![Should i wait a Sale to buy the Steam Deck?? | [Discussion]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/176d3413-3195-4716-b297-aa3316dc5101.jpeg){kind=link}
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?
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.
It depends on the tier of deck. The lowest tier is sold at a loss, but after than steam decks generate some profit
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
I’ll tell you what you don’t have… White zipper pulls.
And a warranty.
they both do?
Doesn’t replacing the ssd void the warranty?
No, it does not. 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.
Huh. I thought just opening it voided that for some reason. I was misinformed.
Yep as my 64gb ssd is filling just from downloading and redownloading vulcan shaders every time an micro sd card is inserted with steam games.
