The fact that for less than $100 you could get a refurbished OLED model with the same amount of storage as highest storage LCD model (512GB) is insane. If the OLED model was out and had verified refurbished models on sale back when I bought my deck, I would have absolutely done it. Not upgrading any time soon if I can help it since I love my deck, but damn it would’ve been cool to have the OLED model.
Dumb question, but where is the buying button or even the price for these? I’m curious to see how much cheaper it is refurbished.
Near the top of the page that this post is linking to.
- 512 GB: 569€ > 459€
- 1 TB: 679€ > 549€
Oh? I don’t see that on my page, must be a regional thing.
We only got the Steam Deck released two weeks ago here in Australia. So I guess maybe a few more years we can get a refurb.
That seems to be the case. Switching to an Australian VPN, I do not see that price section on the page at all.
They’re all sold out. Holy crap. Also, I’m holding off on buying the OLED. I want to wait for the Deck 2. They’re also releasing a steam console.
Unfortunately Deck 2 timing is unknown right right now, haven’t had any leaks suggesting that we’ll be getting it soon. We know Valve is releasing SteamOS for more devices, starting with Lenovo handhelds, but it’s not clear if we’ll see SteamOS for any non-handhelds in the immediate future.
We are getting a new Steam Controller soon, which I’m hyped about.
I do have the LCD one and I’ll hold on to it until whenever they release the deck 2. That’s what I meant. I’m actually not in a hurry.
it’s not clear if we’ll see SteamOS for any non-handhelds in the immediate future.
For that, you can get bazziteOS. It’s a copy of it with even better performance. In case you’re thinking of building a steam console. :)
