If you've been patiently waiting for Valve's Steam Deck to go down in price a bit before locking one in, today's your lucky day. The handheld gaming PC is on sale for the first time ever since launching a little over a year ago. It's finally time to claim one of these portable powerhouses, especially since all three models are discounted.
This Steam spring sale(opens in a new tab) discount nets you 10% off each configuration: the 64GB is now $359.10, down from $399; the 256GB is now $476.10, down from $529; and the 512GB is now $584.10, down from $649. Each model comes with a carrying case, but some versions include extra upgrades. The 256GB comes with an exclusive Steam Community profile bundle, while the 512GB comes with premium anti-glare etched glass, an exclusive carrying case, the profile bundle, and an exclusive virtual keyboard theme.
The sale is going on through March 23, so you've got a few days to snag a Steam Deck at a discount. And if you're wondering whether you should, the answer is a resounding yes. Mashable reviewer Adam Rosenberg praised the Steam Deck for its ability to "turn on and play traditionally PC- or console-centric games" and its "Switch levels of approachability."
