A note about that super generous Civ 6 giveaway, it's region locked pretty hard:

• SEA: receives the ROW version {sub/400092/}) (confirmed) even though a locked package exists

If you don't plan to craft badges, then sell your cards. Gems are needed to craft booster packs, in order to get more cards to complete your set.

I have no idea what most of that is, so sounds like selling is the thing to do.

I am more of an extreme case, but I managed to get about £80 (80 euros/$100) selling cards last year. Took a week to idle my library and a month or two to get there. I will say I have over a 1000 games in my library at this point.

I did it again a month or two ago, sold about 100 cards. Managed to get another £2.00 back.

This goes to show how the small amounts add up. I can't say I'm inspired, but selling will also clear out my inventory, which is sort of motivating.

There are worse reasons to want a game.... like anime!

Drat, I didn't think to check. FYI, I'm from SEA so it should be the ROW key. Is it still redeemable in those specifically listed regions, like the US and EU?

My (very) cynical thoughts to deflate hype (Please ignore if you like hype) --

This will be yet another Valve HW that will get massive attention for a short span, will have lot of issues/odd design choices for general customer orbe very expensive or little availability, and will fizzle out in an year or 2 before being pulled off from production.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I don't see the price, how much is it?

Base 64 gb model for 399, theres more expensive 500~ USD models that come with NVME SSDs

 

[fantomena]

What regions can I reserve Steam Deck from?
Customers in the United States, Canada, European Union, and the United Kingdom can reserve a Steam Deck. Information about expanded regional availability coming soon.

 

[Gintaro]

Hopefully I am able to officially purchase in in my country!

The pricing doesn't sound bad at all considering the GPU hellscape we're living in. I think availability is gonna be what makes or breaks this.

 

[PhaZZe]

is this the new bpm?

 

[sanhora]

Surprised $399 turns into 419€ rather than 449€. I was expecting worse.

 

[fspm]

You can watch Avatar in IMAX or on Steamdeck, the experience is identical.

 

[Xclash]

Yea I'm down...skipped the GPD Win 3 and the others for this.

 

[ExistentialThought]

Holy! YES! Day one purchase, hope I can reserve.

 

[Prodigy]

Hmmm now that Valve has done a VR, a controller and a handheld etc... I wonder if they are allowed the 30% yet.

Really feels like they should have gone for SteamPal.

nope

 

[thekeats1999]

While I have some issues with control pad layout, I could see me trying to grab one next year. This looks exactly like the sort of thing I could go for. VN's and puzzle games in bed.

 

[sanhora]

IGN says the control layout isn't terrible.

Curious to see how it'll feel with that button placement.

 

[Gevin]

Is the 30% cut fair now?

 

[ZKenir]

probably going for the 512GB version

 

[xinek]

If I can pair my 8bitdo to it, that would be much better.

 

[Alextended]

Glad they called & emphasised it as PC rather than go for clickbait steam console/handheld crap

It looks pretty sweet, but I doubt I can justify it over upgrading my desktop, if only I could do both

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Is the 30% cut fair now?

Since this is an enormous investment in hardware it absolutely is. I anticipate Tim Sweeney will be working to release Fortnite on Steam with haste.

 

[Shantom]

Incredibly ugly.

Spoiler

pls let me reserve it already

 

[Yoshi]

Is the 30% cut fair now?

Expect the goalposts to be moved.

 

[Prodigy]

Damn, watching the IGN video makes it actually seem really great, especially with how customizable it is. I can see people loading emulators on this thing. Or if someone needs your PCwhile you are in the middle of a game, then you can swap and just stream the game to it, and then playing in bed or on the couch etc...

 

[Nabs]

I wish consoles would implement capacitive touch analog sticks, so people can feel the true awesomeness of gyro.

399 is a very reasonable price. Gimme that Steam Controller 2 now.

 

[Li Kao]

Hmm, wouldn't the base model be problematic sd speed wise vs the higher models ?

 

[ScreamingTrees]

I was thinking of the 256GB version being the one for me but I want to know more about the "Premium anti-glare etched glass" in the 512GB one

 

[Dinjoralo]

Yo, is this gonna be the new Big Picture? I like it...

 

[lashman]

Is the 30% cut fair now?

nope ... SteamDesk doesn't count

If I can pair my 8bitdo to it, that would be much better.

99% sure you can

 

[Panda Pedinte]

It looks like it's big based on the IGN video but I want one

 

[Li Kao]

Fuck me, evidently the better screen is 700. I can't reasonably do more than 400.

 

[Yoshi]

IGN says the control layout isn't terrible.

I'm very glad they addressed that.

The Steam Deck is quite big!

 

[fantomena]

Im very into it, but until Norway is an official release region for Valve, I won't care.

 

[Dinjoralo]

I want one... But I definitely don't need one. I'm fine doing my portable Steam gaming through my phone with the Steam Link app and an 8Bitdo controller.
If I had to put a huge amount of cash towards anything, it would be a new GPU.
