GameStick Backers Will Receive Their Consoles in June, Rather Than April
After the huge success of their Kickstarter campaign, those eagerly awaiting their GameStick consoles will have to wait a little longer than they thought.
As reported by The Verge, an update on GameStick’s Kickstarter page has revealed that the Android system will be in the hands of backers come June, rather than April, as first thought.
When first planning for the GameStick, the company aimed to produce 1,000 consoles using silicon moulds. However, with orders from Kickstarter and various retailers inflating that number, “higher end tooling” from Germany and China is needed. On top of that, the company was going to ship GameSticks via air-freight, but due to the high price, they will now ship via sea-freight.
Without any other setbacks, the consoles will be in transit from about June 10 and those who pledged enough money for the relevant reward tier will get their brand new GameSticks in late June.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
