I've been checking the kickstarter multiple times a day, really happy to see that it is doing well. I'll put some dollars towards it later this week, gotta have one.

Black, for sure. Though I wish the print on the buttons was red (or even white) instead of blue. Just me looking REALLY hard for something to nitpick, though :p

Over 100K - wow I did not expect that considering how slowly it was moving at one stage there.

Good to see.

I'm doing white...

I have a black PSP, black iPhone, and no wii.. so a non-black handheld will set it apart at my place.

You would think the pouch would be #1 oh well. We'll see how far it will go. There is no doubt that this system is getting funded.

I want to get one but im not sure how much use i will get out of if. I have the gpx wizz which is nice but i havent touched it for about 2 years. I have a habit of buying these new toys and then not touching it for several years.

They're still working on the driver support right now, which according to the podcast interview, should be completed soon. I too am interested in seeing the hdmi-out capabilities.

Yeah, I think I'm going to choose Black as well. It'll match all my other devices, and will probably look less dirty from my grimy hands. :)

Kickstarter is almost at the goal now!

As I type this, the total is $122, 585. Should make the $130K goal by tomorrow.

If anyone wants to get one of these, you basically have 7 days left. The KS ends next Monday.

I wonder if I could use this on my CRT monitor if I got a HDMI to SCART converter. If that works I would be in for sure.

Man there is a lot of drama about this console on the joystiq comments section.

I took a brief look at that earlier in the day, and saw an avalanche of stupidity and left.

Example:
"built for games and gamers" yet hasnt got 2 joysticks, dont lie

Hopefully Kotaku and Racketboy toss this up as well. I'm throwing down after I get paid this Thursday. Will likely go with black. I hope this hits 200K, would really like to receive that pouch. I think I'll dive into some SNES RPGs when I get this. Maybe Terranigma!

Also, Neo Geo games seem to run full speed.
