Hey folks, I wanna gift a steam deck to myself. The main games I’ll (infrequently) play on there are CS:Go and age of empires 2 HD, both of which I own and never get a chance to play on a regular PC.

I suppose I want the OLED one. Is it ok to go for the 64 GB version or should I go for the higher storage tier? It has expandable storage yeah? Or is that not reliable or fast enough?

Also, what’s going on with the pricing? It’s just obviously better to buy direct. Why are people trying to sell it on Amazon? I get people trying to sell on eBay and Craigslist but Amazon? What’s the deal there?

    The OLED has a nicer screen. Apart from that they are all pretty much the same performance wise. The expansion via SD card works very well. You can swap the internal ssd but it’s not recommended. I’d buy it directly from valve if you don’t want to buy used. Their support is quite good.

      Not entirely true - OLED has a not-insignificant performance improvement, and has much better battery life
