The Playdate is about to get a price increase
Briefly

Due to increased production costs at a new factory, the price of the Playdate will rise to $229 starting March 25. The company announces this change to preemptively inform customers who might be interested in purchasing the gaming system at its current price of $199. The message encourages potential buyers to act quickly, as it is the last week to secure the lower price before the increase takes effect.
It would cost quite a bit more to make a Playdate than it did at our previous factory, leading to a price increase.
As a result, starting March 25th, Playdate systems will be priced at $229, up from the current price of $199.
We want to give you a heads up about the price change, so if you're on the fence, act quickly.
This is the very last week you can buy a brand new Playdate at the current price of $199.
