How can it coincide with the launch of PS5 Pro in Q4 2024 if it's not out until 2025?

Be nice if GTA 6 comes out end of 2024 of course. I too will be buying a PS5 Pro

Because a lot of people will have the PS5 pro by the time the game comes out.

Plus rockstar will probably want a bit of time to test the game on the final hardware, although apparently, PS5 Pro dev kits have already been sent out to some game developers.

I'll probably grab a PS5 Pro as soon as it launches. Not had any PS5 yet!
Don't own any consoles besides the Switch!

So not only is BOE producing very poor quality OLED screens on the Steam Deck with dead pixels they are having quality issues on the iPhone 15 now. Really wish companies would stop using BOE as all they seem to be producing at the moment is just crap.

Doesnt seem to have any issues yet that I can see. Installed some games on it but will give it a proper testing laters.

Pretty quick then, especially as nothing would have happened til Thursday, only three working days.

Here's hoping those that ordered later in last week receive later this week!

Did your GLS tracking ever update?

But they are the Best on Earth??

This problem is only effecting Limited Edition models as far as I'm aware? Almost as if Valve wanted rid of the panels as quick as possible so that BOE get paid before the ban...

Mine arrived today (12 business days) and the GLS tracking did update today as it processed through but they didn't advise that they were going to attempt delivery today (nothing from Parcelforce either who delivered it). Interesting that it didn't show up as in the UK on the GLS tracking until 0330 this morning.

The one day I didn't look at the tracking first thing in the morning. Lucky that someone was home to accept the delivery.

Currently in Morocco….saw a Steam Deck being sold in some random electronic store in a mall, that also sells PS5 for £800!…..the Steam Deck….9999 (Moroccan currency), works out to like £900!!! Didn’t check which spec but even at the top one it is still insane.

They do fetch quite a premium in the many countries that Valve don’t sell hardware in.

Mines in the UK. Tracking has 2 listings for the UK, hours apart, so I’m hoping I’ll get it this week. Micro SD Card and Screen Protector sat in my desk drawer at work in anticipation.

The screen protector arrived yesterday and the guy at work who’s fault it is I’ve bought the Steam Deck, he brings it every day to play a game at lunch, currently Hades, asked me to install one for him and he’d order another one to replace it. So I did as it was practice for mine. Have to say that the guide that you put over the SD made it the easiest protector I’ve ever installed.

Was playing Endless Dungeon last night, great fit for the deck, runs and looks brilliant. Although I stayed on it a bit too late as it's one of those, "I'll just open one more door and see what's what"

Barry is delivering it between 1010 and 1110 today. Oooooooo.

Seems like now the initial rush is over they’re being delivered in good time.

Nice!

Mine arrived in Coventry in the early hours and I'm not far away at all, so hoping I can get it today or tomorrow.

3-4 total days would be ace for delivery.

EDIT - Out for delivery between 1-5pm Order on Saturday too!

Ordered Monday night but not had anything yet aside from the thanks for your purchase email. How long did it take for you guys to get tracking info?

 

[LadFromWales]

Out for delivery too!

Where are you guys getting the drivers name and time? Mine just says out for delivery on parcel force...

I got a valve email about order being dispatched the morning after I ordered, and handed over to GLS.

I have it on both the Parcelforce email and on their tracking page. Can also see a live image of their current location.
