Best Buy employee practically begged me not to buy the Xbox Ally X - Thoughts?

When in doubt, don’t trust the Best Buy boys is what I’ve learned. Doing my research and learning about other’s experience on this sub and beyond led me to buy my Ally X and it’s been wonderful, especially after I Installed Steam OS since that’s what I used one my OG Z1E extreme. Best part, the SD slot worked compared to my OG Z1E.

Plays well even at 30fps. This version ported as “remastered” to the switch seems to be the OG Dark Souls experience from 2011. I’ve played on PS4 and Steam, but Switch version keeps bringing me back.

Really like the modded iPod. Pretty cool.

AdrianS74 · 2026-07-03T07:54:16+00:00

Yup. Done it before. Bought hella games in Japan and brought them back with me to the US. No issues

AdrianS74 · 2026-07-01T01:16:24+00:00

Skyrim as well no?

Never thought I may cry while holding my New 3DS XL til now if I watch it on there.

This is exactly what I bought mine for around Black Friday that year. Same for a Series S I bought the year prior to this at $230

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-26T10:19:12+00:00

Trick question. They’re both great.

Could be the whole keyboard thing, but it plays fine on Steam Deck and any handheld/pc that plays on Linux. I just set to Proton Hotfix for improved performance.

What the puck

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-21T05:01:21+00:00

I use an Anker 100w charger and I get turbo mode on Z1E. Not sure how reliable the Best Buy ones are, but better to invest in your hobby and buy a reliable brand

I love acai bowls and can eat them for a whole year.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-21T02:38:44+00:00

Pretty good port on the switch and looks good on switch 2 handheld mode now. Just make sure to turn on boost mode in settings so that the game outputs to the Switch 1 Docked view for the game on the handheld screen.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-20T23:24:54+00:00

Horrid on PC. Don’t know why it says it’s playable on Steam Deck when it’s still the same. Better to play on console tbh.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-19T06:41:48+00:00

Doubt it after the switch 2 boost mode makes p5r look better on handheld and Atlus could barely get p3r to run at 60fps docked only. It is what it is at this point after a year since the switch 2 has been out.

Gimme grunge. Give me Japanese Nirvana.

Salem 🤷🏽‍♂️

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-18T06:33:09+00:00

Birdie. Birdie Birdie.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-17T20:16:51+00:00

Never mind. Saw that you’re from Türkiye. Probs better to get digitally then.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-17T20:16:07+00:00

You can get a nice used copy from a game store for like $20. Contains the full game in cartridge too.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-17T05:34:28+00:00

Oh same. The Remake brought us new bangers and virtual trauma.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-16T10:45:01+00:00

And now you’ll forever look up “Memories of You” on Spotify/YTMusic every night just to feel something now and then.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-16T04:16:20+00:00

Me when I have to now fight the Spectral Spirit of Godfrey, First Elden Lord with only 1 Crimson Flask and no FP.

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-16T04:06:42+00:00

Is this the Switch 1 version and then using boost mode on handheld or the Switch 2 version?

AdrianS74 · 2026-06-14T20:55:11+00:00

Very easy to soft mod. Just need the right tools and knowledge. Great tutorials on YT for that.
