This has, in part, lead to comparisons to the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, both of which released in November 2020. DO NOT buy a Steam Deck from an online scalper.Although its development was rumored earlier, Valve officially announced the Steam Deck on July 15, taking aim at a December release that seems to indicate that Steam Deck could become one of the big 2021 holiday sellers. With this in mind, the advice is straightforward. In other words, although asking for upwards of £1,000, if you pay this fee to the scalper, all you might actually be getting is a Steam account which has the £4 deposit paid with the remaining balance still owed. The main concern is that some of these eBay scalpers only sell access to a Steam account with an order in reserve. It should be noted that many of these scalpers could potentially be pulling a scam on consumers here.Īlthough the system itself costs (officially) between £349 and £569, to order a Steam Deck, you have a £4 deposit, with the full balance being due for payment immediately prior to the system being shipped.
– If you were, however, hoping that the Steam Deck was going to be immune to scalpers, then a quick check of eBay has already proven that not only are they all over this, but the prices they’re asking for it are completely insane! Steam Deck Struck by ScalpersĪlthough some people are selling their ‘reservation’ for the system at something approaching a reasonable price, a quick check shows that a significant number are already looking to flip systems for at least double and even triple their actual MSRP value. Following the official announcement of the Steam Deck last week, the demand for the handheld system has been surprisingly high, with even Valve themselves confirming that not only did their website temporarily shut down due to an overwhelming amount of traffic but that shipments for the system have now likely been delayed into Q2 2022 to ensure that there is enough on release to satisfy the orders already placed.
