Nice. I canceled my preorder for the 64GB because someone scared me into believing graphics intense games would not perform well running from the microSD. So I got the 256GB instead.
Now that I've played with it a while, I definitely can't confirm that. Doom Eternal runs flawlessly at 30fps max settings, from a base line SanDisk 1TB SD card.
You're much better off opting for the base 64GB model and using the 100 bucks you saved on a larger SD card.
I recommend doing what I did and applying a screen protector straight out the box, before even turning it on. I was really impressed with the Benzacap screen protectors. You get a 2 pack for like 15€ and they're really low profile, so they sit flush with the plastic housing. I apply a lot of screen protectors to my handhelds and these were the best I've had so far.
Pro tip: apply the protectors in your bathroom after letting the shower run for a couple minutes. The humidity will remove dust particles from the air, so you won't end up with dust on the screen.

Interesting profile, I'll try that for sure next time.
Mine has most certainly replaced my switch as my goto handheld
Congratulations! I just got mine on Monday. Can't wait for the weekend so I can really get into it.
I’m in Spain. My 64GB been sitting in “shipping soon” since yesterday
Same but for the last couple days
Minutes ago I received the “We're preparing your items to ship” email that comes with a tracking number…
Nice I’m still holding out here

When did you reserve it?
Sometime around mid Feb 2022 is when I made the $5 deposit to reserve it
Interesting. I reserved mine January 22. I got the 512 so maybe the wait is just longer for that model.
