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?

    I use the SD daily and dock it from time to time to play with my family with knockoff pro controllers. I haven’t experienced any drops and I had the straight at the ground issue maybe like a year ago but haven’t had any issues with it in a long time. Can’t speak to any performance issues but I can confirm that the product has been getting refined.

      Nice! Glad to hear it’s gotten better! I haven’t tried in a long awhile so I’m not surprised it’s fixed

        Yeah the big issue I’ve had lately is remote play together, but I can’t tell if it’s the Internet connection or buggy software. It just keeps dropping out and the streaming option doesn’t work; which would be nice because discord doesn’t stream well in gamescope mode. Some of the recent updates were targeting it but no luck.
