After it was leaked a bit too early, Valve have now confirmed and put up all three Steam Deck models to buy refurbished direct from the Steam store.

The confirmed pricing is:

  • Steam Deck 64 GB - Certified Refurbished: $319 / £279
  • Steam Deck 256 GB - Certified Refurbished: $419 / £369
  • Steam Deck 512 GB - Certified Refurbished: $519 / £459

    That pricing seems really good, you can get a refurbished 64 and a 1tb SSD for about the cost of a new 64gb. Seems almost too good to be true.

      What are you going to do with that SSD? The 64 GB version doesn’t have a NVMe slot, it works via a eMMC flash chip soldered to the board.

      Edit: apparently I was wrong

        Nope the emmc is on a card in the m.2 slot. You just remove the 64gb emmc and slot in the 1tb nvme drive. I did it to mine when I got it. I kept the 64gb drive in a portable nvme housing.

        This is incorrect, I got confused on this too. It is the exact same slot, the drive in the slot is just eMMC. Source - I bought the base version and slotted in a 2TB NVMe.

        I’m not sure about that, it doesn’t make sense that valve would have two different board designs for the steam deck & a quick Google search shows many videos walking through the upgrade
