Indeed. It's just a cash-grab device exploiting nostalgia.
The software it uses, amiberry, is open source and was made for the more powerful, useful and common Raspberry Pi boards. Getting one of these is a much better idea.
I wouldn't go _that_ far because the case, mouse, and controller are actually really good quality. But yeah, the bundled games are a bit underwhelming and ultimately it's just a Linux/Emulator box.
I wish someone would make an Amiga shell for a Raspberry Pi that's quality like that. I can 3D print my own, but injection molded plastic is still a quality level above.
