My guess it depends on the support person and the issue during troubleshooting and how much it would likely cost.

14 years now. Got the og deck pre-ordered in first couple months. Used a ton when my kid was born and then stopped for a while and at some point the motherboard died, probably 18 months in.

Used it enough the case had the classic heat fracture on vents too. Repair center called while I was busy at work and stupidly okayed replacing the case lol. Bulk of the cost was mobo I'm sure.

Dang I spent over 200 on my RMA

Valve requires a purchase to reserve. So each burner costs them money. It'd be more work for valve though.

They could preload the purchasers account then to resell it they have to open the product and remove the account and then it's an open box product and can't be sold as new or they don't open it and scalpers accounts exposed.

Oh also the ps5 controller speaker set as default was a horrendous and annoying experience lol

I did that and still wasnt great, but it was better at least.

I want something that works instead of PS5 Bluetooth that cuts off when I put it under my desk. It's a first class controller designed for pc that just works. It also has other cool things like never dying.

There was a batch of reservations that got to order last Friday. People online said they got reservations in 2 min early from announcement. From what I recall and assuming demands like steam deck the first couple batches in the US were like 2 second increments and then gradually increasing to 20 seconds, other countries were luckier and started 30 seconds to minutes.

The reservation opened yesterday and went smoothly. Reservation feature seems to be designed well to be hammered and still work.

Don't regret it cause a lot of people did that and still couldn't get through. The endpoint that everyone was stuck on affected every payment method. Still gives you more options I guess.

Using DDR4 would probably break support for suspend / resume functionality. I remember reading the speed from DDR5 was what allowed it to function so well.

The steam deck already does limit charging to 80% after being plugged in for an extended period of time so the battery cells will still have a charge but no be in the harmful range.

Saw this interesting 3d print design that might inspire you

I read fallout 2 in your comment and had to reread again lol

I read Fallout and was very confused.

I tried 3 because of the good memories. Made it as far as toy story and lost interest.

Valve patched proton so on Linux in general it performed better until either the game or GPU drivers got an update.

This is impressive the tldr made it one word longer!
