[@sunpi]

I need this in my life ! Watching your video to stop my craving haha 😭

[@kat.]

Hahaha I’ll be a bad influence and say get it girl 🤣🤭

[@Designer239]

Sunpi, I do hope that you will be happy with what I’m giving to you from in this channel.

[@shysprout]

love the cozy unboxing!! I feel like these are even harder to get ahold of than a PS5, so it is quite a gem for your collection 🥰

[@kat.]

Thank you lovely 😊 I’m trulyyy grateful bc I know so many that actually got a preorder and still waiting 😩🙏🏻

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Wow what a crazy story! I'm glad you eventually got your steamdeck though haha I'm still waiting on mine, but like you, my main system is the nintendo switch so I don't mind waiting a little longer 😆

[@lpmmxvii7422]

You are able to play OG Nintendo games and current on the steam deck and it's able to play triple AAA games on it. Also its able to emulate pop, ps2, ps3, OG XBOX games as well.

[@TanyaH97]

I love your message on scalpers! ebay and other resale places should really try to regulate that. gaming companies should help too. its ridiculous how much they mark things up when the company could either make the product more available or resale sites could regulate how much you resell them for. Im glad you managed to get one! must be exciting!! Also, your hair looks beautiful!!

[@kat.]

Aww thank you Tanya, you’re too sweet!! Omg my jaw just dropped seeing triple the retail price on eBay 😮‍💨

[@TanyaH97]

@@kat. ❤️❤️ omg i just checked too booooooooo 😒😑 scalpers...its even worse when theres a shortage of materials rn 😢 hope everyone that wants one can get one soon.

[@lorranybastoss]

Can’t wait to get one! By the way, your nails look so good.

[@Dstny25]

Mine is coming on Monday! I’m so excited. I really can’t wait to play the sims for pc portably

[@StarrieMoonlight]

Literally the prime reason I would get one 😌 I hope you're having tho x

[@Dstny25]

@@StarrieMoonlight I had mine for months now and I love it! The sims 4&3 work really well and you can mod it. I recommend getting lots of storage tho because the device storage can fill up fast.

[@kaejaewhy]

This is the exact reason why I bought mine 😭 it’s coming next week❗️

[@Dstny25]

@@kaejaewhy yay! Hope you enjoy it. I still enjoy mine till this day

[@vixtendo]

I am loving all these uploads girly!! I don't think I will be getting a steam deck anytime soon, however it may be a better alternative when I move away for uni in September as the thought of moving my PC setup is stressing me out 😅 great vid as always Kat! 🤍

[@saddestnoodle7029]

enjoy!! the deck is one of the best purchases i think i've made in a good while, its definitely not perfect but its played most of what i've thrown at it, even games that are "unsupported." its been nice just kinda lounging on the couch and playing tales of arise on a handheld haha

[@heyyy_listen]

I’m also such a huge fan of handheld gaming. I think growing up with the gameboy family has been a huge influence on that. The steam deck looks so gorgeous though I hope you’re enjoying it! 🥰

[@AnnaVonEndYT]

Awww congrats on getting one already, so happy for you 😍😍🤗🤗...I pre-ordered mine last June and they first predicted delivery for Q2 2022..but with the delay I am now In Q3 😢🤦 But will focus on the consoles I have already in the meantime and just look forward to autumm with my deck 😍😍

[@flameangel2514]

How does it feel playing the deck? Does it feel comfortable or not due to the weight of it?

[@Downtownkrampus]

I wonder the same thing

[@losteden6390]

It's very comfortable . Very well balanced.

[@lydiafrye1204]

Congratulations, the gaming gods were with you. I pre ordered mine (it’s coming in oct I think) thanks for the great vid can’t wait to see more of your thoughts about the deck

[@kellynemecek5894]

I have such a hard time feeling comfortable with pc gaming controls, so getting to play steam games on a handheld would be so great 😪

[@Pupppeteer]

Steam deck seems like a really useful tool but it also seems like something you could just have a lot of fun with in your downtime while watching a movie haha.

[@jean-pierrejoubert6140]

Glad you could get one; I'm not a PC gamer, but it definitely has me curious, especially for emulation and Indies. Sad to see the scuff, though ... I wonder if it's something Valve covers under warranty or if they can send you a replacement button?

[@ZeroOne130]

They are plenty of videos on emulation. You should watch ThePawk & ETAPrime.

[@gawainian977]

Just bought the OLED 512gb and waiting for it to arrive so I’m binging steam deck unboxings haha

[@jbivphotography]

OMG I CANT WAIT TO GET ONE. I’m in the A2 order group so I should be getting my email soon.

[@SensuAudica]

My date just got pushed forward it seems. It did say Q2 before, now its late Q3. "Oct or later" :(

[@faeerie]

I didn’t even know about this!! I’ve been debating getting a new gaming pc but this may be better for me since I use my Switch all the time. My main question or worry is how many games it supports? Is there a way to check my wishlist on Steam if those games will be supported? I would love to see you go over games you like that can still play on the Steam Deck :) Congrats on getting it 🤍

[@holly1252]

There is a way to check if your games are currently compatible on steam but not sure how to do it, I think its in the game library on pc. There's also a list online of all the games currently playable or compatible with the steam deck which is updated everyday. Any game that isn't playable should be updated so it will be but I think the developer of the game has to agree which I'm sure they would anyways cuz it would mean more sales lol. Hope that helps :)

[@faeerie]

@@holly1252 found the website and a link to my library showing what works and doesn’t!! that helped a bunch, thanks:)

[@blueside9147]

Am excited for the steam deck. Definitely saving up for one. I play pc games and the switch about the same amount, so this will be good for me.

[@rylon_]

Pls make a video on game recs for the steam deck!!

[@Designer239]

I’m a gamer too , but this is my first time seeing that for the first time. But I’m glad that you got it Kat. But my preference is for me only to be on The Switch. But anyway a beautiful video Kat.

[@vSilentangel]

Oh I’m really jealous you got your hands on one of these, I’m still waiting to be able to get mine T.T

[@abraham6567]

Try tiny lands and unpacking both are great on steam deck!

[@joeyjbeck]

The camera: 💕💐💝✨ The audio: 🚨🔇🎚️

[@heatherclark2701]

I'm very intrigued by it but i don't think I can justify it when I have a switch and a gaming PC 🤔 especially since I rarely have time to game at all as it is 😩 did manage to get the PS5 as well, plus I own an Xbox

[@HanonSama]

I was actually thinking of getting one because some steam games are so cute, but I like playing games handheld instead of PC. Are you going to customize it with skins/and or stickers (for the ✨cozy✨ vibe?)

[@crystalgriffith5863]

Looking forward to your next video about the steam deck! Very curious about this system because I don’t have a gaming pc and this would be perfect to finally play cozy Steam games. 😃

[@ChipzNStix]

this was so cool and so chill, you did a great job with the unboxing. I'd be interested to know how you're liking it so far, and are you going to do a full review on it sometime in the future?

[@rachellyons1127]

I just got mine. So far I love I love it

[@PlayfulMonkeycharms]

My husband pre ordered his last year and still hasn’t been able to get his…hopefully he can get his soon. Hope you enjoy it! ❤️ and keep us posted!

[@Thugminista777]

Is it much heavier than the switch chulita ? Are the different versions all with different specs ? It's all digital games right ? Hope you got the dock too ... I'm excited !!! 😊

[@Rich-pj9wv]

The 64GB model has 64GBs of eMMC built in storage, the 256GB and the 512GB models both have the faster NVMe storage. They all have an SD card slot and the 512GB model has an anti glare screen. Everything else is identical between the 3 models except the price of course.

[@Thugminista777]

@Rich Thanks Rich, I noticed no game cartridge either when I did a Google search.

[@Rich-pj9wv]

@@Thugminista777 No, its a digital download from the steam store.

july to september this year. same here even though i ordered 1st day.

[@kenduwilliamson5436]

Getting mine on Friday! Can't wait!

[@markcampbell8590]

Oh I was wondering if you were getting a Steam Deck, glad you managed to find one! This device just seems really cool especially cause you have install emulators and roms including playing your Steam library. I'm still on the fence since I'm mainly a keyboard+mouse guy!

[@YouShotMyRobot]

I got in on the waitlist super late so it will be a while for me, so it’s very exciting to see! Also, I love your nails!

[@kellycavolo5807]

OMG I'm so excited! I can't wait to hear what you think once you've had it for a while. I also can't wait to get the email to order my own 😭

[@mtshark7]

Awesome unboxing Kat!

[@casiesilverman]

Could you do a Q&A video? I’m so interested in your background and the time you lived in the Philippines. 😍 lots of love 💛

[@jillc2700]

Mine should be ready june-sep. hopefully earlier than later! I am excited because my current computer is 10 years old and struggles w any graphics above say, Stardew Valley. (Also, Mac.) The Switch has been my primary gaming device the last couple of years for obvious reasons. Well that and my phone. 😊 hope you have fun w your new console and thanks for bringing us along for the ride! What will you play first?

[@ChristyL0927]

Can''t wait to see your opinions on the deck! I am Q3 so I am still waiting lol. Would also love to see a video of your PC games. Am hoping to get a PC soon and would love some recommendations!

[@violetmoon4785]

I am also intrigued by this. Can you let us know if you need a computer to set this up? can you download games straight from it like you can the switch? I havnt seen much from a switch players POV online so im looking forward to future updates!

[@stratosphere94]

I'm so excited to see more about it from you!

[@PAPERWEIGHTPRODUCTIONS]

What happens when drift starts to happen ... with those analog sticks ughh.. im wondering if nintendo made a patent that only they can have detachable controllers....

[@nakedexposure964]

Valve made it so the thumb sticks are user replaceable, they’re going to be selling them individually soon :)

Please tell me where I can get one! I know I’ll probably have to pre order

[@ravenangelstone8581]

shame that the model of the steam deck is not available where I live.

[@sn0wwhites1991]

I can‘t bring myself to order one because it looks so ugly imo 🙈 the switch is so cute - especially with all the cases I purchased lol 😆

[@kat.]

I looove the customization for the Switch!! Tbh one of the reasons why I was so hesitant with preordering this is cuz I thought it’s so big and clunky. But alas the tech nerd in me is happy to try any new gadget 🤣🤭

[@PocketPixelPortablePower]

You wouldn’t get one even you wanted to. If you didn’t order in July last year, you won’t get one until holiday 2023 at least.

[@reubenfanovich540]

holy crap you are soo fortunate enjoy your steam deck

[@AxelFucker]

Wtf! How did you get it??? Ohh my is it a goodbye switch??? 😂 ✌️

[@Kristian179]

ugh but the Steam Deck is like $100 more than a Switch!

[@Kristian179]

@Calx because it's a handheld & if you wanted a xbox or a pc then go get those, there is no need for a Steam Deck & don't quote me on this, I think the Steam Deck is even cheaper than a mini pc

[@Kristian179]

@Calx who cares the people who buy Switch games buy it for the games they want,they know that they can't expect Halo & etc on the System

[@pixelcount350]

@Calx Bro i still prefer the switch. You really think the steam deck will sell more then the switch you have another thing coming.

[@valenciawalker6498]

Thanks for the review. maybe will consider a steam deck.
