We've searched many retailers to see if they offer lower prices for new Steam Decks, but we haven't found one cheaper than what Valve is offering. The official store has the best prices for new models right now.

You can opt for a refurbished Steam Deck from GameStop if you're tight on money. The retailer sells the 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB versions for $278.99, $319.99, and $359.99, respectively. Ordering online and picking up the item will save buyers even more money.

Each refurbished Steam Deck from GameStop comes with a carrying case and an AC adapter. The standard manufacturer’s warranty doesn't apply to any GameStop refurbished products, but Limited Protection Plans are available for purchase.

As of writing, the Steam Deck OLED hasn't been released yet. Buyers may have to wait for markdowns on the newest handheld.
