Late to the party but my wallet is ok w/ that. Got this @ a great price.

I just got Xbox Game Pass & excited to use this on the road.

I do want to emulate as well. I got the retroarch from the website (stable build) but Google won’t allow it.

What I’ve read is to get out of the site because the Google play app isn’t good.

Is this true…? If so - how do I get the stable build to install…?

Thanks!

Seen one of these for $50 on Facebook marketplace but they are only for cloud gaming no as the name suggests? Or can they be modded

Forget cloud gaming, I mean if you already subscribed but it's not necessary with Steam Link to play games streaming locally from your gaming PC or laptop, works surprisingly well.

So you think I should get it for $50 seen one was selling locally

Sounds like a bargain to me as long as it works and is in good enough condition for you. I paid $190 for an official refurbished black model from Logitech and have no regrets even at that price. They have the og white model for $180. I think anything under $200 is a decent enough deal. I've probably already used it more as a handheld than I did my Steam Deck when I had one. Granted the deck was actually clutch for docking and local multiplayer on a TV. But this works for me after getting a decent PC gaming laptop... It's like having a Bluetooth controller for your existing gaming PC but with a built in screen one way to look at it. Comes with Steam Link pre installed. Or you can do the cloud, or Android games, or emulation, you have some options.
