Analogue has announced Analogue Pocket preorders are reopening, but with a price increase to offset increasing global supply chain issues.
While the Analogue Pocket was delayed earlier this year into October, also due to supply chain issues, it was again delayed to have shipments finally start going out in December 2021.
Now that Analogue Pocket preorders are reopening, they’ll be available to pre-order the day after shipments for the original pre-order customers go out, December 14th at 8 AM Pacific / 11 AM Eastern. The price hike sees the hotly anticipated handheld go from $199 to $219.
The only time pre-orders for the Analogue Pocket were available, they sold out instantly thanks to very evil scalpers and bots, so Analogue said their goal this time is to ensure everyone that wants an Analogue Pocket can order one. Any pre-orders can be cancelled prior to shipment for a full refund.
To make this possible, Analogue has outlined three pre-order groups that will be facilitated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Group A will get their Analogue Pockets soon in Q1 2022, Group B will get their Analogue Pockets in Q4 2022, and finally Group C will have to wait a year or more into 2023.
If you’re looking to finally get your hands on an Analogue Pocket, make sure you bookmark their official website and set an alarm for December 14th, at 8 AM PST / 11 AM EST.
