Yeah that's way fewer than I would have thought. Steam has like 120 million active users, I was kind of expecting about 1% to have placed an order.

Disappointing... already seemed like a long wait especially for people who weren't getting the first few shipped. Hopefully they can expedite things so that they can compress the shipping schedule even if first shipments start later so that later reservations don't have to wait the extra 2 months.

Bunch of new Steam Deck content on youtube in the last 24 hours as the hardware embargo is past.




Looks pretty good, but the fact that the battery is glued in is a serious issue. Interested to see how people get around that one, because the whole "right to repair" thing is a bit moot if you can't swap out the battery on a device that will no doubt be used by most people on battery all the time rather than plugged in and will get a lot of battery wear after a year or two.

Actually? Everything I had heard was no Canadians had gotten theirs. Were you 512gb?

Yeah, I went for the most expensive.

Email came in at 11:24 am though I was slow to get around to paying for it with work, not until just before my post. Hopefully that doesn't push me back for fulfillment.

EDIT: I was probably within the first minute when they came up for preorders if that matters. Lots of practice with PS5, Xbox and Limited Run games preorders LOL!

Not surprising. Valve released CAD files so anyone can make accessories or even 3D print replacement parts.

Not sure if I'll get a case for it. I see the Dbrand isn't releasing theirs until Q3?

I mean, it comes with a case already. I'll just use that.

Sorry, I meant grip instead of case. But yeah, I'm probably jumping the gun. There will probably be a ton of accessories coming out as the release rolls out.

I look forward to hearing your review...I'm still a bit on the fence.

Honestly with Switch, PS5, and Series X I already don't have enough time to play all the games I'd like.

And this would just become another ecosystem to buy games on (don't have much of a steam catalog now).

Feel like it would likely become just a portable emulator / PC Gamepass machine for me if I got it.
