A bunch of the Engadget crew loves the Playdate, the tiny, quirky transportable console with a load of nice indie video games and a crank on the facet. I’ve lengthy had my eye on it, however by no means pulled the set off for one motive or one other. I do get Playdate emails, although, and a shocking and hilarious one caught my eye earlier at the moment (topic line: Mamma Mia!):
The message goes on to say that “We won’t be posting about this product on social media. We won’t be sending a press release to the media. This special limited edition cover is being shared first with you, our Playdate mailing list readers. (Thanks for subscribing.)”
Nicely, do not I really feel flattered!
To be clear, Playdate has offered somewhat purple (and extra just lately ocean blue) cowl for the console for the reason that starting. It’s also cute and satisfyingly wraps across the system to guard it from dings. However, it has nothing on this iconic pizza design.
The reveal of this cute product despatched the Engadget Slack channel right into a frenzy — Playdate aficionado Jessica Conditt stated nope, this may not make her neglect concerning the truth we’re nonetheless ready for the Playdate Stereo Dock (good attempt, Panic). In the meantime, I began fascinated by an upcoming trip I am happening, and would not the Playdate be a pleasant companion? Notably with that beautiful cowl.
A couple of minutes later and I had an order affirmation in my inbox. That escalated shortly — by no less than one measure, the Playdate pizza cowl is a hit.
For the remainder of you Playdate followers, do not sleep on this one — Playdate says the quilt is a restricted version that will not stick round lengthy. Within the meantime, a full evaluate will probably be forthcoming as quickly as this pizza is delivered.
