Its deadline is on Friday 1st February. The console is playable by inserting the GameStick into the HDMI slot of any television.Since PlayJam published concept images, it has incorporated community feedback into the final design of the controller and hardware by modifying the grips and moving the housing for the HDMI stick to the rear of the controller.The GameStick itself now supports an expandable 32GB MicroSD card slot and a docking station has been announced in order to support peripherals and more storage.“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.” said PlayJam 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.”
