It's a great time to buy a Steam Deck. Valve's refurbished LCD Steam Decks are back in stock, and for a lower price than ever before. The used devices are available for cheaper than they are new, making them a solid option for folks who want a Steam Deck but don't want to pay full price.
This isn't the first time Valve has offered its handheld gaming PC in refurbished condition, but it is the first time that we've seen the price drop so low. With its stock now refreshed (although it is going fast), Valve is offering the refurbished Steam Decks starting at $279 for the base 64GB eMMC model. That's roughly $70 less than the company currently charges for a brand-new device (and $40 less than when it first started offering refurbished Steam Decks). The 256GB NVMe model and 512GB model are also now available refurbished at $319 and $359, respectively. That makes the largest LCD model more affordable than buying the smallest OLED version brand-new. At this time, there is no word on when or if Valve will offer the OLED model as refurbished.
While buying a device like this refurbished might sound risky, Valve promises that it has thoroughly tested all units, and that the only issues present include cosmetic damage, like marks or scratches. Everything else is promised to deliver the same performance as a brand-new Steam Deck. To back this up, all refurbished models come with the same one-year warranty as a new Steam Deck.
Refurbished decks also come with the same carrying case that brand-new Steam Decks come in, giving you something to keep your handheld safe while transporting it from location to location.
At the time of writing, the refurbished 64GB Steam Deck is sold out, so it's unclear how long the others will have available stock or when the 64GB model will get more in. Either way, this could be a good opportunity for many to get their hands on Valve's handheld gaming PC, which remains one of the best values in gaming handhelds right now.
While the LCD Steam Deck's slightly smaller display might not be as appealing as the Steam Deck OLED's, it remains one of the best ways to jump into handheld PC gaming, especially at these lower prices. If you'd rather hold out for the OLED Steam Deck, then you can always purchase one of those starting at $549 for a 512GB storage option.
