im sure they struggle selling them, its a premium item, no one will really want to spend 500 bucks on them when you can easily upgrade a GPU in your desktop for that price as well, i went with a switch oled

Bought my 256gb model for $250 off a friend this thing is dope for a handheld Diablo 4 runs smooth emulation is GREAT!

i like it but 500 linus does not not make sense heck i bought a amd 2700u laptop 125 buck 16gvb ram i say that because lots of thing are comparable in terms of cash if you go used but its not cool and tiny like the steam deck .i raly game but i may buy one at some point

Just saved 20%

Just ordered the 64 model on the second sale and ive been looking for the shipping email lol

I know I’m late to the party but I would like some assurance from someone who seems to know their stuff, or anyone who can help. I’m thinking about getting a steam deck (especially because of the sale) but have a few things holding me back. The main reason is that I worry I won’t get enough use out of it/be bored with it within a week. I have a Nintendo switch that I don’t really use anymore, and would rather not have my steam deck become the same thing. Is there anything that can fully assure me that this purchase would be worthwhile

No, right now is the best time!!

You can get this on offerup used ones, good shape, 1/4th the price of orginal. I own one. I wouldn't recommend buying a new one. The steamdeck 2.0 or whatever there going to call it will drop next year or late this year.

It might even be better to spend more on the new ROG system.
As the future of this outdated processor and weird gpu is quickly falling short of a few other handhelds on the market today.

Still not available from Valve in Australia 🙁

i will wait for a the second deck it should have a better battery i just upgraded my switch to the totk version

I recommend before lowering the fps, try to lower the resolution and use FSR, reduce voltage. you can keep 60fps and keep the battery good life

What is this game 5:30

Thankkkkk youuuuu for pointing out it needs to be a 2230!!! In ALL the tutorial videos I've watched regarding the memory upgrades, NOBODY said anything about that. It makes sense, but it's one of those small details I overlooked. I ended up ordering the Sabrent 2242 then watched this video, and was able to cancel before shipping and order the proper one. THANK YOU.

ps – can you list what mic, camera & audio interface you use, please? it'd be awesome if ya added an equipment list to the notes on your videos ????

I just got my Steam Deck about 1 months ago & love it already! Sad I missed out on the 10% off, tho ????

I want to buy it but it's been out of stock for over a month now only the most expensive is available to order

How does this handle the arkham collection

I want to know to get a steam deck or rogue ally? I’m not a good tinkerer but I have kids and can’t play my Xbox as much anymore but I also want to play the new games like starfield and such. Will a steam deck be more reliable or a rog ally steam deck seems cheaper and I already got a big sd card so idk what to pick

Any link where I can buy it?

Is it you JayzTwoCents? ????

Will steamdeck still worth it 2024? Just asking

now is the best time to own both the steam deck and the switch oled end of story ????

I probaly gonna sell my Nintendo switch oled on eBay

ever since I bought my steam deck 256GB I am so hook usin this thing I mean I use my steam deck more than I use my Nintendo switch oled ????

should u buy the steam deck in 2023 my answer is OH HELL YEA ????

Great videos dude! Keep working!

Rdr2 is super boring and slow paced, but the story is really good

Buying one next week I hope it doesn't suck

I must have missed the sale

You didn't mention Elden Ring or Cyberpunk on Steam Deck! Very demanding AAA titles that run amazing on such a portable device. Personally I'm replaying them on my Deck.
