I bought my Steam Deck so that I could have a portable emulator for all my Nintendo Switch games.Stream Boys are nothing like Nintendo boys such as @Falcs
They're working on windows dual boot so Microsoft gets its own handheld & they don't even have to pay to manufacture it 
Dude it’s a handheld that plays Steam games, not really a difficult piece of hardware to grasp conceptually.
My first Pro was the limited Star Wars edition, and it HOWLED. That’s why I traded it in.Yeah I honestly don’t remember noise being an issue. Don’t people have the sound going anyway?
lol it was a very well known issue, it was kind of a meme, and it was prominent enough that Mark Cerny even mentioned it in his PS5 presentationYeah I honestly don’t remember noise being an issue. Don’t people have the sound going anyway?
I traded my brother my ps4 pro for his ps4 slim
I never regretted it.
it's the opposite. i rarely use it outside the house. mostly i use it laying down on the couch with a 65" oled looking at me funny.
So that’s what I mean, why play on such a weak chipset when you can stream full fat gfx from a desktop?
that's what i'm saying about "something magical". it's the combination of great ergonomics, easy ui, and being totally self-contained. it's the quickest route to rocket league.
I got it at launch so I got fucked over with the PS4 hair dryer edition
Microsoft already had their own with the Rog Ally. LolThey're working on windows dual boot so Microsoft gets its own handheld & they don't even have to pay to manufacture it
I traded mine in for the final revision using the Black Friday promo at EBGames, got the NHL 2020 bundle and traded the game in on the spot for an additional $50 off. I paid $70 for the upgrade.
Valve probably making out better than MS on the Ally. The Steam full screen UI is still way better than anything elseon Windows.
Same here, I will be on the lookout for the new one, which is supposedly coming in 2-3 years, it better have OLED from the start and a vastly improoved battery life.Motherfuckers! I only bought mine earlier this year!
Not really an upgrade it's just not got the problem that it shouldn't have had in the first place
Interesting. Was that the white one? I can't remember, but I did have a white one and it was on my desk at times. Don't remember it being a problem personally. Must have been some variation?
No, the Star Wars Battlefront II Pro was black with a gloss top with empire and rebellion logos on it. Apparently the whole run of that edition had major noise and overheating issues.
Yikes. Well I believe it happened. I just never had the jet engine experience with my PS4s.
Maybe all the music is making me deaf.
Nah, some runs are worse than the baseline. Hell, my first PlayStation came from a batch that Sony pulled from retailers due to the drives being screwy.
