Must pay in USD for the coupon to work, since the AU Price is below the code minimum spend (A$5 off A$50+ Spend).

Available in: White, Black & Purple.

I highly recommend replacing the SD Card with a reputable brand (such as SanDisk or Samsung) and installing custom firmware ArkOS (RG351MP).

Reviews & Guides:

AU$ based on current MasterCard rate and GST inclusive.

    Best value handheld.

    • tor on 01/05/2024 - 20:22

      Got one a week ago; initial impression: loads of games included, at least with the one I got. It charges through USB-C, but doesn't support power delivery, so you need a USB-A to USB-C with a dumb charger to charge it. The screen is a tad small for some games, so you might feel you're missing some details.

  • frogduck on 01/05/2024 - 19:06

    Hoping that rg353v deal comes back too :(

      Unless you really need android, this is almost as good.

      • frogduck on 01/05/2024 - 19:13

        Yeah agree this is very capable (also have one of these already) but was thinking some of the extra features (eg Android, video out, maybe better ergonomics, wifi) would be nice.

    Waiting for Odin 2 sale….

    • RichardL on 01/05/2024 - 19:45

      Don't think we'll see a sale for the Odin 2, since it's only official sold through AYN Site.

    • The Value on 01/05/2024 - 19:56

      RG556.

      The Thor to your Odin.

      • YoursTruly on 01/05/2024 - 20:58

        Waiting for an Odin 2 sale as well - or something similar to run saturn/ ps2/ gc - ideally in a small form factor.

        • The Value on 01/05/2024 - 21:08
          -1

          Retroid Pocket 3s/4

          Very expensive though.

          Hard to justify when a Steam Deck is "just" $600 but it's huge.

    • nikon on 01/05/2024 - 20:54

      May have to wait till CNY 2025 for a $10 off coupon code like they did this year

    The R36S gets a lot of things right for the price but I couldn't get over how awful the shoulder buttons were.

  • CornCorny on 01/05/2024 - 20:15

    Grabbed one. Love this site <3

  • Bruceflix on 01/05/2024 - 20:16

    This looks pretty good for $50 but what other, better options are there?

      Rg35xx h right now $48 usd delivered.

      • HeXa on 02/05/2024 - 08:29

        alternative for widescreen is the Trimui Smart Pro

        picked on up last month for ~50 USD from cutesliving on AE

      Try Miyoo mini plus, brought it for 65 AUD. the review provided online talks about how solid it is and the open source software onion also has a lot of good review !

    • The Value on 01/05/2024 - 21:10

      Get the Miyoo Mini Plus. OnionOS makes it supreme.

    Excuse my ignorance. But what are pros of this over say the miyoo mini plus? And do people install onion OS on this too or is that really just a miyoo thing cause the stock os is terrible?

      But what are pros of this over say the miyoo mini plus?

      The benefit would be the analog joysticks and support for some N64 and Dreamcast Games.

      And do people install onion OS on this too or is that really just a miyoo thing cause the stock os is terrible?

      OnionOS is exclusive to the Miyoo. For the R36S, there's ArkOS.

    • ericc on 02/05/2024 - 10:09

      def not the buttons.
      R36S's buttons are horrible comparing to Miyoo Mini Plus

    • beltdrive on 02/05/2024 - 11:31

      I was under the impression that the only pro of this over Anbernics and Miyoos is the price

  • Fappy Bunny on 01/05/2024 - 20:58

    added tax total price is 53.62 and the code doesn't work "Your order amount, after discounts and excluding shipping fees, doesn't reach the minimum spend requirement for this coupon code. Once you reach the minimum spend requirement, you can reapply this coupon code."

    • RichardL on 01/05/2024 - 20:59

      Must pay in USD for the coupon to work.

      05CD03 Code is 'US$3 off US$29+' or 'AU$5 off AU$50+'.

      Since the R36S is US$29.75/AU$47.99 before tax; the coupon code will only work when paying in USD.

        oh that's why, thanks for clarifying

          If you're desperate to pay in AUD then just add a matching carry case (they are about $3) to get you over the limit for the code.

  • BargainSnatcher on 01/05/2024 - 20:59

    Good price. I paid $58 early this year

  • Loopholio on 01/05/2024 - 21:11

    Would this be the same console? It's 43AUD. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006271577378.html

    My hands are a bit profanityed, how comfortable is this to use?

    • RichardL on 01/05/2024 - 21:13

      Same console. The A$43.45 + GST is the Welcome Deal Price for new users (Standard price is A$60.71 + GST).

  • Dienk on 01/05/2024 - 21:30

    A lot of other devices on sale

    • frogduck on 01/05/2024 - 22:51

      Examples?

      • The Value on 02/05/2024 - 12:00

        RG35XX plus, H, Miyoo Mini, Trimui Smart Pro, rgb30

  • yolow on 02/05/2024 - 22:11

    What size sd card did you guys get and do you have recommendations?

    • Fappy Bunny on 03/05/2024 - 09:18

      I have a spare 32gb lying around in some old junk gadgets I have.
      My way for deciding will be base on the game I play.

      Let's say PSP is around 2GB max per game and gba are around 50 MB

      I won't be playing 16 PSP games anyways and won't be playing hundreds of gba games so the bare minimum is more than enough ( damn look at how technically advanced now. just the bare minimum can play all the games 20 years ago )

    Arrived today in Melbourne, ordered May 5, so that was pretty quick. It is an amazingly capable device for $50
