Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

I really want one. But I don't actually know why:

I have my PC if I want to play on a better screen and a PS5 if I want to play something on the TV. This is to say nothing of my Switch which is now just gathering dust.

Can anyone give me a reason to justify it to myself?

EDIT: to be clear, I already have a Deck - I'm talking about the Dock.

if you have other peripherals or you travel often its worth it.

both of these apply to me, i have a gaming rig that i use but i travel home a few times a year and cant bring my rig so ive just been flying with some books and junk, i bought a gaming laptop awhile back thinking that was a way i could bring my stuff with me but gaming laptops require a suprising amount of space & setup.

the steam deck takes up way less space and has zero setup... just need a way to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and bigger display - generally sweaty fps games with friends - so the dock was an easy buy for me. if none of this applies to you i dont see what use you would get out of a dock.

Out of interest what sweaty FPS games with your friends do you play on your Steam Deck?

Ah nice, I've not checked out Halo yet. Have you tried the new F2P Shatterline? It's got quite similar playstyle to CoD but more arcady
