It looks like it may have leaked that Valve will start selling refurbished Steam Deck models for cheaper.

TL;DR: Steam briefly showed options to buy refurbished Steam Decks for the following prices:

  • 64gb - $319
  • 256gb - $419
  • 512gb - $519

The steam page has since been taken down, but will hopefully go live officially soon.

Edit: That was quick, refurbished units available now.

    I’ve been wanting a Steam Deck and telling myself I don’t need one and they keep trying to seduce me!

      Valve finally realised that there is more to seduction than just fried chicken

      Yeah, I really have no need. The money would be better spent on hardware for my computer if anything. Still, I want one. I don’t know why.

      I was seduced, though the last time I played a PC game was somewhen in the 90s. Thought to get into that steam thing. Opened an account, ordered the steam deck, had the account blocked for fraud, my order cancelled, was not eager to share my ID with steam. Aaand still don’t own one. Now I am just not up for it anymore. Maybe you can take that route.

      I want one. It’s a lot easier for me to start up a gaming session on the couch with a handheld without much fuss than on my computer at my desk. There are a lot of games I’d play more this way.
