It's just weirdly soul-less for something that in theory is supposed to be an actual interest/hobby/passion.

Of course it's soulless. It's a term created by marketers to describe the process of extracting value from creative people.

And it's always been my belief that, from an ethical point of view, we're obliged to treat this new breed of "influencers", "Citizen journalists" or whatever they call themselves, the same way we treat "proper" journalists. As long as they hold themselves to the same standards. 

 

 

 

Which very few do.

Still waiting. Don’t they know who I am!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Preordered months ago... and apparently not getting any in the antipodes until next year. Boo. Hiss. Snarl. Etc.

My Founders Edition due Tuesday...

[AceGrace]

Still waiting for my dispatch notice. I must have ordered the Founders edition within 5 minutes of it going live. I also ordered 2 more pads.

[Dudley]

Mine is Tuesday, I got the notification from DPD 8 hours before Funstock bothered to tell me.

Yep, mine too!

[Not Thread Owner]

Mine is out for delivery today! 

[Dudley]

A warning for those getting the VS.

 

To turn it on you have to hold the power button for a second for some reason.

 

Thought mine was broken for a second!

 

EDIT : Oh yeah, mine also turned up.

[Rex Grossman]

Keep reading Founders Edition as Fondlers Edition. Still works.

Mine just turned up via DPD!

Nice packaging 😉

[Dudley]

Yeah the box is classy af, although a little bit plastic hell inside.

Yeah, inside it was a bit layer upon layer of black plastic trays, but overall some thought had gone into the box itself, which was a classy touch.

Interested to hear thoughts. Really looking forward to that Gaelco compilation.

Can’t risk turning it on yet though - everything in the box is wet with condensation

What's happened? Was it dropped in water?

All these pics are making me sad.

 

My order went through at 10:01 am. What time did the preorders open? 10:00am?

Come on Funstock!!!!!  Hurry up!!!!

[Lorfarius]

Prolly going to be even worse tomorrow as there's been snow disrupting roads etc all over

Cant tell if this is just not great photography or if this looks really awful, like something designed by a manufacturer of cheapo hardware peripherals in the early 90s? Same goes for the picture of the controller bellow!

[Not Thread Owner]

It's possibly photography? It's not as "premium" finish as, say, a Switch OLED, but it's way above anything ATGames can do. The design is fine - looks new and old at the same time, which is what it is.

 

Controller looks awful and way bigger than it needs to be, though, but it's fine to use.

[Dudley]

It's a £90 console not a £500 one but I'd say it feels solid enough.

 

The controller isn't THAT big but it's big.

[Camel]

Looks a million times better in that shot.

[merman]

Had a bad moment setting mine up this morning - the light bar cycled but it stuck on the Blaze logo.

 

Turned out the USB extension I was using wasn’t letting enough amps through, plugged direct and it all worked.

 

First impressions are great, excellent interface and the controllers feel good.

Will link my unboxing video when it’s live.

[keineboom]

I also got my Founders Edition today, really nice package and very much enjoying the batshit Gaelco collection....

[robotattack]

Some interesting stuff in this. John talks to Sean and m4xw while Audi plays through some games (and occasionally chips in).
