Do you have yours reserved?

[such]

Kinda wish I jumped on this earlier, now that i think of it.

It would be very useful to know whether 2022 is even possible, though, so I'm eagerly awaiting updates on those estimates.

That said, lumping 90% of pre-pre-orders together into a single "After Q2" period that's still there after the official release makes me suspect they have even less control or awareness of the manufactoring process down the line than you could suspect. Or, they're just REALLY careful, which does fit Valve as well, I suppose.

Seems they’ve updated the estimates, my ‘after Q2’ is now ‘Q3 2022’.

Same here

Well, mine is now "After Q3 2022", so still pretty much unknown.

Reserved day one and am in Q2.

Thankfully only a month away.

True. I saw an article about it this morning (I think it was this one, but not sure: https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/steam-deck-pre-orders-being-delayed-for-some-users-3178074)

My own pre-order is still set on Q2, but it wouldn't surprise me if it changes (just as covid starts to clear, there's another major conflict going on in the world).

Ordered mine yetserday and placed a deposit....for the 512 GB Model

Could someone give me a Tip for a good MIrco SD card to place in the Deck or is there a better solution?

If you reserved it yesterday then you might not get it till next year so it's probably not worth looking at micro SD cards till then as they are bound to get much cheaper than now.

I ordered my 512GB one back on July 2021 within hours of opening of reservations and I'm still waiting... So, welcome to the club

 

[Blauhasenpopo]

Yessas....so....take a Tea and wait....and wait....and cry

 

[subcon959]

You will probably get it much quicker if you reserve the 64GB model instead. So far, they have shipped the first 40 hours of 64GB orders and only 10 hours of 512GB for the EU.

Yes...but...actually no

 

[Taleweaver]

I know it's not good news, but you'll still get it earlier than quite some other countries for which the queue hasn't even opened yet.

Where did you get these numbers from?

If these are true I'll need to include my last October Steam Deck pre-order in my will and anyone reserving theirs only now will probably need to pass their pre-order multiple generations down. Even if this pace will slowly ramp up that'll still mean a hardware revision is likely to release before some people will get their OG Deck.

A 512Tb-1Pb SD should be enough once you actually get it, probably.

Basically, those shipping numbers are so ridiculous they're actually funny.

 

[Skelletonike]

Still waiting, although I'm ok with the wait at the time since cash is a bit tight atm (wasn't when I ordered)

 

[sarkwalvein]

Where did you get these numbers from?

You can get them from the many spreadsheets and ongoing data gathering performed by bored people waiting for their steam deck in reddit. Google for Steam Deck Date Calculator.

These numbers are legit.

PS: they even created some algorithms you estimate the day your steam deck will arrive based on the exact timestamp of your reservation. It seems accurate. Also, my steam deck EU 512GB was ordered some 20 hours after reservations started, around one year ago, and I still don't have my deck.

Thanks.

So that calculator tells me either August 2022 (which is way ahead of Steam's estimates, which place my order sometime at end of 2022), or... sometime in 2072, which seems accurate given the numbers above.

I guess I should start getting busy for these 50 or so years. Maybe play some games, read a book, plan my funeral...

Yup! In late January.
I went for the best version. Unsure exactly how much of a difference there is between the screens but I figured it's a good idea to go with the presumably most robust one. Besides, I've got until after Q2 to budget one.
It'll be nice having that 512GB NVMe to transfer the majority of my games onto right away.

I hear there are 2TB m.2 2230 SSDs and 2TB mSD cards coming possibly this year. That'll be exciting. 4TB? All my games and high quality lossy music and a couple movies or shows?

 

[Taleweaver]

Hmm...I've used the moo calculator some months ago (https://steam-deck-calculator.web.app/), and it said (and still says) my expected date is upcoming monday (23/5).
Now I tried the hoxeel calculator (https://replit.com/@jplayzgamegm/SDDC?v=1) and it puts me at 30/5.

Though the former has more data points to extrapolate from (whee ), both are still at best estimates. Either way...It's time to watch my mailbox more closely now.
