GLS, apparently

[Edit] Shipping from the Netherlands though, so no idea which UK agent will handle it

Looks like it is parcel force for the UK handling..

ok cool thanks

My will power failed me tonight !

It's the Mrs fault she said she would use it too

Ah didn't get mine shipped today. Oh well hopefully will be here this week. I have tons of games lined up to play. Going to start with Valheim

 

[kakarott]

Does this actually work?

 

[Si.]

I noticed zero difference..

Mine left the netherlands on the 17th. I've been desperately refreshing my shipping tracker all day on GLS & Parcelforce.

The wait is killing me

Your lucky! Mines still in waiting to be collected by the courier

 

[gilljoy]

ok I have £5 left from my 10% refund.
Is disco elisium worth grabbing to play through on the deck?

I noticed zero difference..

So it's placebo?

My Deck and dock landed in the UK at 2am this morning. Let's see how long it takes parcelforce to turn it around...

[Edit] Parcelforce shows it as in the local depot only a few miles away

I have to say I really love the Steam Deck, had mines about 8 months or so and I use it almost every evening. There's regular software updates, I love this thing!

Same here, i've gotta go out for an hour today.. You know exactly when they are going to try and deliver it, don't we lol..

I was really unsure about buying a Deck. I half expected it to be a dust magnet however I too am really impressed with it.
it's not perfect..... if I could change 1 thing about the handset ittself it would be the screen.
compared to my lads OLED switch it's a poor imitation (and looking at the bezel size and room around the screen I wonder if valve have built it with a future model with improved screen in mind?)
but aside from that it's great.

oh and also dissapointed I could not use my lads switch dock (with an extension cable) to hook up to a TV. but that appears to be Nintendo at fault not using standard protocols.

The £315 deck is now out of stock, I was too slow!

Edit: what’s the cost of the SSD upgrade to say 256 or 512gb?

 

[McPhee]

Caved in this morning...

but the 64GB model is now OOS The more expensive models don't offer enough to justify the price difference, so I guess I'll wait until the next sale.

 

[sprite1275]

Is there much difference between nvme Vs emmc?
Just trying to figure out if the 256gb is worth it.

No there isn't.

Keep looking, they said that a couple of days ago and then came back in-stock later on that day. So hopefully it's just temporary.

I've just upgraded my deck to a 2TB SSD. Managed to clone my original dual boot drive too, so no need to reinstall.
