I am glad I was able to get in and it has gone over goal. It seems like it will be the ultimate handheld and the price is fantastic (may give the Open Pandora competition). The support and dedication of the makers make it for me.

Time to pledge some money. I'm so glad it reached its goal. Could not pledge earlier on cause of bills and stuff.
I still don't know if I would like the black or the white version. I hate glossy black with a passion after experiencing how easily it gets scratched (PS3)

It doesn't look 'glossy' to me. Looks more along the lines of a black Game Boy or Game Boy Advance (not SP). Or perhaps - dare I say - like the AES
I could be wrong though.

Just put down my $135. Very excited about this little machine and looking forward to giving it a whirl. Glad to see it's funded as well.

Looks like my front lit NGPC you did for me will begin collecting dust once this thing is shipped...but you know what, it may just be time to move on
Definitely it means you will get one. The KS has been a big success, and they are well over goal now. It will probably be a few months before they ship, but considering they've managed to produce like 150 of these things already, they should be able to deliver.

Yeah, It would be very sad if the mass produced one is of lower quality than the SE.
I'm guessing they will reach stretch goal #2 but not #3. That pouch doesn't look too protective anyway...

I wouldn't mind the pouch, I liked the one for my GB Micro. But not that protective but if the screen is high quality glass then we wouldn't really need to worry much, plus someone can always put that film on it to prevent scratches.

looks like it's going to be close! Did you guys read about the "clone" on alibaba trading? Aparently a chinese manufacturer is offering clones of these suckers already... Sucks if it's true, but the "justin" guy whose in charge of the GCWZero claims it's not possible, instead a scam, or a picture of the GCWZero being used in place of the device you actually get from alibabatrading.com Kinda sucks if it's true, which would mean the factory that they sourced production to is now producing the console for sale, cheaper units that might be sold as legit GCWZeros mucking up the warranty stuff and possibly causing the GCW community suicide before releasing to market...
Eitherway I am hoping it's a fake, that or atleast it won't cause GCW zero or the creators and community too much trouble.

Suicide? What? You are seriously exaggerating things. You might want to read the latest posts at Dingoonity before posting such hyperbole.
On a brighter note, the KS is now over $190K. Looks like $200K is very likely by Monday night.

I'd pick the ngx any day just by looking at both pieces of Hardware. And ofc, a licensed product to play licensed Games is way more Chinese style than an open Source emulator mayhem machine

Problem being the NGX can't even play its "official" games correctly.
