I got behind on TV shows and games, so just decided to cancel my reservation instead of adding to my backlog, maybe wait to see how they update it and how things go.

But does anyone have one currently? Want to hear some thoughts and how the emulators are working on it as well

I don’t have one, but the handful of people I know online who have one seem to love it.

According to all the online estimators, I should be getting my email in the next week or two. I’ll report back. Seems like it’s amazing so far

These companies can frick off with their new hardware until the supply chain shortages are over

I got my email from steam on Friday night while drinking, forgot about it, and by the time I remembered my order has passed

What estimator are you using? What day and time did you reserve? I'm showing Q3, but I'm paranoid that I'm going to end up missing the email.

I thought they give you like a 2-3 day grace period if you email them or something

No, but if you end up getting one let us know what you think as well.

I bought mine just to bring along when I travel, but I've been playing it every day since I got it a few months ago

It's an awesome little device, I highly recommend getting a spot in line for one if you're on the fence.

I have a Switch for that right now with a nice little backlog already

Have you messed around with any emulators?

Just pcsx2 (PS2 Emulator) so far, but it's run everything I've thrown at it at full speed so far. It can basically run any emulator you can dream of except for PS3/XBOX360, which will be hit or miss right now

How do you figure out when yours should be close? I’m Q3.

Just got the email to confirm shipping and process payment. Estimator told me 7/18 as of latest estimate, so I'm early

Beautiful

Loving mine after the first week, been slaying my backlog plus playing though the Mass Effect trilogy again (it’s fricking awesome on the Deck).

Refresh rate slider is a game changer, makes the experience so much more smooth setting to 40 on newer games like Days Gone which I thought would have been impossible running high on this thing. Also playing stuff like Spec Ops look great on this thing and run flawlessly. Been picking up a lot of stuff I missed that gen to play on the Deck.

Mine came in Saturday. Absolutely loving it so far. PC games play great and emulation is a dream. I've had a hobby of modding handhelds for emulation, but this makes them all obsolete. I'm putting WiiU games on it now.
