The message goes on to say that “We won’t be posting about this product on social media. We won’t be sending a press release to the media. This special limited edition cover is being shared first with you, our Playdate mailing list readers. (Thanks for subscribing.)”
Nicely, do not I really feel flattered!
To be clear, Playdate has offered just a little purple (and extra not too long ago ocean blue) cowl for the console because the starting. It is usually cute and satisfyingly wraps across the system to guard it from dings. However, it has nothing on this iconic pizza design.
The reveal of this lovely product despatched the Engadget Slack channel right into a frenzy — Playdate aficionado Jessica Conditt stated nope, it will not make her overlook concerning the reality we’re nonetheless ready for the Playdate Stereo Dock (good strive, Panic). In the meantime, I began excited about an upcoming trip I am happening, and would not the Playdate be a pleasant companion? Notably with that gorgeous cowl.
A couple of minutes later and I had an order affirmation in my inbox. That escalated shortly — by at the least one measure, the Playdate pizza cowl is a hit.
For the remainder of you Playdate followers, do not sleep on this one — Playdate says the quilt is a restricted version that will not stick round lengthy. Within the meantime, a full evaluate can be forthcoming as quickly as this pizza is delivered.
