@petsoi well, used the discount which makes the large one the same pricing as the refurbished version. Order went out yesterday. Happy and curious 🤩

Time to buy an official dock I guess…

My experience with the official dock has been quite negative, it would sometimes not work until the power cable is unplugged and then plugged back - that is with all the latest stable updates for everything. Other people on Steam forums run into this issue too.

I’ve noticed the issue too late for a simple refund process and their support was not cooperative at all.

I recommend looking at other docks instead, will cost you less and work better.

I already have several others but wanted the officoal one since it has DisplayPort. Hopefully I don’t run into the same issues, but I know now there are third party options with it as well.

That’s too bad. I guess I’ll 3D print something to hold the deck and just buy an Anker dock instead. I’ve been only playing handheld for now, but it would be fun to hook it up to my TV at some point.

I got the basic version during the last sale and put in a 2tb ssd, works freaking amazing

Possible dumb question… did you install an internal ssd? Or is it just a pluggable jump drive

How about sell out in Australia. I mean it’ll be 2 years old before we know it, and will we want one then?

You said what I came here to say.

If the steam deck 2 is announced before the Australian release - im waiting for the 2.

Kogan sells them, as they have offices in Australia you should have some semblance of protection
