I was crossing my fingers that I could grab a 64gb version for $359 on Black Friday. And instead, I got a $319 256gb deck today instead.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m super tempted to get the OLED but at 42% cheaper with more or less the exact same performance, I think I’m happier with this deal instead. I’ll be using it docked a lot of the time or curled up on the couch at home where battery isn’t an issue. I want to play a few AAA games (Elden Ring, GTA 6 once it’s out, etc) and I want an one-and-done emulation beast so I’ll be playing a lot of older games (that can’t hit 90hz) as well. So I think that saving a few hundred dollars is the move here, and that way I’ll feel more justified to buy the proper refresh in a few years.
Anybody else with me? Or do you think I’m an idiot for buying an LCD Steam Deck after the OLED announcement?
yeah i dont think you will be playing gta 6 on the deck…
Bought a 512GB refurb after seeing these discounts. Super excited. My first experience with a Steam Deck!
I had one briefly but am currently deckless until this new one comes in. You’re going to love it!
I bought a 512Gb refurbished yesterday. I’ve been eyeing the steam deck for the past month or so and was waiting for a Black Friday sale. After the price drop I had to do it.
