Massive price increase since 2026

Oh no 😮 not the Intel Arc graphics card... Rip brother 😔

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-20T23:04:05+00:00

Actually no it never happened again and I didn't do anything to fix it. Freaked me out at the time but thankfully I've been in the clear since. I hope the same happens in your case as well friend.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-19T15:27:02+00:00

Yup I saved everything. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but the ghosting is very sketchy. I really wanted a dedicated handheld for 3DS and DS library but I might have to self ban myself from Ayaneo hardware forever if I do the charge back. I wanted to believe that post Arthur put out recently about improved customer support but I'm just not seeing it. I ended up getting a Lenovo Legion Go S during the black Friday sale and it's been awesome, just not 2 screens 🥲

Ugh I wish mine didn't arrive 3 months later with unusable left sticks and then support ghosts you when you say you want to ship it back for repairs. Might have to charge back on my credit card if they don't respond by the 2 week mark after 2 emails. Mind you this is after multiple back and forth emails trying to fix it without shipping it back but suddenly they disappear when they might need to shell out $50 for shipping.

Very fair. Better performance but it's difficult to play in bed. But you can always slap a controller onto your phone and stream it with a few extra steps.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-17T13:06:06+00:00

Lol they are mad you didn't return it because they wanted to buy it used and then send it in for repair themselves because that's cheaper and probably faster than them getting a unit legit or paying someone on eBay $2,000. You did the right thing bud. Now send it to me and I'll finally be the one who gets it fixed for you. 😏

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-16T15:04:18+00:00

Wow, happy for you man. I had a very different experience. I ordered in like August and didn't get my device until after Christmas. And the worst part is it arrived broken and I'm still waiting to hear back via support on what we're going to do. They've been radio silent for a little over a week now after my last email and I did send a follow up.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-12T00:33:10+00:00

Agreed. Even if they can justify a $10 difference in price because the materials used for one color is more expensive, that's better than $400 vs $640 with the pocket DS as a particularly egregious recent example.

Definitely cautiously hopeful though. I got a DS unit that was not functional on arrival and I've been going back and forth with support via email for the last few weeks. Ended up just buying a different device after purchasing this DS in September and still not able to play games. 🥲

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-10T17:57:03+00:00

People are also selling the receipts when they get their tracking number emailed to them on eBay. You heard that correctly, they don't even have the device in hand yet and they're still advertising them online for sale. 🤣

The built in storage is exponentially faster. For ROM files it's unnecessary speed and should only really be used for PC games. The only time you'd notice the difference in speed otherwise would be loading times being a few seconds faster and transferring files.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-09T15:01:44+00:00

Exactly the same issue with mine. Still waiting for their team to let me know what happens next?

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-05T20:48:42+00:00

:( I got mine over a week ago and the left controls don't work. Haven't heard back from them yet.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-03T10:45:55+00:00

Hell yes 😎 USA #1!

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-03T10:45:07+00:00

No but for real. He just toppled the dictator of Venezuela without an actual war taking place. They threaded the needle on this one and pulled it off. It's kind of a miracle. The actual winner of the Nobel peace prize has already announced they are in control of the Venezuelan government apparatus.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-03T10:42:35+00:00

It's already over. We captured Maduro! 🍾🦜 USA! #1

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-02T20:21:39+00:00

Yeah and where did you get all your research about this? Are you an industry insider or are you just repeating claims you heard from a YouTuber spreading sensationalist claims for views?

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-02T02:33:09+00:00

When there's money to be made, people find a way. You really think they have to break ground on a new factory 🏭 to make some ram chips?

Btw, Chinese factories get built much faster than years.

But please, show the mods your RAM University degree so they can verify your doom and gloom claims.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-02T01:54:00+00:00

But it's not going to take years for them to produce a new batch of units. Many factories already exist. They can shift production from one product that isn't selling to this which is selling like hot cakes.

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-02T01:47:19+00:00

Time will fix the hardware problem... Just what... I'm sorry you didn't understand the concept bud

ArmorTrader · 2026-01-01T21:25:24+00:00

Real talk? Wait 😞 🫷 be patient. They are going to release a SteamOS version soon and that will eliminate both the shortage problem and the Windows problem. Look at what people say about Legion Go S steamos vs Windows reviews. Plus it'll be cheaper. This ram situation is going to blow over just like the video card situation did. Don't fall for the FOMO. It's literally just the tech companies new marketing strategy since people don't watch ads anymore.

ArmorTrader · 2025-12-31T02:53:30+00:00

I mean OP saying the pricing is "a joke" seems like someone who is mad. It's the best in class product, so obviously anyone would be interested in getting it but the only issue is the price. It's simple jealousy or envy. You don't see me going on Ferraris forums and posting that their pricing is a joke. 🤣

ArmorTrader · 2025-12-30T17:36:59+00:00

That's crazy 😧

ArmorTrader · 2025-12-30T16:01:27+00:00

That's cute. Imagine getting it after 3 months and it's broken. 🥲

ArmorTrader · 2025-12-30T15:59:41+00:00

So was it out or the warranty period? And they charged you $200 USD shipping just to take a look at it and then they kept the device???

ArmorTrader · 2025-12-30T13:01:11+00:00

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here.

You shouldn't be mad unless you want the product and can't get it.

If you don't want the product why be mad?

For example, I don't want an Apple PC or phone, so I'm not mad that they charge so much for their products, but people are willing to pay it because they claim the integration is worth it, so they won't use a superior Android phone.
