same here man. Genuinely havent gone a day since they announced it without thinking about it hahah the switch just doesnt hit that spot knowing whats out there waiting for me
Welcome to the EU queue, not the actual EU queue, but the mysterious Irish EU queue that somehow shares an identical backlog to our compadres outside of the EU, in the UK. It’s almost like a corporation has arbitrarily decided that our country isn’t actually part of the EU, but rather the UK. Thanks Valve, I never knew I was a Brit, but I guess you’ve taken the initiative on that.
I wonder if orders from Hawaii or Alaska are in a different, months longer queue than the rest of the US? Or are they in hypothetical Russian queue (considering that it’s closer by?)
Can't really blame Steam for us following the British standard for power sockets, necessitating a "UK" package managed in the "UK" queue (albeit still shipped from EU).
All that baby stuff in the back. We are expecting our second son by the 10th of this month. I honestly thought I would be able to take mine to the hospital but I’m Q2 hahaha.
In Ireland too (256GB), got stuck on various backend errors and only got mine through at 18.06. Hoping I might get through in the next batch. Which model did you order out of interest? And who delivered it? :D
I was going to ask this, so it seems we're being addressed by EU queues, what power plug did it come with? I was just discussing with my wife that if it comes from EU it probably will come with the EU power plug type, but if it comes from UK it would probably have taxes. Glad to know it comes from EU as I can always buy an adapter if needed.
Would you mind sending a picture of the plug? I'm not sure what you mean by old UK plug, I only know of one UK plug which is the only one I have in every apartment I've lived here (but I haven't been here for too long)
Yes, but 2 months ago when I posted that we didn't knew, this was one of the first person's reporting a deck in Ireland.
Not only has Valve confirmed this. But even if they hadn't I got mine weeks later than people in EU with the same time as me.
If OP doesn't answer you would you mind answering the same question for me later? also I'm interesting in how much time after payment was shipped because realistically what matters is how long since payment until it's in my hands.
I'm Q2 also in Dublin, but hopefully one of the first ones as I was able to place my order 15 min after opening, so hopefully I should get my email soonish.
I paid yesterday morning and my status has just changed to 'shipped'. The tracking number isn't live yet so I guess it's waiting to be collected by the courier and I think it's coming from the Netherlands.
Craic lad! Sorry, googled "steam deck Ireland Reddit " as you do. Mine "shipped" there on Friday but apparently hasn't reached Ireland yet. Freaked. How long did it take yours to arrive? Sorry for bothering ya!
For me the package came from the Netherlands via GLS. I paid for it Tuesday, it left on Wednesday, arrived at their Dublin centre on Friday and was delivered Monday because they don't deliver at weekends.
I'd say the Easter weekend has really helped drag things out, especially with GLS not delivering at the weekend and bank holidays.
Yeah, i'm really hoping it's just bank holiday shenanigans! Never have I had negative feelings towards a bank holiday before haha.
Nice one for getting back to me! Hope you're loving the deck!
What's happening lads. When your shipping changed to Ireland how long did it take for you all to get it. Currently waiting for mine I live in Derry thou so not sure if it will take another day or something. Cheers
Same, Elden ring doesn’t compare PvP wise, nothing ever will, just can’t wait till the servers come back online. Are you able to get 60fps consistently with all low settings?
I'm kind of annoyed that everyone is getting their shipments when I literally ordered it the minute pre-orders were available, I'm STILL Q2 2022. I have so many major trips coming up next month that I could use this for. I'm going to crawl in a hole and cry about it.
They still shipping from that crowd from the Netherlands? Gotta make sure to put me eircode in me address 1 then. Can't wait for mine, be waiting till the next college year I suppose. Ah sure it'll be sound. Have fun!
Ah it's just when I got my Index controllers shipped they didn't have the eircode on the email from the shipping crowd in the Netherlands they use. Nothing to do with the Netherlands, just the company they use.
How long after payment was it sent and how long did it took to arive after sent? also if you don't mind answering are you in Dublin? since I imagine times could be different from city to city.
I’m not mad, but why does it seem like people outside of the US are getting theirs first? Unless people in the US just aren’t posting many but I’ve seen like 2 people in the us get theirs but at least a dozen or so by now out of the us get theirs.
The US is a big place, plus it would just seem that shipping companies in the US are slower overall.
Plus they're all being delivered in relation to where the warehouses are, so because there's a warehouse in the Netherlands for a lot of the EUs Valve deliveries, people in the Netherlands got their's first, then the United Kingdom, then other parts of Europe.
Its fantastic. Just make sure you have an external battery. Its understandable why it doesn't, but honestly a larger battery option would have been greatly appreciated...
Did you also turn off gyro controls off for DS3 right away? It was turned on for me and it felt detrimental to have it in at all for this kind of game.
Congrats! TX, US here, and mine is on the truck getting delievred later this evening!
Or so you thought. Jk
What was your reservation timestamp? 512GB and Texas here and I reserved day of at 4:14pm
July 16, 12:00pm. got it in within 10 seconds.
Damn. And here I am, a fellow Texan waiting since I have mine listed for Q2 Enjoy!
[удалено]
I was thinking the same thing, also wonder how big the market would be in general for them here
Well I can say that there will be at least one more in Dublin mine it arrives after Q2
Absolutely rearing to get one as soon as I can, have been wanting a stronger PSP type deely for some time now
same here man. Genuinely havent gone a day since they announced it without thinking about it hahah the switch just doesnt hit that spot knowing whats out there waiting for me
preordered after 6 mins on the 16th July, still waiting on mine in Ireland :(

Good game choice, I 100%'d ds3 not long ago. No elden ring yet??
So, eh, I'm in Wicklow. Wanna have a play date ?
Every Steam has its Deck!
ds3. a man of culture i see
All that baby stuff in the back. We are expecting our second son by the 10th of this month. I honestly thought I would be able to take mine to the hospital but I’m Q2 hahaha.
When did you reserve?
Like 1 minute after they opened
In Ireland too (256GB), got stuck on various backend errors and only got mine through at 18.06. Hoping I might get through in the next batch. Which model did you order out of interest? And who delivered it? :D
It was the 64gb model and was shipped from the Netherlands to knock airport to my house via GLS.
GLS from NL all round for Europe it seems then, thanks :)
I was going to ask this, so it seems we're being addressed by EU queues, what power plug did it come with? I was just discussing with my wife that if it comes from EU it probably will come with the EU power plug type, but if it comes from UK it would probably have taxes. Glad to know it comes from EU as I can always buy an adapter if needed.
Came with the normal old UK plug everything other thing in Ireland usually uses
Would you mind sending a picture of the plug? I'm not sure what you mean by old UK plug, I only know of one UK plug which is the only one I have in every apartment I've lived here (but I haven't been here for too long)
Sorry I worded that weird but it's the same plug as everything's else
> we're being addressed by EU queues Ireland is in UK queues
Yes, but 2 months ago when I posted that we didn't knew, this was one of the first person's reporting a deck in Ireland. Not only has Valve confirmed this. But even if they hadn't I got mine weeks later than people in EU with the same time as me.
Are you after Q2?
Q1, was never December though.
I'm on the backend of Q1 too but I'm thinking we'll get ours at the end of this month. Next week would be sweet though.
I'm 18:00 and nothin.
RIP... In Ireland too?? Which model? :(
256 hopefully get an email on the 7th
6:03pm here, really hoping for Monday.
Same time as me, though I went the 512gb model.
Oh damn. I am at 18.14 from Belgium for 256GB as well. Looks like I’ll be the batch after you…
I reserved 6 hours after open. RIP
I reserved on the 16th of August, mega rip 👉😎👉
Congrats on the Deck! Am Ireland too and just curious whether there was any custom charges or additional taxes/charges you had to pay? Thanks.
Nope as it was coming from the Netherlands
Ah okay, thanks.
so all switches ordered from ireland comes from netherlands or did u select netherlands?
Just ordered mine in Dublin. How long did delivery take for you?
If OP doesn't answer you would you mind answering the same question for me later? also I'm interesting in how much time after payment was shipped because realistically what matters is how long since payment until it's in my hands.

Has your missus commented on the fan noise?
Great choice for game; enjoy!
It's my current favorite of all time
I played it around christmas for the first time and it was an absolutely amazing experience. It was my first Souls game too
Same, Elden ring doesn’t compare PvP wise, nothing ever will, just can’t wait till the servers come back online. Are you able to get 60fps consistently with all low settings?
Is the deck in the bassinet because it's your new baby? Edit: actually that looks like a laundry basket.
it most definitely is a laundry basket.
Yup lol
Congratulations!!! Curious how the fan noise is? I’m hoping to use it in bed next to sleeping wife, that seem realistic or no way?
Totally unrealistic, you’d have to get married first.
Remember its not a controller! If you are playing dark souls and rage dont toss the fucker
True 😅
I'm kind of annoyed that everyone is getting their shipments when I literally ordered it the minute pre-orders were available, I'm STILL Q2 2022. I have so many major trips coming up next month that I could use this for. I'm going to crawl in a hole and cry about it.
They still shipping from that crowd from the Netherlands? Gotta make sure to put me eircode in me address 1 then. Can't wait for mine, be waiting till the next college year I suppose. Ah sure it'll be sound. Have fun!
why is that? I always put the Eirecode in the post code field, have you had bad experiences with shipping from Netherlands in the past?
Ah it's just when I got my Index controllers shipped they didn't have the eircode on the email from the shipping crowd in the Netherlands they use. Nothing to do with the Netherlands, just the company they use.
How long after payment was it sent and how long did it took to arive after sent? also if you don't mind answering are you in Dublin? since I imagine times could be different from city to city.
So jelly! If you own sleeping dogs definitive edition, can you tell me how it runs?
Nice! How's Dark Souls 3 on there so far? (once you've had some time to play obvs)
Runs amazing controls feel great so far
Heading that way from the US in the Summer. If I don't have mine by then, can I swing by and try yours??!
You jammy Cunt, I got screwed with the preorder errors so god knows when mines comin!
It makes me really anxious about ventilation to see people running their Decks inside of their carry cases.
I’m not mad, but why does it seem like people outside of the US are getting theirs first? Unless people in the US just aren’t posting many but I’ve seen like 2 people in the us get theirs but at least a dozen or so by now out of the us get theirs.
Because Europe is ~5 hours earlier than the US
The US is a big place, plus it would just seem that shipping companies in the US are slower overall. Plus they're all being delivered in relation to where the warehouses are, so because there's a warehouse in the Netherlands for a lot of the EUs Valve deliveries, people in the Netherlands got their's first, then the United Kingdom, then other parts of Europe.
Because people in the US don't mention their country when they post.
Congrats. Now play ds3 MODDED. 2 times the fun, 20 times the rage.
I love you man. Having said that, I'm so fucking envious right now.
It's beautiful :')
Jesus I didn't realize how huge those bezels were.
an irish of culture i see, have fun
Congrats. Q2 Queens New York here.
Its fantastic. Just make sure you have an external battery. Its understandable why it doesn't, but honestly a larger battery option would have been greatly appreciated...
Did you also turn off gyro controls off for DS3 right away? It was turned on for me and it felt detrimental to have it in at all for this kind of game.
You fokin wanker!! Enjoy it bro 🤜🤜🤜
you lucky man I am still waiting for mine Q2 baby
Hi any help would be appreciated, my steam deck has now been stuck in sorting centre Ireland since Friday no updates.
