I wish i could've preordered it, but i still don't have a proper job, maybe next year.

I'm not a Steam user but my younger family members are. I was going to get them one but they already ordered one. I have a good setup going with my native library and emulators on my phone with a gamepad.

Moved to the new Steam Deck category.

I'm interested in the Deck, but I'm waiting for reports from early adopters before I'll decide if I want to buy it. If anything, it'll make for a nice second PC.

Preordered on the 17th July last year.. patiently waiting...

I don't preorder anything, but I'm closely watching the release.

I reserved one the first day it was available. I've been waiting for just the occasion to potentially replace my gaming tower (old Dell OptiPlex 7010 with GTX970, about a decade old and has gone through 2 motherboard replacements in that time). Looking forward to having a gaming tower (replacement) that I can pick up and take with me anywhere :D

I'm especially looking forward to seeing what docks become available, as well as how well the deck will work if I'm primarily using a PS5 controller.

I'll likely repurpose my gaming tower to be the primary device connected to my projector and surround sound speakers (aka my cheap DIY at-home movie theater).

I also reserved one last year and I'm exited for the dock. It's probably going to replace my XBox and my (already dead) HTPC.

It is not a pre-order. It is a reservation.

Based on the consoles I own and the new GPU I spent money on for the PC recently, I don't see myself getting a Steam Deck until end of year or next year. I kinda hope I don't get one because I feel like I have plenty of gaming hardware and all my bases are already covered... so it would have to replace something, like the Nintendo Switch, of which I'm not the only user.

Translation:

I'll end up buying one !
