Playdate, the unique handheld gaming console by Panic, will see its price rise from $199 to $229 effective March 25, primarily due to increased manufacturing costs following a factory move. Until then, customers can purchase the device at the lower price. Additionally, Panic is releasing a limited number of refurbished units at $179, all assured to be functional and come with a warranty, aiming to attract those deterred by the price hike. The console, known for its crank feature, launched in 2022 and offers a growing library of over 150 games.
"On March 25, the Playdate will cost $229 - up from the current $199, as Panic cites higher manufacturing costs after moving to a new factory."
"Panic is also offering a very limited stock of refurbished Playdates for $179, which are guaranteed to play games perfectly and come with a six-month warranty."
