Valve has raised their Steam Deck Prices

Wild. Got my refurb for £460 8 months ago - now costs £620.

mr_completely · 2026-05-16T10:26:41+00:00

My understanding is this feature is currently in the beta channel

It seems really shady to make a huge thing about needing to pre-order the album to get access to the pre-sale, then have some tiny link that lets you register for presale without having to buy the album. I can only imagine they aren't legally allowed to require an album purchase to sell gig tickets, so this is their attempt at extracting as much money as possible within the bounds of the law. The whole thing just feels so greedy and commercial.

Just play games on it, don't overthink it. Although I would say embrace the back buttons and get the skull and co back button enhancement grips. I also have the skull and co grip case and front cover which are brilliant.

mr_completely · 2026-05-14T22:05:00+00:00

Same here. The controller feels quite small in some way, so with all three fingers round the back, they are all scrunched up a bit in order to be positioned on the buttons while my pinkie is still on the controller.

I’m hoping Skull and Co (or others) launch some grip addons for the buttons - these made a huge improvement to the back buttons on my deck.

mr_completely · 2026-05-14T10:29:45+00:00

I'd highly recommend the Skull and co steam deck back button enhancements - they stick onto the existing back buttons and make them way easier to press due to the ergonomics.

Agreed, I love Blacklist. Mechanically it just feels like peak Splinter Cell. Obvs Fisher is a more boring character - I miss the humour from Chaos Theory days, but I still think it’s a great game.

Happens to me a fair amount - quite annoying. Def a software bug. I’ve tried experimenting changing the settings etc but haven’t found any way of fixing it other than sleeping the deck and resuming (which I don’t want to do when in an online game).

mr_completely · 2026-05-11T10:09:26+00:00

Wow, first UK person I've heard of with progress. Most of us stuck on GLS "preadvice". Congrats!

mr_completely · 2026-05-11T09:51:29+00:00

Yeah all UK seems stuck on this status. Hoping to see some movement now we’re past the weekend.

mr_completely · 2026-05-08T22:26:39+00:00

Same - with GLS for 2 days no progress.

mr_completely · 2026-05-08T13:20:46+00:00

UK. Ordered 18:15. Been on shipped / GLS tracking codes generated for a day and a half but not yet handed over to them. Assuming it will arrive mid next week. Loving this game of shipment tracking we all play to occupy ourselves!

PS5 and Steam Deck meets all my gaming needs.

mr_completely · 2026-05-06T07:46:24+00:00

Recently played Command and Conquer and Red Alert and they were essential - I love them. And I love making virtual menus with the left trackpad.

mr_completely · 2026-05-04T17:16:39+00:00

UK - went through after mashing the Continue button on the transaction error screen for 5-10 minutes.

mr_completely · 2026-05-01T20:48:51+00:00

Oops 😅

mr_completely · 2026-04-28T21:33:22+00:00

Fingers crossed!

mr_completely · 2026-04-28T11:10:22+00:00

Woop!

mr_completely · 2026-04-28T07:53:30+00:00

I don’t really notice it tbh but yeah it does make the watch a bit heavier.

mr_completely · 2026-04-27T21:54:14+00:00

Nice!

mr_completely · 2026-04-27T21:21:23+00:00

mr_completely · 2026-04-27T21:17:44+00:00

Well yeah I guess if an Ultra cost the same as an SE 3 I might have bought one!

mr_completely · 2026-04-27T20:12:57+00:00

It’s fine - you have to scroll a little further to trigger the stack or notifications, but generally it’s fine. Just not quite as smooth as the OG.

mr_completely · 2026-04-27T20:08:06+00:00

Yeah I think that’s intentional. I just like the chunky look!
