thanks breh
do you have a screen protector on the screen?

Nah. The screen itself is pretty durable. Depending you how you are with handhelds, you could go for it...but I wouldn't since the case itself is good enough for me.

I mainly been using to remote play from the ps5. I'm too lazy to sit on my couch to play.

Just a button press breh

 

[Deltron]

I'm tempted

it's a worthwhile purchase investment, especially if you wanna game on the go with more than nintendo exclusives on a switch. Playing RE2 remake on it is nice

How is this on a plane?
Anyone have experience?

I like it. I would suggest preparing the titles you want to play before hand to play offline. I decided to start replaying GTA 5, but you need to establish an online connection first before playing without one moving forward, and I was on the tarmac, and I didn't pay for in flight wifi for this trip because it was such a short flight. So I was rushing to connect to my wireless hotspot before I put my phone in airplane mode. It connected and did it's thing, but it's best to get everything prepared before hand.

Sandisk because they are the most reliable, but if you want more bang for the buck...I would rock with Samsung since they usually have micro sd's for fair prices with the space you get.


IF YOU SEE A MICRO SD CARD WITH LARGE SPACE FOR 10 DOLLARS....DON'T BUY IT!!

Nah you good breh I would rather you ask the questions and embracing the GOAT Deck, over having buyer's remorse. Thats what this thread is here for. Once you realize how lit this machine is, you going to see why folks hyping this shyt up to the moon. Its basically what the PS Vita should have been.

I’m probably gonna break down for a 3rd time and buy this shyt lmaooo…first time was a preorder that I canceled and 2nd time was recently lol…but I really like the fact that ultimately I can play switch, PS5 and xbox/PC games on it…granted there’s a lot of tinkering around to get to that point and then there’s the battery life
