Not ATL, but still a damn good price, especially for those who missed out on the last two deals.

 - I got mine in the last deal. 2TB plus 1GB sdcard. - its a brilliant little device  - Yeah same. Great there was an OzB post for the exact HDD needed, shortly after the SD deal was posted. It's actually better than I expected, with all the customisation and plugin options available. It works perfectly even for things like streaming from my Plex server. 
 
 
 - My Afterpay maxes out at $600, anyone know if you can mix it with an eBay giftcard and still have the discount code work?  - yes you can.  - Sweet, ty! 
 
 
 - come on under 600 will be magic  - RRP is 399 USD - Currently 625.20 AUD - Doubt we will see USA RRP, let alone below it by a significant amount. 
 Especially because of GST. - valve refurbs are $319 and were just available last week which might eventually come in and get to around $550 sometime in the future?  - Refurbished isn't the same as new though. 
 
 
 - Anything under 650 is near ATL. 
 
 - Next best price after $400 Kogan cc  - What?  - Probably referring to churning the Kogan black credit card. Which depending on what bonus offer they have available at the time gives you $300-500 in Kogan credit. And Kogan sell steam decks.  - Yer just looked, you need to spend $3000 first up 
 - yep, this 
 
 
 
 - 399 USD = $625 AUD - 625 + GST = $687.50 
 - I'm considering getting one for my girlfriend. I've built her a pc but she doesn't really have space for it cause she prioritising her space for sewing instead. - Issue is… I don't wanna buy her one if she's not going to use it haha.  - Honestly, don't surprise people with expensive gifts if you have no idea whether they'll use them. You'll only end up disappointed. If you have a SD yourself, let her have a go for a bit and see if she gets hooked or not.  - She likes it. But just like how she likes a gaming pc, it's a different story if she wants to play it long term haha  - Yeah fair enough, hopefully she'll get a lot of use out of whatever you wind up getting. 
 
 
 - Rig out the sewing machine instead.  - Haha pimp my ride, tailored to your needs edition.  - Pimp my sewing machine? Lol 
 
 
 
 - Is this shop on eBay safe to go through? - What happens with the warranty within the year of the store goes bust? Does ebay help out?  - Well, given that they're going strong almost 6 years after someone else asked that on ozb I think they're pretty safe (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/331875) - Ebay is a marketplace, they won't help with anything if you're a year into your purchase. 
 You'd have to go through…whatever the appropriate government agency is.- Their ABN is ABN 21 605 576 574  - In that case would it be safer and better to buy at a higher price from Kogan?  - Well in terms of chances of shutting down, kogan is less likely, but I don't think either of them are even close to the possibility. 
 Up to you.
 - Kogan can still be a pain to deal with too, they'd likely be a bit easier but nothing like jbhifi or Officeworks for how good they are with returns.  - @lancesta: Yer I’m still on the fence to get one or not. I have all the consoles as I’m a console gamer and don’t own a PC. Was thinking this Steam Deck tho it plays PC games it would be like the closest thing to a console - But worried about getting games that don’t work on it 
 
 
 
 
 - I was a doubting Thomas but not anymore. Steam Deck is a very wise investment indeed. 
 - Just in case anyone didn't know, you can get the steam deck really cheap with the kogan black credit card when they have the $500 gift card promotion - I combo'd with discounted gift cards and credit and only paid $70 out of pocket (down from $769)  - Sorry i might be a bit of simp, but can you explain this a little more? - Get the kogan black card, do the spend to get the credit and buy the steam deck? But only they have it at $500 not $300?  - Yeah not worth getting the Kogan card unless they have the $400/500 credit offer imo. As it's a once in a lifetime bonus for that card that you can't get again in 12/18months like most credit card bonus offers. 
 
 - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/784275 - Probably a better offer at the moment seeing as Kogan is at $300 for now. Plus the minimum spend is a lot lower/easier. 120k NAB reward points converts to $600 in eBay/Amazon/JB. Probably others idk. I just bought an induction cooktop and tool storage cabinet with my $500 Kogan credit cuz I'm old and boring now.  - Thanks for the heads-up. Can you cancel the card and skip the annual fee after taking advantage of the points?  - I did read some people in there were able to meet the minimum quick enough to get the points and cancel, I'm a slowpoke tho. 
 
 
 - Just in case you didn't know, just refinance your mortgage, and get like $4k bonus. You can buy a few steamdecks and not be out of pocket. 
 
 - Price is back to 799, so $699 with discount  - it's almost like its organized price increases, because there was 1-2 other sellers around the same price, just $1-2 higher, and they ALL increased price at the same time.  - Damn  - Back in stock at 786 (so 686 with afterpay code) 
 
 
 
 - Bought one last deal, just replaced the SSD and now whenever I'm not in a game (browsing library or desktop mode) after 5 to 10 minutes the screen will freeze for a few seconds, then turn black (but illuminated) and stays that way unresponsive until I kill it. Soo… any chance anyone has any advice? A quick ssd test in terminal seems to return fine, may reimage later tonight.  - I don't have one nor have any experience with one but yeah I'd be hitting up an os reimage first and foremost for a device like this. Let me know how you go  - sure thing, will just commit to a reimage now 
 
 - gracias, if a reimage doesn't work I'll ask for help  - I’d ask straight up first 
 
 
 - what SSD did you replace with and how much paid? - where did you get the SSD?  - did you get 1TB? 
 how long it takes to arrive from aliexpress?- anyway to know if the part is genuine brand? - how much you paid for it? 
 
 
 
 - https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/z9x1eb/psa_if_yo… - Check the first comment too, someone mentions a troubleshooting guide to resetting your GPU 
 - No afterpay but keeping an eye, next ebay plus good deal I guess 
 - Can you still pay the entire thing with eBay gift cards and skip afterpay?  - I'm pretty sure you have to pay at least some of it with afterpay. 
 
 - Suggestion on the ssd to buy?  - Got the 2TB from this deal. One of the recommended ones for the SD. The Sabrent Rocket is also a popular one, but also more expensive I believe.

64gb Steam Deck with a DIY SSD upgrade to 1 or 2 TB is the best bang for buck value. The SD is extremely upgradable and easy to self repair, and has a heap of great software plugins as well. Can finally get through all the games I've gotten in Steam sales over the years and never touched.
