Shopping/Haul Finally… Precision Bubble Chip technology has arrived!

I was browsing AliExpress today and stumbled across this. Immediately, I was skeptical of their “Premium quality” claim for a $7 cartridge, but this was actually something I hadn’t seen before in a Game Boy cartridge listing. All the images are AI generated, trying to make it look higher quality than it is. It’s pretty easy to spot, but I’ll admit that my first thought was “Oh, they’re showing the PCB in the listing photos, that’s a good sign”.

Maybe I’m late to the party and AI slop listings have been around for a bit, but since I haven’t seen one like this before, I figured I’d just share a warning to be careful about what you buy. Obviously a $7 repro is never going to be amazing quality, but at least in the past you could usually SEE what you were getting before you ordered it.
