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

              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.
