I prefer the more ecofriendly boxing of the steam deck. less waste. I don't need frills. I throw away enough of the fru fru stuff that just takes up space.

[@daviddamasceno6063]

I love to know all the little details. Nitpics are important! I appreciate you sharing all your thoughts and impressions about the unboxing experience and the actual hardware :)

[@barryklinedinst6233]

My deck comes Wednesday. I'm so excited. My wife is like that's it. NO MORE TOYS. I said honey....... I didn't find a PS5 yet. And laser beams shot out of her eyes. It's a good thing I avoided her shot. Someone tell me what to do .......

[@Hughesburner]

My Deck is arriving tomorrow, same deck. I already sold my gaming PC to fund part of it as I never sit at a desk and game anymore. Most of the games I actually finish are on Switch and 3DS, I have a whole Steam library of half started games. I am excited to get at them again. Also am a Star Wars fan, although I just sold all my shirts, I was tired of having the same stupid Mandalorian conversation in public and how the current state of Disney ruins everything. I look forward to your next vid.

[@BonusCrook]

If you dont already have subnautica and doom eternal/doom 2016 those are good. Also i thought kenobi was good.

[@Harvey2Tall]

Part of it? Did you sell a potato PC? Lol

[@Hughesburner]

@@Harvey2Tall I sold the CPU/MB/Ram/PS, I really don't understand your comment but by the nature of it, I think there is little you understand in general.

[@Harvey2Tall]

@@Hughesburner I was giving you a hard time about selling your PC and with how much money you could be selling it for. Settle down little guy.

[@Hughesburner]

@@Harvey2Tall I have been buying/selling PC parts for 20yrs...I am good, thanks friend.

[@rometherevenant8749]

Man i cant wait for mine to get here.. still waiting on my email and man its taking forever

[@sybsygstgstsgysg5330]

I’ve been thinking about it, and I have decided I’m gonna put down the 5 dollar deposit or whatever

[@allhandsonsteamdeck1440]

THIS GUY HAS A STEAM DECK BUT HE'S GOING ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT HOW HE DOESN'T LIKE THE BOX I DON'T GET THESE PEOPLE I DON'T GET THEM AT ALL

[@REXae86]

Caps lock is on.

[@ChristopherToro]

It deserves a better box for sure, because it's such a great product.

[@ChristopherToro]

With the initial Split pad pro for the switch, it's just as long as the steam deck, and I used those joycons since the first year of the Switch's life cycle. The Steam Deck's controls feel better than the Split pad pro and it's about the same size.

[@julienmelnick]

Yea that is true. I really like the feel of the deck.

[@Mingodough]

Can you fit the split pad pro attached to switch in the steam deck case?

[@TacomaPride]

Happy for u man! 👊 Don’t keep us waiting to long on some gameplay.

[@julienmelnick]

Soon my friend.

[@doomnationalist]

This guy's beard is both majestic and scary at the same time lol. Chewbacca would be jealous...

[@walterkovacs5145]

You need to pick up the half-life games! They're steam exclusives. Amazing games. If you haven't portal then I recommend getting the Valve Complete Pack. Comes with all of them included with other games for 13 bucks. It's also good to look at what your friends own or recommend. If you want steam friends just let us know.

[@ChristopherToro]

Not steam exclusives, but they're amazing games for sure. I don't regret installing all of them on my Steam Deck.

[@nickk3403]

Had to get from a scalper got sick of waiting. They kept pushing ‘e from Q2 to now Q3 October. Getting mine on Monday. Still keeping my reservation and sell to my friend

[@baletion]

I just purchased my steam deck 512 gb greetings from germany mate

[@julienmelnick]

Heck yea man. It’s a beast of a machine

[@BonusCrook]

I WOULD help you put with helping you part out a PC but you got your steam deck and im jealous lol

[@josephavina6547]

Nice! If I end up with one they have you to thank. My son has been bugging me about a PC so you can play games with mods… I would dig some feedback weather it would be a good start for someone interested in playing GTA mods and the likes.

[@josephavina6547]

@OddKashi Dang it! Adding it to my list, after a new TV. lol Thanks

[@eprohoda]

Salut! Omg~ super , all the best~brother~

[@julienmelnick]

Thank you very much

[@Sojourner_Tyson]

I kiiiiiiiinda wish I picked one of these up haha. To me, they look super cool!

[@julienmelnick]

You should!

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

New sub! Liked 🌟✌️

[@X862go]

awsome !

[@Luis_Angel_Zacarias]

I like this videos.

[@julienmelnick]

Thank you

[@stevenhoughton1406]

At the moment I'm disappointed with the Steam Deck I have over 60 games in my Steam library and only 3 are verified to work on Steam Deck.

[@og2shankz985]

They don’t have to be verified to play them

[@1.gio.1]

You can play most of them by forcing proton

[@_bluehelix_7701]

Great unboxing, but the lighting was poor on the deck and your second camera showed us everything upside down...

[@julienmelnick]

Noted!

[@Kamran52526]

did you buy this device to unbox it or to actually play it? lmao so prestigious "not what i was expecting"

[@julienmelnick]

To play it for sure

[@Irishgamer01]

I thought they band MAC users from buying STEAMDECK as it is good value and that might frighten APPLE users as they didn't over pay for their hardware.

[@julienmelnick]

Good effort. Little too wordy. Love the heart though. Keep at it.

[@jeremymerry7967]

you also most likely wont get stick drift unlike with the switches shitty sticks

[@jeremymerry7967]

i had to open up my joycon to replace the stick because of drift and i wasnt about to pay 80$ for another joycon

[@Mkilbride2599]

I'm sorry, but money is an issue and you're a Mac guy?

[@julienmelnick]

I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at?

[@KomaedasOneTrueHope]

@@julienmelnick they are saying Mac is expensive 😅

[@Nmc3344]

yay

[@julienmelnick]

I am stoked

[@princewhitely7981]

Wait did he say financially windows his not his cup of coffee well as far as I know every single apple product is well overpriced and financially most consumers will go with the cheaper more user friendly devices android and windows but everybody have their preferences

[@julienmelnick]

Who are you talking to

[@mariorivera6292]

Guys, you can skip all his yapping bullshit and go to 7:25 for the meat and potatoes.

[@julienmelnick]

Thanks for your help.

[@hrk4evr]

Talks a Loooooot !!
