There is a winter sale going on AliExpress. Lowest price for this controller with coupons from here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/861612
Hear me out - add Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 for AU$440 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/862349 and get yourself a Lenovo Legion Go Android Edition :)
I am eyeing one of those as well, but I just found this announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/1es2c4j/lenovo_legi…
There is a new one on the way!
is there ever never a new one on the way?
Yeah that's nice, performance wise probably about the same. But the battery should be better. But no way it will be 440 AUD soon :)
Does anyone know if there is any difference between this one and the REDMAGIC Shadow Blade Gamepad 2.
I think they are virtually the same just rebranded?
That's right. I like the gamesir one more, the Red magic has a translucent black plastic which looks cheap.
G8+ doesn't have usb c port plug to phone.
The regmagic is more like original G8
I tried using coupon code AUS030 which didn’t work. Is there another code I should be using?
Check the code AUS080
This code didn’t work for me either. I have also tried converting the currency to US.
Not sure what's going on there, during checkout the coupons are automatically applied for me. https://imgur.com/a/qAhTsha
There is a store coupon automatically added as well.
I ordered through this and received the packagae yesterday but got G8 instead of G8 plus, opened the return ticket through Aliexpress. So dissapointed with the seller
I bought from the same seller, and got the G8 plus.
Are you sure it's not the G8 plus? The "+" is incorporated into the "8", so the G8+ does look like its a G8 on the box! (Especially because it says Galileo as well - which I thought was specific to the G8 version…I've never seen the G8+ referred to as the Galileo G8+)
And you ordered the right model from the listing? (The listing has both models)
That sucks if you ordered the right model and got the wrong one!
I did order the G8 plus, and chose the right listing.
Anyways, returned it today and got the refund.
Will wait for next sale to arrive (finger crossed)
Damn - unlucky!
Hope the price comes back for you, and you can get one - the G8+ is great!
Edit: Oh I misread - that price includes the site coupon. That sounds about right then. Phew. (I thought the price had reduced from when I bought earlier!).
I got the one with the bundled usb dongle (from the same listing) - ended up being US$60.20 after coupon for me ($20 off $149 coupon). Dongle available seperately for about US$4.50 from another seller, but the bundle works out cheaper if you want the dongle.
