Storage options include 64 GB for $399, 256 GB for $529 and 512 GB for $649.
Aside from different storage and display options, all three units are identical.
The Valve Steam Deck has three configurations. All configurations pack "Van Gogh" APU and 16 GB of RAM.Steam Deck review: Price and availability But even in its current form, this handheld is exactly what I wanted. In fact, Valve even revealed that it has been making some slight hardware upgrades under the radar as issues are discovered. Valve can (and likely will) address some of these issues via future updates.
The battery life also leaves something to be desired. You can’t play every game in your Steam library, and the touch-based controls aren’t as precise as I would have hoped. WE LOVE BRINGING YOU THE BEST GAMING AND TECH BARGAINS.Despite its virtues, Steam Deck is still something of a work in progress. I look forward to hopefully seeing a few more Steam Decks out in the wild in Australia over the coming weeks, and it’ll be interesting to see if we do get an official release soon. If you’re buying from Valve’s online store and using a postage forwarder, (you’ll need to use a VPN and a US credit card), you’ll be paying roughly $650 shipped for the 64GB Model, $850 for the 256GB model and roughly $1000 (but beware of the GST surcharge over $1,000 for the 512GB version, so honestly, the ability to just buy it from one of the below Australian retailers and have it ship within a day or two (locally) would be what I’d be doing. Steam Deck 512GB – $1,475 with free shipping.Steam Deck 256GB – $1,179 with free shipping.Steam Deck 64GB – $886 with free shipping.It’s important to note that these are likely independent marketplace sellers that are selling on these retailers, so look into feedback etc. In terms of warranty etc, you’ll need to look with each specific retailer what their policy is given that these are obviously international units. Now, if you’re wanting to buy a Steam Deck officially through Valve’s US store, you can do that and get it shipped here, but the prices on the Australian retailers that we’ve mentioned are quite comparable to the point that I’m not sure if it’d be worth it anymore. It’s 2023 and there’s still absolutely no sign of Valve dropping the Steam Deck in Australia either on its own, or through a retailer such as EB Games like it has in the past with the Valve Index, but as noted by Always-On, that hasn’t stopped retailers such as Catch, Kogan, Dick Smith and Amazon’s marketplaces importing units and selling them in Australia.
