I'm betting it'll be April 1st.
Lets hope. I am dying in anticipation for this thing.
I think the joke went over your head. :lol:

Although yeah, I moved across country in November and took my cartridge based games but not my consoles which are in storage at my parents' place until I have more space for stuff. I was hoping to have the Retron 5 by Christmas but oh well.

Hopefully it'll stick this time. I'm going to hold out until there's a firm date.

I was just now hovering the mouse over both color options for a solid few minutes. I'm more undecided now than ever. :lol:

But yeah I sure hope there aren't any more unforeseen delays with this system. Really looking forward to it finally being released.

This isn't exactly news, but I thought the picture is cool enough that it's worthwhile to post.
