Unboxing my Steam Deck

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So I

just got my brand new Steam Deck in the

post, going to unbox it right

Wow, look at all the different languages.

What a weird box in a tent.

What This says something

grandmother. Why is it in Korean?

Doesn't haemoni mean grandmother?

On the grandmother's deck. And this says

on the train station in Japanese. I don't

know why they just have random— look, it

says waiting time.

They just have random Japanese and Korean

all over it. In a— oh, it has random

English too. In a test chamber. What a

weird box. Oh, it's there! I just saw it.

Okay, let's look at this first.

Attention. Oh look,

that's the picture of it.

Okay, so I got the most expensive

version, 512GB, because I feel like

you need at least 500GB to download any

decent number of games. Otherwise, if you

get the, the entry model, how many games

can you even download? Like 1.5? Elden

Ring is gonna be— isn't Elden Ring like

100 gigabytes on its own? So I thought I'd

get 500 gigabytes just to be safe. Okay,

so what's this? I think this is the plug.

Yeah, probably just the boring plug.

I can't believe I waited since I think

February for this. Now by the time you get

it, took such a long time to come in the

post. So you can get your Steam Deck,

it's gonna be redundant.

Steam Deck 2 is gonna be out. I don't know

why they take such a long time to get

people's Steam Decks shipped. Supply

shortages, I guess. So you get the plug.

Very nice plug. And there's a bunch of

instructions. Why do you need instruction

pamphlet for a plug?

Look at this. Do I

think it's the instruction book for the

entire Steam Deck? Maybe. So that's all

rubbish. Okay, so here is the main,

the main show. Wow, it came in a case.

It's so heavy. I mean, look at this in

comparison. I don't want to start

comparing it to the Switch straight away,

but I'm going to compare it to the Switch,

obviously. But look how small and light

the Switch is. This thing is like a brick

already. Well, it does include the case.

Imagine this case was empty.

Your games are going places.

Designed by Valve.

Wow. I don't know if I'd use this case

though. I guess it's a pretty nice case to

put in your bag. Look at that, it's got a

little strap. Let's get a good view of it.

It's got a little strap so you can carry

it around like, like a purse. Oh, it's got

these little white tabs. Let me zoom in.

It's got these little white tab things for

the zip and this weird

plastic bit here. Oh, these little white

things feel quite nice actually. So how do

I break this open?

What? How do I open this?

So you need some scissors, I guess, and

then you just cut it, and then we open it.

Which way is it going to fall open?

Oh wow, it's huge! Look at that.

Jesus, for some reason I wasn't

expecting it to be so Oh my God,

look at the size of that! That is

a big gaming thing. Oh wow,

this is huge! Look at the size

of it compared to the Switch. The Switch

could fit inside the screen alone.

It doesn't feel too heavy when you've got

2 hands on it. There's dust on it.

Yeah, it doesn't feel too heavy in 2

hands, and it's quite nice because it's

got these, these lumps that you can grip

around. And it's actually quite thin.

It's not chunky. It's quite, quite thin.

Obviously not as thin as the Switch, but

look at the size of it. The Switch can fit

in the back of it like that.

Wow, I can't believe this cost £560.

See what the buttons feel like. Oh, it

feels quite clicky. Got a

trigger, you got 2 triggers on the top,

shoulder buttons, got X, Y, B,

A, got 2 thumbsticks,

directional pad, and the trackpads. And

you've got these 2 buttons here, and then

you've got the buttons on the back, these

2 and these 2,

which I don't know if they're good or not

because I feel like I'm accidentally

pressing them when I click the thumbstick

down. Because when I click the thumbstick,

I, I like to squeeze the grip, but then I

accidentally press the back buttons,

which is a bit annoying.

Okay, what ports do we have? We have— I

think that's a 3.5mm audio jack and

USB-C ports for charging, on and off

button. And what's this?

It's an SD card slot at the bottom. I

think that's an SD card slot. See what

it smells like. Hmm, smells like

brand new plastic.

I don't know if I'd play this on the plane

because it just seems really big,

like you'd get people staring at you for

playing it, whereas the Switch just seems

a bit more— it feels weird holding the

Switch now with the weird thumbsticks,

one up, one down. Why are they sticky?

It just feels like when you play Switch,

it's more stealthy, and then you bring

this out and it's like you're ready for

some serious gaming. I wonder what the

mics sound like. I think these little

holes here are microphones so you can do

mic chat gaming, voice chat on gaming.

And then they also gave me a

little cloth for wiping Very

fancy. So if you get smudges on

it, do some cleaning,

and then that just goes straight in like

this. That's a very nice case,

I think. Yeah, I guess I could bring it in

my bag when I go traveling. Might as well.

If they're going to provide you with a

nice case. What's this?

What's that for? Do you put your phone

into this? Gave me a weird little random

bag. Oh, maybe it's for the plug.

Is it for the plug?

Yeah, I guess it's for the plug. Well,

this is the plug. USB,

USB-C. Hmm. Well,

that's it for the unboxing. I'm going to

turn it on. I guess I could turn it on

now, but I'm not going to set it up and

play it on video because that'll be a bit

boring. Better be charged up. How do you

turn it on? Up here. Do I hold it down or

just press it once? I don't think

it's charged,

probably because it's been sitting around

in a warehouse for months. Yeah, it's not

charged. I'm gonna have to charge it up,

but thanks for watching my unboxing video.

Goodbye.
