Shame - The item is great hence 5 star review. Such a shame about the lack of communication and delivery delay. I ordered on 18th October and didn’t arrive until today 31st October because seller didn’t hand over to UPS carrier until day before. In fairness to seller did eventually apologise and agreed communication could have been better so i appreciated that in the end. The console is very good and easy to set up. No problems at all. Hopefully delivery and comms improves for this seller as item is great. Review: Fantastic item - Amazing item. Really easy to set up. Seller fantastic to deal with. More than pleased. Brilliant. ## Features - Faster storage - Carrying case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B7KFFKT5 | | ASIN | B0B7KFFKT5 | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

This is actually priced appropriately for the 256GB Version with the anti-glare screen **Q: Is this a scam?** A: By scam do you mean charging 200 more for something that is readily available from valve .. then yea . But if you mean if the steam deck itself a scam no it’s some BA hardware **Q: Will this play star citizen?** A: Yes version 6 or better software will run the game and there is a plugin available for assistance with control sets. **Q: Can you play PS4 games on this?** A: If there is a Steam port of a PS4 game then yes, but it does not natively run the PlayStation Store. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item delivery not so good.
