Not going to get one at launch but I got my eye on this

But luckily with this system you can reserve it so you get it when available.

This is how all console pre orders should be. First come first serve, and they go down the list of who reserved it and let you order it when one is available for you.

Basically makes scalping useless as you’re guaranteed one eventually if you want it

Quick post for reservation information if you’re looking to get one.

Yep,I’m trying to be first in line as soon as the reservations open,I feel like everyone coming for the 256gb mode. I’m just speaking on when they try and mass market these things.

Stuck between that and the 512gb model tbh…..
why must choices be so hard

Me and my gf are splitting the price so I’m leaning towards the 512

OP fully updated

im definitely copping one. the potential is limitless as it is a mini pc with a gamepad and bluetooth. couple that with the upcoming dock and you've got a very intriguing device.

Had to make a new Steam account

No chance I get a pre-order on Sunday

You can still reserve. Unlimited reservations.

Just you’re put behind everyone who reserves today and tomorrow. So you will get yours after us

All I wanna know is can I get Wii and GameCube games to play on this

Yep.

It has a desktop OS and dolphin works great on Linux. Expect to be able to run Wii and GameCube games full speed / 60fps via emulation

Wtf!?? And no special settings either!??? I can just download and go issa wrap this machine gonna have a great launch imo

If your gf splitting with you,definitely go for the 512gb. So much s*** comes with that one. The 256gb one is the best value,I can see the 64gb being discontinued.

You gotta set up the controls on the emulator and choose the video settings. But after that download the ISO’s of the game and just launch them and play them.

This thing can even run ps3 games like skate 3 and demons souls, and even some switch games like Pokémon and odyssey. It can also do the Wii U version of BOTW.

And it also has the entire steam library.

This thing will be a beast

portable skate 3 is gonna be crazy

The AYA NEO which is less powerful than this runs skate 3 flawlessly at 60fps.

Issa wrap

It’s kinda crazy how I randomly bought a Switch Lite like Wednesday cause I wanted a portable gaming device and then they drop this the next day lol.

you sure about the NEO doing 60fps on skate

i saw a different video lemme pull it up

I saw this i saw 5 seconds of it at 60fps

Dips to 25 in a scene, but it doesn’t run as terribly as you show it

But anyways…. This thing blows the AYA NEO out of the water so this will probably run it way better anyways

Mobile Dreamcast games man

But anyways in this video they are playing sword and shield at 20-30 fps

Mario odyssey at 50-60

And BOTW on cemu at a locked 30

im really tryna see Back 4 Blood, Battlefield 2042, Halo Infinite, Dying Light 2 and Elden Ring on this machine

I can see halo Infinite running 60fps on this.

Base Xbox one is supposed to do 60 and this is about as powerful on a lower resolution screen

Elden ring and dying light unsure.

I think it could pull off 30 stable

With skate 3 emulation it has to run at a solid 60fps to feel like it did on the ps3/xbox. Without a solid 60 it feels like low gravity

True, hopefully it can reach a solid 60 on the steamdeck
