By the time you read this comment, it's most likely gone.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

Can confirm that there are none in stock in the US.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Out of stock in Canada as of this comment.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

(Me being smart) Depends when you read the comment (checking the time of reply) never mind 17 hours ago. It's out of stock for Germany too.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Europe has completely different stocks

Check back regularly

I got steamOS on a levono legion go, its a good alternative if you don't mind messing with the install

[–] Drasglaf@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same but with Bazzite, it works great. I just miss the Deck's trackpads, the one in the Legion Go isn't half as good.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, the pad should be larger, but I usually use joysticks or keyboard and mouse, so I forget about it.

I think the refurbished ones are under appreciated. They have manual calibration by a human, and therefore can exceed the standard factory model:

All refurbished units meet or even exceed the performance standards of new retail units.

The only downside is, it can (but don't have to) have visible cosmetic blemishes. But in return you get same experience and rights of a factory model with lower cost, which is a huge deal in today's day and age. This is the reason why I consider my next Steam Deck 2 (OLED) as a refurbished one. I can wait. :-)

Plus, you help with reducing e-waste

I tried for like an hour this morning, kept clicking the checkout button and it would just reload the page. One time I got to the page to enter shipping details but after that got a message saying it was no longer in stock.

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Flashbacks to 2020 and trying to buy a videocard.

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

In Germany everything is out of stock.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Lol, there's isn't even a price under the lcd model!

[–] bonenode@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Those are not being reproduced for a long time now, it was all refurbished stock previously. Of course, if they keep listing it they might expect something to sell at some point.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Hmm, mine (Germany) still have prices attached to it (refurbished LCDs).
