the 3 : 2 screen from the KTR1. That would be their best handheld!!!!

[daexter]

I will definitely buy the RG40XX-H and I already know that I will probably never play games on it outside of testing. I have 11 Retro game consoles in total and spent a lot of time setting them up and dialing in all the settings I like. Then I update them all every month or so. There is simply no time left actually playing games 😂

[DigitalJedi]

Im interested because I really like the H my only gripe was the size and wished it was 4 or 5 inches. May not seem like much of a difference but play a game on the H for a little bit then play the same on the RG Arc the screen size difference is not much but it feels better

[gamevideos]

Where’s our RG406M/P?? I just want a more powerful RG405M in plastic

[scizfoshiz]

I think they should have gone with a 960x720 pixel screen and used the chipset from the 405M on the 40XX H

[levelcode]

On the 40xx Im interested in a bigger screen but im not sure if half an inch is bigger enough

[metalsquid]

kinda interested. I just got my first retro handheld (miyoo mini+) a few weeks back. mainly dig the look and everyone raved about onionOS but I find it a little cramped for me and I think a horizontal device should be next on my list. would be better for long sessions and games where I need to use shoulder buttons a lot. Not ready to spend RG Cube/556 money yet but a 4" screen at a H700 price point... I can be tempted.

[DeshanNaidoo]

The only thing the RG40XX got going for itself is that screen in a plastic shell. Well, besides the fact that it would be very affordable. PS1 will be absolutely awesome on it. Come on, Retroid give us a Pocket with the exact same form factor as the 2s with a 4" screen, and the community will love you even more.

[jonathonearl]

I certainly want the ANBERNIC RG40XXH with the stock firmware! I plan to install two 1.5TB Sandisk micro sd cards into mine. The RG40XXH is the handheld I've always wanted and it would most likely be my favorite landscape handheld.

[Jeapify]

Remember the flash sale pricing the Steam sales used to have? I own Stacking the Matryoshka stacking doll game.

[snowzZzZz]

does the new anbernic device not look like it was clearly targeted for the trim ui smart?

[akaShanks]

Does that gamma update fix the stick issues on the 405v?

[Paintjeezy]

I got the RP2S on your recommendation and I have never looked back. I just play a lot of Pokémon, Final Fantasy, and pinball games. I use my 2S for games with save states and I have the RG35XXSP for hardcore achievements. I would love an Odin 2, but other than that, I consider my handhelds to be the best available and I think they would have to do something drastic to make me upgrade.

[mattdavis]

I like the RG40XXH. It looks good, I like the screen size, and the H700 gives it access to a lot of custom firmware options. I'm with you though that for a few dollars more than launch pricing I'd rather buy the Pocket 2S. Once the RG40-letters goes on sale then it might be worth picking up; but its projected launch pricing seems kind of steep for what you're getting, IMO. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm missing the point of the device. It wouldn't be the first time.

Thanks for the shout-out.

[Ag]

So Gamma fixed the cube’s software before you even got one with a fixed screen 😂 What a legend

[GarethFreshwater]

I really like the look of the 40XXH, but I already own a 35XX+ and 405M, so don't have a need for it, so will be passing until they start bumping the specs again.

[GreenTeaViewer]

I'm one of those who held off on the RG35XX, H and SP because the screen is a bit small (compared to my one and only handheld the RGB30). The RG40XX has my attention but it's not a must-buy for me.
