I don’t think they’ve ever had any sales for hardware. The only discounted hardware I’ve seen was the refurbished Deck.

They have absolutely had sales on their hardware. I am pretty sure they’ve put deck on sale every year since it came out.
As for building my own, yeah I know, and I’ve considered it many times. But I absolutely dread working in small form factor, and this thing’s size was one of the main appeals for me.

They’ve definitely had new steam decks on sale before. Mine was 20% off just last year.

That was before the RAM shortage. It’s going to be at least 1 full year before RAM price start going down and they can offer discounts. Unless the AI bubble pops. And that’ll have huge economic consequences.

The original Steam Controller and Steam link went on sale for about 5€ each.
