    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. 🫠
