I dunno about DIY at home though.

The video by Valve themselves say not to open Steam Deck, then shows and explains why by showing how tightly coupled the hardware is.

They won't stop you of course.

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.

At that price I can't afford not to!

Yeah, grab the 64GB and slap a 512GB SSD in for $50 and you've got a steal.

In the US:

• 64GB is $399
• 256GB is $529
• 512GB is $649

According to here:

• 64 GB costs $419
• 256 GB costs $549
• 512 GB costs $679

Especially if it comes with the same warranty as a new one.

You mean the anti-glare one on the most expensive version? I would say it's a nice addition but nothing revolutionary. It really makes it nicer to play in sunlight, but it is making colors a little bit darker. I don't feel much of a difference with colors, however. But I would say just for the screen, the price hike is not worth it. And remember - it's not something that a screen protector can't do, I think you can buy one with the anti-glare protection.

I have a 64gb with a large sd card. My recommendation is to get a 256gb. You will feel space starved with installing different versions of Proton, the shader cache(?), and the emulated Window's user folders.

If you get the 64gb you basically have to get an sd card. If you get bigger then you might not ever have to if you play relatively small games and you don't mind managing installed games.

I got the 64GB and swapped the SSD for a bigger one. It was painless and now I have 1TB of internal memory for less than the price of the 256GB model.
