▲ 32 ▼ Should i wait a Sale to buy the Steam Deck?? | [Discussion] (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by ekZepp@lemmy.world to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz 34 comments fedilink hide all child comments After searching for a bit i find THIS article with all the announced sales dates. According to it there are still 3 main sale dates left: Return of Steam Scream Fest (Halloween): October 26 - November 2 (additional details to come) Autumn Sale: November 21 - 28 (major seasonal sale) Winter Sale: December 21 - January 4, 2024 (major seasonal sale) Anyone know if there are any concrete chance to have a discount on the console in these days?
[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 10 points 2 years ago (3 children) My understanding is that the Steam Deck itself is sold at a loss, so if there is a sale it's likely to be only 10%, like it was last sale They had higher discounts on higher tier devices last sale, but I think it's more cost effective to just buy the lowest tier and a third party ssd. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago It depends on the tier of deck. The lowest tier is sold at a loss, but after than steam decks generate some profit permalink fedilink source parent [–] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I bought the base model on sale and got a 1TB Samsung SSD off AliExpress and in total it was cheaper than the 512GB model permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'll tell you what you don't have....

If you damage a component while you've got it opened up, that would void the warranty, but opening it up and replacing parts without breaking anything does not void the warranty. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Huh.
