Game Stick Project Console Improvement updates

Game Stick

At the time of writing this, there is 62 hours left to go!

The last few days of the Game Stick, Kickstarter campaign are gripping. The team behind the fantastic Game Stick idea only needed $100,000 (£63,451), and they managed to raise a staggering $537,185 (£340,853)!
If you haven’t already supported the project make sure you do! Visit their Kickstarter Campaign now!

“It’s hard to believe that we launched GameStick just a few short weeks ago. The Kickstarter campaign has been a roller coaster of a ride and one which has given us more feedback than we could ever have possibly imagined.” says PlayJam’s CMO, Anthony Johnson, “We have been able to take that input and literally better shape our product to give our backers a truly bespoke creation – one which has been designed by the Kickstarter community that backed it.”

The Game Stick has currently received a new design which has extended grips and its shape changed to make it more comfortable in the hand. The HDMI house has almost been relocated to the ear of the controller. The stick itself is now a 32GB Micro SD Card

Other modifications, which game as requests from the backer community that supported the project is a wire-less charging dock, USB ports to support mice and keyboards and the ability to up the storage to a massive 104GB!

The Game Stick comes with a $79 price tag, you can pledge to the Kickstarter project and get one on launch. I’m really looking forward to the launch of the Game Stick, its price tag appeals to me for something that looks fun and easy to use, it’s also great for parents like me trying to keep up with the latest trends in gaming for the children, it’s something I can afford. Heck I could buy one for each of them and still not break a sweat over my wallet!

I’ve been tweeting asking who from the gaming community will be purchasing a Game Stick, tweet me and let me know if one of them will finds it’s way into your hands this year!
