The release for this console is Mid July to Early August 2012. Final Cost for GCW Zero Special Edition will be between $110.00 to $120.00. No word on normal price though as of yet.

Me personally being a gadget fan cannot wait for this. This looks like its gonna be the best open source portable console yet, even better than the GP2X Caanoo and the Dingoo A380 which are currently out atm.

I'm seriously thinking about pre ordering one soon. :048:


Ooops, forgot to mention it will have a analog nub below the dpad (which helps in fighting games such as Street Fighter when performing hadoukens)

Anyone else interested in getting this awesome looking open source console?
