Kickstarter continues to be the gamer’s best friend. The latest project to blow past its goal isGameStick, a sort of Raspberry Pi meets Ouya creation that reached its $100,000 goal by day two of its crowdfunding campaign and has already ladled $70,000 more of green gravy on that figure with 27 days still to go.
GameStick is an open-source, Android-based, portable game console meant to turn any screen with an HDMI port into a gaming hub. The entire system consists of a basic handheld controller with a dongle that slides out to plug into the screen and communicate back to the controller via Bluetooth.
All the early-bird $69 units are already spoken for via Kickstarter, but you can still get in on the ground floor at the regular price of $79, which undercuts even the Ouya.
