I'm looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?

Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.

Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.

If you want a screen protector, stay away from the 512gb version since you either put a protector with glare ontop of the anti glare screen. Or double down on anti glare which reduces image quality.

Most people should probably buy the 256 gb version and get a large external storage.

Only buy the 64gb version if you are looking to make an internal swap. It's very easy but obviously not for everyone. Some people argue that 64 gb is ok if you buy a 512gb se card or bigger. But shaders cache caches up to most of us. It's a bitch, and storage will fill up even if you have 0 games in internal storage. Especially if you wanna use a basic install of CryoUtilities which I recommend everyone to do.
