Yep got an email too, asking to confirm address

A mate already has one. I'm jel.

[Dogg Thang]

I'm really looking forward to this one. It looks like so much fun.

[fishbowlhead]

I really want to get this but i just know I’m going to play it for 20 seconds then put on the desk and never touch again.

[QualityChimp]

But what a glorious 20 seconds that will be when you get it out and crank it...

But what a glorious 20 seconds that will be when you get it out and crank it...

This is exactly my feeling. I think the fun is likely to be short lived but it's not something that is putting me off. I think it could be one of those gifts that keeps on giving but in short little bursts, possibly even years apart.

Yeah I'm big enough and ugly enough and spend enough time working that if I want a little yellow console that only plays oddball indie games for £200, by god I'm going to buy it.

[fishbowlhead]

First world problems eh.

[endo]

We're on a niche gaming forum, dude...

[fishbowlhead]

How dare you, we’re way beyond niche now.

Group 2 is now shipping!

My order number is towards the higher end of Group 2, so I probably won't get mine till August, but still. Progress

We're happy to note that Group One shipping is now complete. That means over 10,000 Playdates are now out in the world. That also means — yes — Group Two began shipping a few days ago!!(Remember, we ship Playdates gradually every day, so we expect Group Two should be done by the end of August.)

Getting closer, thought the moment would never arrive.

[cutmymilk]

I can imagine one guy in his garage packing these one by one and using the DHL website to print labels, slowly, using one wi fi bar that has managed to creep its way from the living room.

[importaku]

YAY the moment has arrived it's finally shipped snipped all info just in case anyone online tries to mess with order as i uploaded pic to imgur

[wakka]

Nice!

Mine can't be far away now...surely...

[wakka]

Revisiting times I thought I might not be waiting years for my Playdate.

September 2020:

Nah, it’s not out. Supposedly coming this year still.

July 2021:

Awwww, my order summary and email say 2021 I hope it's not 2022.

Ah, you sweet summer child.
