The idea of the Steam game boy isn't bad, but I'd want to actually hold one in my hands and try it out before even considering spending a dime. As others have pointed out, the layout seems weird and I have the sense that the screen is way too small for my tired eyes. PC games weren't designed for small screens. UI for ants, etc. Also, won't it get really hot?

It's max 15w which should be alright, Switch could draw 11w at peak.

pyrotek posted:At least in the US, you won't be voiding your warranty by opening it up and adding/replacing the SSD. Whether or not it is easy to do or you will damage it trying is a different issue. This is legally true, but the FTC is not being forthwith with the enforcement/fines when they catch any company not allowing repairs or replacement not done by the company itself. Even after the 2018 clarification and especially during 2020 when devices needing repair rates went through the roof. There will be guides within a week of release detailing how to open it and what it looks like inside. Plus the dumb sticker removal game has vastly improved beyond exacto knifing.

Play posted:I was being glib but you can't tell me that many people, seeing three different variations of something with one being the 'best,' instantly just decide they want that one. I only heard the NVME was soldered in, and I'm a storage whore so that's the only reason I preordered the 512. It was only $5 and I'll cancel whenever if it turns out to suck or can customize, esp since I'm not expecting anything for at least a year from now. e: I only did this cause I've seen the rest of the bullshit with PS5/Graphics Cards.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/164676728659 For US goons there's eBay sellers selling large numbers of BG4 SSDs $200 for 1TB, less than the $250 premium for the 512GB Deck SKU This is all assuming it's reasonably easy to take the Deck apart and install a drive though

And that's without Windows. If I had Windows on the drive I could maybe fit one more single player game.

Nalin posted:Same. According to my e-mail, which arrived at 10:04am, I placed the order at 10:00am. The div with the expected date text is empty, so I guess this means we are wave 1? I'm suspecting that might be the case. My issue date says 10:00 am for the 512 deck and my text div is also empty for that.

I ordered at 10:08 and mine had no estimated time either. Then I realized I ordered with the wrong credit card and canceled + re-ordered by 10:15am and it showed Q1 2022.

I was thinking to myself that I'd really want to hold one of these in my hands and see how I actually like the layout. Where could that possibly happen? They need to do showrooms or something. Partner with a store maybe. I mean obviously "just have friends" but that's the answer to everything.

Wonder if they will offer any sort of OS level customization that will allow people to play games with no native controller support, or if that would need to be handled by mods/steamdeck users being SOL until they dock it.

Steam has let you customise controls to an insanely granular degree for years now. That's also why the touchpads are there; at their most basic they function as mouse trackpads, but you can also assign them to screen regions for quick selecting hotbar buttons, or even create custom action menus with them. There's a world of incredible controller setups out there that a lot of people appear to have completely ignored the existence of, so I'm hoping that the Steam Deck opens that up to a lot more people. E: that video is a pretty good example, even if competitive StarCraft is a bit more than the Steam controller can realistically handle.

In for the 512 GB version. Waiting for my PS5 taught me some patience (preordered Nov 2, delivered this week  ) so I'm not too bothered by the estimates.

I know there's a 100% chance that the steam deck is going to be made in china. But part of me hopes valve would find a way to assemble it in the US, like they did with the steam controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCgnWqoP4MM

That whole setup looks expensive as gently caress, they must have lost a ton of money on the Steam controllers. I picked one up for £5 when they were clearing out all their old stock (and never used it)

I had heard someone talk about it on a podcast, then the next day I was looking at AC install packages from a local vendor and the sales guy whipped out three options and it all became clear to me. The best part is knowing about these tactics doesn’t stop it from working on you!
