How about sell out in Australia. I mean it'll be 2 years old before we know it, and will we want one then?

You said what I came here to say.
If the steam deck 2 is announced before the Australian release - im waiting for the 2.
Come on Valve, discount the Index..
My wallet is ready.
It's on discount AGAIN?
I really wish i still needed such a device....I don't really get out and about anymore, so my PC is more than good enough.
I like to use it in bed. It's a luxury rather than a need for sure, but it's nice to play before bed or when I wake early and have some time.
I don't get out and about at all and I have a 3090 in my PC but I still use my deck a ton. It's amazing for getting some games in between housework or kinda just whenever. To each their own, but I've heard the same story many times from different deck users.
I keep wanting to buy it because of the amazing sales pitch, except it provides zero value to me. I already use my laptop in bed, lol... and if I'm going outside, I'm not going to be playing games. It doesn't even make sense to pack for going overseas because my laptop works great for that. And it doesn't work very well as a new computer because it's likely far more underpowered than my other computers for video editing and other work I need to do, but is nonetheless a cool feature.
Not that it matters at all. Valve still don't sell it in my country.
It's nice even if you don't get out much. Sometimes it's nice to just lay down across the couch and play on the steam deck.
that's fair but i don't think it's $550 nice for the 512gb unit. not really big on customizing and would want the best screen i can get
Honestly, I keep wanting to buy it and coming up with excuses. However, I don't event have time to play games and I'm not making enough use of my PS plus subscription.
I don't need this. I don't need this. I don't need this. 🫠
Of course it goes in sale after I just bought one.
Can't you return it and buy one at the reduced price?
Or just contact Valve customer service, I've heard they are actually pretty good. I bet they would just refund the difference.
I did so when I bought before the steam sale. They credited my steam wallet with the diff (not quite a true refund, but shrug)
i did this and got the discount the last time it was on sale. it was easier to take store credit but they will refund money too
Contact steam. I seen on reddit they said they can't reimburse the sale part, but they can return the money on your steam wallet, takes the sale price and leave the difference there.
I'll have to try that and see if it works.
I got the basic version during the last sale and put in a 2tb ssd, works freaking amazing
Possible dumb question... did you install an internal ssd? Or is it just a pluggable jump drive
@petsoi well, used the discount which makes the large one the same pricing as the refurbished version. Order went out yesterday. Happy and curious 🤩
