It's absolutely nuts how expensive anything gaming related has gotten just in the past year.
Every other gaming handheld is $799+. The Ally X is $899. The next generation of handhelds are going to easily be $999+. I couldn't enjoy playing anything on those knowing how much money I spent.
The LCD Deck? $399. Cheaper than a PS5. Cheaper than an Xbox. Cheaper than a Switch 2. Almost half the price of competing handhelds. And the screen really isn't even that bad.
