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?
Check here if a cheaper refurbished model is available in your region: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamdeckrefurbished
I have owned both, the LCD and the OLED one and there really isn’t that much of a difference.
Yes, I would go for the OLED. There is no OLED with 64 GB, only with 512 GB and one TB. Alternatively, you could go for the 64 GB IPS model, which is quite cheap.
Every Steam Deck can be expanded with micro SD cards. I don’t notice a difference where the game is stored, but I also don’t track startup times with a stopwatch ;) But please buy a decent micro SD card if you plan to extend your storage.
