The 256GB and 512GB Steam Decks come with some digital rewards, such as an exclusive steam profile customization bundle and a unique virtual keyboard (keyboard is 512GB only). Previously these rewards were not available to refurbished deck buyers, but Valve plans to change that and make these rewards available regardless of whether you buy new or refurbished.

    As a day one buyer, I’m happy about this. Exclusives for people who buy early or pay a premium are silly. I just happened to be fortunate and lucky enough to get my Deck earlier, but the more the merrier.

      If you buy it secondhand from anywhere but valve, it just depends if the previous owner claimed the digital goodies or not .

      Might call around to your local GameStop’s and see if they have any in stock. I think they dropped the requirement to be a GameStop pro member(or whatever it’s called) to buy one there.

      I just wish it was even an option in my country. If I’m a little ahead on bills this month, I think I’ll pick up the base model.

      I’ll just add a ssd for canabalize my 2016 MacBook Pro for the ssd. Im pretty sure it’s compatible.

      Until then, I’ll use my 512microsd card.

    If you enjoy it, that’s fine, but the only thing more stupid to me than caring about digital exclusive perks would be being upset that other people get them.
