I was kind of interested in the Playdate but couldn't bring myself to buy one. Last summer I stayed at my brother-in-laws place for a week and did some DIY work around his house, and while I was there played with his Playdate. Really enjoyed it, but still couldn't bring myself to "pull the trigger" on buying one. I'm really busy with work and life these days and don't often find I have time to game. 3 months later a package arrived from Playdate; as a thank you for the DIY work my BIL bought me one. It's a very well designed and executed device, the crank handle is well used in many games, and it's nice to have a device that just does one thing and does it well. It can be a little tricky to play depending on ambient light.
