For those of you still on the fence, it’s worth it imo. Nice handheld for games and emulators. Love traveling with it
Unless you live in Australia. So sick of Valve’s lack of desire to sell directly down under. And yes you can order them via local resellers, but what are the chances they’ll have a 20% off sale?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Joining the Steam 20 year celebration, the Steam Deck and Docking Station are now discounted across all three models when buying brand new from Valve.
It’s an incredibly versatile Linux machine and my favourite gaming device.
A good time for another reason, as last month Deck Verified hit over 11,000 titles playable.
That’s only what Valve has directly tested though, plenty more will run just fine.
Even some great emulators too with the help of projects like EmuDeck and RetroDECK.
Additionally the Steam Deck is also on sale in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong via Komodo.
The original article contains 211 words, the summary contains 97 words. Saved 54%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Clearing stock because they’ll announce the Deck Pro/2 soon is my guess.
Note that Lawrence Yang said in March “a true next-gen Deck with a significant bump in horsepower wouldn’t be for a few years.” (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-community-continues-to-blow-our-minds-valve-talk-the-steam-deck-one-year-on)
Seems just a tad bit too soon, but I don’t know what their stock is looking like. I also expect to hear about a new VR kit from them before we get a new SD, but we will see.
They sold out of all models the last sail. Slightly annoyed I missed it but bought one when back in stock. Slightly miffed at this sale but themselves the breaks.
Be supprised if it was an overstock issue so soon.
