It’s mad to think that we’re already two weeks on from Christmas, isn’t it? The decorations have now come down (take them down you lazy so-and-so), and normalcy once again reigns supreme. Luckily for us, and you, though, normalcy in January means deals, and tonnes of them.
So in the spirit of January normalcy, go get your hands on a new Steam Deck. If you head over to eBay and use the promo code JANJOY15, you can bag yourself a 64GB Steam Deck for just £306 from verified seller The Game Collection Outlet (we’ve recommended them many times!).
If you want something larger, then you can also use the same code to get the 256GB model for £332. All round, pretty tidy savings there. However, this deal will expire at 11:59 PM on January 10, so don’t delay if you’re looking to secure the offer. Another prominent deal in this offer is on the PS5 Slim Digital, down to just £351 for a limited time.
It’s worth noting that this deal is just for the baseline Steamdeck, not the OLED model. If you’re not too sure on the difference, some key things set them apart. The most prominent of these, as you may have guessed, is the fact that the OLED model comes with, well, and OLED display (the original Steamdeck is an LCD screen). This OLED screen gives a slightly crisper end product.
The OLED model is also a touch more power efficient, this is especially true in low-light settings, so you can keep playing for longer. All this being said, the OLED model is a few hundred quid more expensive and the original model is still a fantastic piece of kit.
Now I can already hear you starting to wonder, “But what about Steam Deck 2, when can we have that?” And to that I say, be patient, greedy guts. It’s not been long since we got the OLED model, and it’s likely to be a good few years before we see a brand-new model coming out. That’s not just me guessing, Valve designer Laurence Yang himself said: “A true next-gen Deck with a significant bump in horsepower wouldn’t be for a few years.”
