Valve puts the Steam Deck and Dock on sale again, get up to 20% off
Joining the Steam 20 year celebration, the Steam Deck and Docking Station are now discounted across all three models when buying brand new from Valve.
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.
10% on the 64GB one, though; 15 and 20% on the higher-capacity versions, but thanks to the recent drop in SSD prices those are more expensive than they should be even with the discount.
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. 🫠
Come on Valve, discount the Index..
My wallet is ready.
Time to buy an official dock I guess...
My experience with the official dock has been quite negative, it would sometimes not work until the power cable is unplugged and then plugged back - that is with all the latest stable updates for everything. Other people on Steam forums run into this issue too.

I’ve noticed the issue too late for a simple refund process and their support was not cooperative at all.
I recommend looking at other docks instead, will cost you less and work better.
I already have several others but wanted the officoal one since it has DisplayPort. Hopefully I don't run into the same issues, but I know now there are third party options with it as well.
@petsoi well, used the discount which makes the large one the same pricing as the refurbished version. Order went out yesterday. Happy and curious 🤩
