So today is the beginning of a new month and with it there are aliexpresses choice sales. Compared to the previous sales, these sales are honestly pretty mediocre. I've updated my spreadsheet but I have not been impressed with the prices.
However, there is an intriguing deal that offers what could be the cheapest Gen 6 emulation setup ever. A few weeks ago, I posted about my $50 gamecube setup. Since then I've tested PS2 too and some lighter games such as FFX and Kingdom Hearts run great. However, I love getting a deal and I wondered, could I do Gen 6 for even cheaper than $50? At the time, it seemed impossible but I think I have found a way today. Gamecube for $25 is possible if you buy the Moto G Play 2 Pack from QVC. It's $79.99 on sale right now and if you've never shopped at QVC in your life just like me, they're offering $30 off $60 with the code WELCOME30. While these phones are undoubtedly lower spec than the Straight Talk deal, they are running snapdragon processors which have better compatibility with android emulation. So with a cheap telescopic controller such as the BSP D3 and one of these phones, you have a decent emulation setup for under $35, and possibly $25 if you already own a controller.
And these phones come with some limited tracphone service too, so should you need a burner phone or two, that's a bonus.
