The confirmed pricing is:

- Steam Deck 256 GB - Certified Refurbished: $419 / £369
- Steam Deck 512 GB - Certified Refurbished: $519 / £459
This is actually pretty based
That’s good, right? 👴
Indeed, good sir. When something is based, it is generally considered to be positive.
My wife took a pregnancy test and it said her results were based
I would have assumed acidic
Well that means one of two things, it’s either the result you wanted, whichever that is, or is basically saying "nice"because that means you got laid.
Which is kinda the opposite of something that’s basic. Judy to be confusing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As noted by Valve, "Each Certified Refurbished Steam Deck has been thoroughly tested to the same high standards as our retail units.
Every device goes through a complete factory reset, software update, and an extensive examination involving over 100 tests at one of Valve’s facilities.
Battery health is also assessed to ensure proper functionality and longevity.
Although they may have minor cosmetic blemishes, they provide a reliable, high-quality gaming experience at a lower cost."
They all include the same full one year warranty as a brand new Steam Deck, a refurbished power supply and carrying case.
In the FAQ at the bottom Valve also notes that stock levels will come and go over time, as they are selected from customer returns that “pass rigorous criteria”.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
That pricing seems really good, you can get a refurbished 64 and a 1tb SSD for about the cost of a new 64gb. Seems almost too good to be true.
What are you going to do with that SSD? The 64 GB version doesn’t have a NVMe slot, it works via a eMMC flash chip soldered to the board.Edit: apparently I was wrong
Nope the emmc is on a card in the m.2 slot. You just remove the 64gb emmc and slot in the 1tb nvme drive. I did it to mine when I got it. I kept the 64gb drive in a portable nvme housing.

Glad to hear that, he scared me for a second lol!
I’m not sure about that, it doesn’t make sense that valve would have two different board designs for the steam deck & a quick Google search shows many videos walking through the upgrade
Ooh, the base unit is nearly the price of a Nintendo Switch! If they can keep this going for another year and Nintendo decides not to go with backward compatibility for their next system, I might make this my Switch 2…
I’m hoping this settles the second hand market a little.
Far too many people expecting to get rrp (or more!) because the stock availability is finicky on the new ones. (When in reality, if you want one, you can get one, just need to follow the discord)~350€ for the 64 Gb Version … Eurozone getting screwed a bit here …
I guess that the US Prices are without Tax therefore it looks cheaper on the first sight.
319 + 10% = 350.90 USD = 320.45 EUR
279 GBP = 324.26 EUR
Any way you convert it, it’s more expensive in EUR

I pulled the trigger on this. I couldn’t add one to my cart from mobile; I had to grab my PC.
Not too happy about the one year warranty on a refurbished product but I guess the normal steam decks also only have one year of warranty too.
Awesome! Great move.
