I ordered two. They're twice the price though. Guess it's worth it.

ive ordered from pimoroni (other suppliers are out there) but they've limited it to 1 per customer....

does anyone see there being any issues with peoples existing builds if they want to upgrade for example with helders AIO or with their Retropie builds

the built in wifi is great and the bluetooth sort of eleminates the need for a usb port....

Can't see it causing any issues at all.

Will negate the need for USB 1.1 etc and pretty much mean USB ports are only for controllers if GBZ is plugged into HDMI and output on at TV etc.

Still a bargain as getting the WiFi working for most has been a chore to date.

Got 2 ordered as well think of the head aches this would have saved many!! guess it was the next logical step.

I'm ordering one to validate that everything works as expected, with Wifi I can run it headless and only need a USB for charging, then use the other port for a USB Sound dongle...

Oh Yeah, this is awesome...

just been notified by pimoroni that i'll have mine delivered tomorrow

this also could make the build far less clutter by having a bluetooth controller... no more teensy

just have to find a bluetooth controller that will work
