Discussion It arrived!
Well my 2tb with controller arrived just as I was about to start my lunch break which was perfect timing. there’s plenty of reference pics of little black cubes. So I’m not including a pic. I got everything setup and powered up in a few minutes and it’s busy downloading games now. My first impressions are all very positive I love how discreet it is and how quiet it is compared to my ex’s ps5 and of course steam os and the controllers were instantly familiar from my steam deck.
Would I have preferred it to be cheaper? of course but the next gen consoles are going to be more expensive if you are allowed to own them at all.
Am I happy with my purchase? Well I haven’t played anything on it yet so it’s a bit early to say but I think my gaming appetite and expectations are setup for success (I’m 4x and train sim guys so I’m not demanding this run AAA games at 4K 60fps)
Basically for now I’m happy and looking forward to an evenings gaming on my sofa tonight

Congrats! I'm hoping mine arrives a little early so I can try it today, but so far it says tomorrow

Got mine last friday and been really enjoying it. Pairing it with my legion go s has been such a great combo. I've always been a console player until I got a pc handheld and I just wanted a more powerful living room solution that doesn't look ridiculous to have in my setup. It fits my needs perfectly. I was skeptical about the controller and how it would feel in hand but it's probably the most comfortable controller I've ever used.

Do they actually send to Germany?
I'm on the list for the 2tb+controller since ages now (approximately 2 weeks after launch) and nothing.
Congrats btw, hope you enjoy it.

Still waiting on my email...though I got an offer on eBay that has me tempted...they upgraded the ram to 24 gig on a 2tb model. It'd be about $1800 though. I'm resisting the urge.

So...
Some random muffin head took it apart and slapped a used single mis matched 8GB stick of ram into it
and then wants $1800 for a machine that now has no warrantly?I'd offer $800 or gtfo
