Product Description

  • Portability meets power
    Steam Deck is partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck's custom APU, optimised for handheld gaming. It is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse, delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope.
  • Thumbsticks and triggers
    Best-in-class thumbsticks with capacitive touch sensor built-in - provide a level of precision and comfort not found in other portable gaming devices. Analogue triggers provide a full range of input for the best experience - especially in driving games.
  • Grip buttons
    Four user-assignable buttons on the back of the deck put the next level of control right at your fingertips while keeping your thumb firmly planted on the trackpad or stick.
  • Handy trackpads
    Play PC games that were never designed to be handheld. With increased precision and customisability, trackpads also give you a competitive edge when playing fast paced FPS games.
  • Gyro feature
    With an IMU and capacitive touch thumbsticks on-board, Steam Deck helps you aim better. By physically positioning the device you can achieve more precision than using a thumbstick or trackpad alone.
  • 40W battery
    Steam Deck Gaming Console's onboard 40 watt-hour battery provides several hours of play time for most games. For lighter use cases like game streaming, smaller 2D games or web browsing, you can expect to get the maximum battery life of approximately 7-8 hours.

      Yeah, and they'll cost almost twice as much for at least the next 6 months.

      Can you please link me where I can get the OLED locally for close to the price of this deal?

        So…no?

  • Orangemarza on 05/12/2023 - 11:51

    How do you get the full $628 discount price? I only can get $715 discount with the coupon or has the price increased?

    • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2023 - 11:56

      As is in the title, you need ebay plus.
      Then as is in the post, you use code DASO20

    Fair price for it. Note that its a chunky boy so not as portable as you might have hoped for

    is there are pre-made distro setup for retro gaming on this? (i'm not too interested in the steam part, but the retro emulation looks amazing)

    i don't mind adding 'material', just looking for a one-click solution with controller mapped, best emu, frontend, boxart, etc already setup would be awesome.

    • SnowDragon on 05/12/2023 - 12:52

      Yes, it's called EmuDeck. It installs all of the emulators and configures them for the deck. You just need to provide roms and bios' (where applicable).

    • drinkin-beer on 05/12/2023 - 12:53

      There is an installer called emudeck and it runs a script to install all of the emulators you want in one go. You just need to move your ROMs/bios files into the appropriate directory and you are set.

      It's pretty close to a plug and play experience.

      For this price, it's a bargain. Throw in a larger SSD and you are good.

    $628 for 64gb is a steal within context, but frankly, buying a Steam Deck in Australia isn’t worth it when the new consoles that are ALSO built on Zen 2 and RDNA2 outperform the Steam Deck in the same price bracket, and sometimes even at a lower price themselves.

    And if even the ROG Ally can’t sell that well in Australia, despite only being $50 more in the US than the 512GB Steam Deck and having a similar, if not higher performance APU, then it’s clear that no clear majority is interested in buying a Steam Deck through grey market imports, or are holding off until the AUD starts getting stronger against the USD and Valve starts selling the Steam Deck here.

    Most Australians’ handheld gaming needs are either met by the phones in their pockets or the Nintendo Switch at this point, and that will not change until Valve gets off its moral high horse, starts to play by the rules of the ACCC, and releases the Deck here in Aus.

      Hardware isn't everything. Steamdeck is like the iPhone where it may be beaten on the spec sheet, but the software makes up for that and then some.

    • Circly on 05/12/2023 - 14:49

      I don't think you undersrand hand helds.

      Nintendo knows it's not just about specs its about user experience too.

      This kills the Rog Ally and Legion Go in terms of experience. Would handily beat them in sales if it was sold here.

      Game Boy outsold Atari Lynx and Game Gear.
      Nintendo DS outsold PSP.
      Nintendo 3DS outsold PS Vita.

      For handhelds, it isn't about high end performance.

    • CyberMurning on 06/12/2023 - 08:31

      @FujinShu
      new consoles that are ALSO built on Zen 2 and RDNA2 outperform the Steam Deck in the same price bracke

      Which ones please?

      • FujinShu on 06/12/2023 - 11:39

        PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

        • CyberMurning on 06/12/2023 - 12:06

          okay.. i thought handheld :D but yeah got your point i will wait

    I would highly recommend reading the Feedback profile of mobileciti_estore before you comfortable hit buy.

      I've got steam decks from them in previous deals without any problems.

      98.9% positive? 100% positive on Deck sales? What am I missing here

    • TekniqAU on 06/12/2023 - 01:22

      I personally wouldn't buy from them.

      And I know it's not just me that feels that way, but in my experience their rep lied about the Pixel 2 XL having a Google warranty, here on ozbaragain.

      I found this out when I needed warranty support 9 months later, they gave me the run-around with a 3rd party repair center (Sydney Mobiles), and ultimately claimed there was nothing wrong with the phone, then sent it back broken.

      Shipping costs, and cost of phone out of pocket, I ultimately sold it for parts rather than deal with various agencies, further shipping costs, and going without a decent phone for even more weeks.

    what modern good rpgs run at rock solid 30+ fps on the deck?

  • boxall on 05/12/2023 - 22:16

    Is the speed running from a MicroSd noticeably slower?

      not really, you’d only notice in a side by side comparison. Some games might struggle like ratchet and clank and returnal

  • sm3llycat on 06/12/2023 - 00:53

    I love my LCD Steam deck but I do wish it was OLED.

  • supersaverdude on 06/12/2023 - 16:29

    I wish steam would just start selling these in Aus through the Steam store. Got a tonne of steam/game inventory items I would love to sell to pick one up.

  • Alex000 on 07/12/2023 - 10:35

    Need an advice please. What's better for kids 9 and 13 yrs old, this or switch. They don't have a console at home and never asked, but they saw switch a few times at their friends place and kind of liked it I think. They particularly enjoyed "active" games there and a sprit screen part of it when they play together. Can deck do all of that too? I understand HW is better here but does it provide same experience?

    • Carrian on 07/12/2023 - 11:43
      +1

      if they enjoyed "active" games, the switch is the way to go.

      despite clear hardware differences, the output really isn't too different as the games for switch are optimised for switch, as are some steam games on the deck.

      switch will be better for multiplayer/split screen as it comes with two controllers.

      • Alex000 on 07/12/2023 - 13:11

        Cheers. I'll try to get the OLED model then

    • MrFunSocks on 07/12/2023 - 12:24

      Switch every day.

  • Twisty on 09/12/2023 - 21:39

    Want to be the OLED model but the original at less then half the price is very tempting

    Is this seller decent and back warranties? If it was Kogan I’d feel better about it.

    Or do I wait for under $600 which may come…

    • belongsinforums on 10/12/2023 - 21:33

      This is a good price. Worth it if you're going to actually use it

    • WorstAgreeableRadish on 11/12/2023 - 11:06

      Do Kogan every have theirs on sale? I haven't seen it on OZB.

      I hate settling, but as you said, for half the price the I should maybe just live with the slightly shorter battery life, dimmer screen and slightly more input lag.

      • Twisty on 11/12/2023 - 11:45

        Noisier Fan and black light bleed too I’ve been told
