Apparently there’s a trend of them being stolen by couriers because the distributor is putting the contents on the packaging label and they scalp on eBay for 2-3x the RRP.

Mine has just shipped this afternoon.


Have you seen this happening in the EU? I saw a lot on Reddit about FedEX in the USA.

That was me yesterday.

Almost regretting going for the 512GB model now. If I'd ordered the 64GB at the same time, it looks like it would have been delivered by now. And I probably could have ordered and replaced the storage for less than the difference by now as well.

Oh well, maybe the 512GB model will arrive in time for me to play it outside in the sun a couple of times before the summer is over to justify it.

I was going to say that it sounds like it was waiting to clear customs. That's usually the biggest delay when something is coming in from outside the UK and tracking pages don't always explain it clearly enough.

Hope you get it tomorrow man. :D

Aye I had 1day 8 hours left to pay. I had checked earlier that Monday. It was a pop up on steam on my pc saying I had to complete purchase which alerted me so even if you miss email steam should should still notify you.

Hey I also got a 256gb 2230 nvme off eBay. Seems like a no brainier. I’ll get a bigger one at some point but that plus a 256gb sd is a good start.

What is the first thing everyone is planning on installing on the Deck when they get it.

Torn between immediately getting Dolphin installed or going for something more recent. Gonna go wild at the next steam sale I think.

EDIT: Actually, Sonic Mania is usually one of my go to games for a new system so probably that.

I’m waiting for my usb dock to arrive and the 256gb nvme to arrive before I really get stuck in. Going straight for a emu deck set up.

First impressions are the UI isn’t as slick as I was expecting from the videos I watched. Keep finding the screen hanging when exiting a game or app. Not sure what’s going on.

The screen is a thing of beauty. Only played half life 2 so far might download elden ring and give that a blast.

If I had a Deck right now, I'd be playing Vampire Survivors constantly.

Probably finally start some of my visual novel type games as well like Danganronpa 2, The Nonary Games, Night Call and Overboard.
