The handheld that took off the portable gaming market in the last year. Even a year after its release, Valve’s Steam Deck attracts many players to purchase. Of course, the price tag is not completely low, but it is now possible to save money when purchasing through official channels. However, you should not mind that the device will not be completely new.
Valve has launched the sale of refurbished Steam Decks. Their price is lower and each device has passed the inspection directly from the manufacturer. Therefore, you don’t have to take a risky look at bazaars in order to save. In order to get a working model in your hands, each piece of refurbished Steam Deck goes through a hundred tests focused on sound, inputs, display and internal components. Valve will also check the battery status. The main disadvantage compared to new pieces will be minor cosmetic defects on the device. However, they don’t have to occur either.
With a refurbished device, you still get the power supply, travel case and quick guide. You can reach for all three memory variants. And how much will you save? The refurbished 64GB model costs 80 euros less than the new one, i.e. 339 euros. For the middle option, you pay exactly 100 euros less, i.e. 439 euros. The highest version with a 512GB SSD will cost you 539 euros, that is, 140 euros less, and it is even a lower price than the middle new model.
Valve sometimes discounts the Steam Deck by a few percent. So if you want to save on a new model, keep an eye out for Steam deals. Alternatively, you can reach for an alternative such as ROG Ally.
