Technically now an OzRRP post, but Valve officially announced the Australian release of the Steam Deck, shipping next month. Cheaper than current sellers so potentially some deals there if they drop their prices to sell their stock.

Did you make a profit buying cases? Always hear about some ultra rare skin being sold for ridiculous prices.
I didnt buy any, its all free weekly drop off I just didnt sold any.
I did open about 50 cases but very lucky i got 2 rare knife and 1 handwrap.
Yes. Exactly what I did.
Has anyone got experience making Epic or Xbox pass work on the SD?
Epic and GOG works with a third party app
I use NonSteamLaunchers on github
Just need to download Heroic launcher and it does Epic and GOG out of the box
I've successfully run some of my Battle.net, Epic, GoG, and Amazon Games, games, and also installed Discord with overlay.. I don't currently use Gamepass so haven't got around to trying it.
Everything negative I've said about the Steam Deck can now go to rest.
Finally, GabeN has manned up and is releasing it here down under.
Hopefully the warranty and all Australian consumer laws will be honoured here.
But I'm finally going to buy one soon!!!manned up
I see you 👀
So how doed this compare to say pc or console. I see so many like for rrp, is the a great device,
Please excuse my ignorance, isn't the LCD model the older one? I thought the OLED model (which is newer, I think?) suppose to be better?
Is it worth the price difference between 256GB LCD and 512GB OLED if I'm going to end up installing 2TB SSD anyway?
Correct. Bigger, better screen. Better battery life, among other things. They still offer the LCD model as a cheaper ‘introductory’ model I think.
Thanks. Is the price difference worth it if I'm going to end up installing 2TB SSD anyway?
Absolutely. Better battery life, better screen, lighter, better resale, screws that don't strip, quieter fans, runs cooler, and so much more!
Is that a website or app? Would be interested to check the value of the stuff I have in my inventory.
Our Lord, who art at Valve, GabeN be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in homes as it is at Valve.
Give us Lord our Daily Deal, and forgive us for our scams as we forgive those who scam against us.
And lead us not into console peasantry, but deliver us from Origin.
For thine is the Steamdom, the Gear, and the Engine, forever and ever, in Freeman's name I pray,
GabeN
That is so….steamy…and valve-y
Gabemen.
Oh wow about freaking time!
Eventually they'll even have refurbished models!
how good are these things as mini pcs?
i thought they were similar to a 7840u but apparently they are only quad cores, pretty disappointing
Clearly not understanding the point of this device as a portable gaming machine.
oh really, it's a portable gaming machine, what makes you think that?
I've always wanted one, but ideally I'd like something that can play Fortnite, which I don't think this can without jumping a lot of hoops (and I read people have still not been able to get it going). Would I be better off with either of the Asus RoG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go, or something else? But then, not sure I can play Steam games on those.
They're Windows machines. They'll play everything.
The Ally X is the one to get.
Thank you - that's the conclusion I came to as well
this is great news for those still waiting to purchase one.
would have gotten the 1TB model, but already got one from Kogan earlier.
for what I have been reading before, they were all right, I should have purchased one when the Oled batch got released.
with a bub around, this is really a great handheld, atleast for the games that I would play. the switch was good but very limited in terms of its hardware.
hope to see more SD owners here in Australia. 😊
Just sold $1100 of Dota 2 inventory on the marketplace. Very keen and waiting now
What playing game can get real money now???
Dota 2, and Counterstrike mainly
I don't play Dota 2 and my experience with Counterstrike is limited so excuse my ignorance, but to have accumulated $1,100 in inventory on a game like that is this primarily derived from many years of grinding or is it just recovering money that you have injected into the game via loot box mechanics or similar to buy the inventory in the first place?
what mmr nub?
Big if true.
It's on the official steam website, what do you mean if true?
Welcome to October
poor comment
As I have an LCD version already I'm tempted to wait on this - but would love an OLED one.
I wouldn't put it past Valve to soft launch the existing models here and then drop a new upgrade worldwide in about 6-12 months time, post Super Switch.What about screen burn in? If you leave your steam deck say afk charging or something with a static screen
A few Youtubers have done burn in tests on the Steam Deck OLED. Yes, there is burning on the OLED but this is after a significant (hundreds) of hours on a static screen where they usually use a custom program to hold the static image. Normal usage is never likely to get remotely close to what they're simulating.
Here's a recent one of the Switch vs Steam Deck OLED. But if you search on youtube you'll find quite a few videos and they explain how long it took for burn in.

I have a few rare items in CSGO along with about 300+ cases, does that mean if I sell them the credit in my steam can actually purchase this item???
Virtual money to purchase real physical item? Really?
