By the time you read this comment, it's most likely gone.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 17 points 5 months ago

Can confirm that there are none in stock in the US.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

(Me being smart) Depends when you read the comment (checking the time of reply) never mind 17 hours ago. It's out of stock for Germany too.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 months ago

Europe has completely different stocks

Check back regularly

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Out of stock in Canada as of this comment.

I tried for like an hour this morning, kept clicking the checkout button and it would just reload the page. One time I got to the page to enter shipping details but after that got a message saying it was no longer in stock.

Flashbacks to 2020 and trying to buy a videocard.

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Its like buying a PS5 all over again.

I got steamOS on a levono legion go, its a good alternative if you don't mind messing with the install

[–] Drasglaf@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Same but with Bazzite, it works great. I just miss the Deck's trackpads, the one in the Legion Go isn't half as good.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, the pad should be larger, but I usually use joysticks or keyboard and mouse, so I forget about it.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think the refurbished ones are under appreciated. They have manual calibration by a human, and therefore can exceed the standard factory model:

All refurbished units meet or even exceed the performance standards of new retail units.

The only downside is, it can (but don't have to) have visible cosmetic blemishes. But in return you get same experience and rights of a factory model with lower cost, which is a huge deal in today's day and age. This is the reason why I consider my next Steam Deck 2 (OLED) as a refurbished one. I can wait. :-)

Plus, you help with reducing e-waste

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 9 points 5 months ago

In Germany everything is out of stock.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Lol, there's isn't even a price under the lcd model!

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Hmm, mine (Germany) still have prices attached to it (refurbished LCDs).
