Just got my greenie Pocket through today, seems like there'll be even more opportunities for folks still wanting one to grab a unit, but kinda bummed about the adapters though.

At this point I've waited so long for the adapters I'm not too worried about another delay. I mean by the standards of any other company it would be insane how long it's taking, but it's par for the course with Analogue.

I'm looking forward very much to getting my hands on the Analogue OS 2.0 update. Love the sound of the Trinitron display mode.

t seems pretty illogical that they're even bothering with the 1.2 update honestly, since going by their own timetable 2.0 will be released just a couple of weeks later. I can only imagine they had intended to get 1.2 out much earlier as a stopgap.

Genuinely didn't think I'd see the Duo this year, and I still have my doubts, but good news anyway hopefully!

[wakka]

I have to say, although I am glad Duo preorderers have got good news, I do have my doubts as well. I was one of the people in that massively long wait for the second wave of Pockets, and they did a similar 'before Christmas' promise around this time of year for us. I eventually received my machine around early Feb.

Hopefully that's not the case again here!

[Colin]

Honestly, if it's not with me by Chrimbo I'll be cancelling.

Duo embargo is up:

What's the takeaway here, slighty undercooked but mostly works. Bit funny with a number of hucards.

[Colin]

Has anyone here actually had a shipping notice?

Has anyone here actually had a shipping notice?

Not yet but it can’t be far away. Friday was the last day for changing your shipping address so hopefully that’s systems starting to ship. Just received my Turbo Everdrive and need to find some blank CDs before it arrives.
I’ve watched a couple of reviews and it seems overall very positive. The 1080p output looks great and I’m curious to try the composite palette output too. Looks less garish than the RGB output. Seeing the same OS as the Pocket on a system intended for larger screens is disappointing but may be updated in the future I suppose.

[Colin]

Can't say I really came away from those videos feeling as positive as you but as you said, last chance to cancel was Friday, so I'm getting it now either way. Had I seen the videos first I doubt I would've bothered with it.

[wakka]

That was cheeky that they positioned the embargo end three days after the last point of cancellation for preorders.

It looks good overall but also like it's coming out slightly half cocked. It looks to me like it could have done with another few months of bug fixes but they decided to push it out before Xmas no matter what.

I'm continuing to wonder where that 'early December' Analogue Pocket 1.2 update is...we're supposed to be getting the 2.0 by Christmas, as well.

The 1.2 update for the Pocket is already out. I updated my Pocket last night.

[wakka]

Oh nice! I will install it in that case 🙂

[Colin]

Well, mine has shipped!
