    Or you could get an AYN Thor for 350$ + 30$ shipping and a wait time of 3 months

      Or you could buy a miyoo mini plus and get it within a week for like $50.

      That’s what I did and I play all my retro games on it, I even prefer it over my steam deck for retro gaming.

      Or you could download an emulator and play on a 10 year old laptop on a big screen tv.

        I can’t get over how great ps2 emulation is

        PS3 is decent but half the games I wanna play aren’t ready yet, the ones that are done are great though

        Yeah, that’s definitely directly comparable to a portable device like a Steam Deck or AYN Thor.

      I think you can put SteamOS on those badboys now too, so you can say goodbye to shitty Android launchers

      That’s true. Or depending on what I want to play, lots of even cheaper systems. Although the Steam Deck is JUST powerful enough for everything I want to play.
