"Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated, and we hate that not everyone who wanted one was able to get it. We’re working on getting more in stock and will have an update on expected timeline soon."

Meanwhile the flipping Deck is still out of stock.

It wouldn't surprise me if it will stay out of stock until ram prices come down (if ever) :/

I mean it is pretty long in the tooth at this point, with a growing number of games that it is not powerful enough to run.

It still works well enough still from me helping my kid set up theirs, though I do hope they update it again, maybe with a 2280 slot for a larger storage capacity as the 2TB max of a 2230 even when you upgrade it is kinda meh for PC games that can easily break 100GB.

It's pretty rough trying to get by on 512 gb.

[-] Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

It maxes at 4TB, same as my tablet, put the games and programs on the 2TB SSD and drop all the media on the 2TB SD, Kodi picks up the external media fine and moving all my music and videos to the card keeps the internal down.

I do need to dump a lot of stuff to put something new on, pretty much the largest I keep installed is No Man's Sky, keep wanting to replay BG3 but haven't because it is over 150 GB all on its own.

Seems the Linux native stuff takes a LOT less space, unless it's an AppImage or one of those crappy Flatpaks, but even with Linux increasing in popularity not a lot of devs bother with adding a port since "Just run it through Proton" is the accepted answer now.
