Gamestick, the portable Android-powered console, is now available to pre-order. The innovative console, that was recently funded on Kickstarter, is set to cost $79.99 (that's £51.54 at the time of writing) and is set to be released on April 30. It's not the most powerful machine (it's got an Amlogic 8726-MXS processor, and 1GB DDR3 / 8GB NAND memory), but the affordable pricing is likely to make it quite popular for those with a restricted budget.

"January was a pivotal month for GameStick with the success of the campaign ensuring that we could bring the device to life," said PlayJam's Anthony Johnson.

"Since the campaign closed, we have received thousands of e-mails from individuals keen to ensure they remain one of the first to receive the product. By continuing to offer GameStick on pre-order, we will be able to maintain momentum ahead of our planned retail activity".

On top of the basic SKU, there are also a couple of peripherals you can pick up for the console. You can view them here.
