I see comparisons between the Rog Ally and Steam Deck are still ongoing. I own both, my two cents:-

The Steam Deck is the more polished product (the OLED is the one to get) - better joysticks, ergonomics (for my regular sized hands), far better battery life, superior and stable software experience. Triple AAA games often won't run well on this if that was your intended use. On the Rog Ally it quickly drains the battery (~1-1.30hr or less, perf mode, turbo mode is atrocious), where I would need to be near power source/dock, even considered buying a battery pack. I mainly prefer to play high demanding titles on my console/gaming PC, for a better gaming experience.

The Rog Ally is the more powerful, but has terrible battery life, runs on Windows - not the best software experience. And it fried my micro sd card containing my emulation files + the port itself - common fault if you google. The big plus is that as it runs on Windows, it is compatible with all PC games. The Steam Deck lags behind here, being Linux based. See ProtonDB to check compatible games for a more informed decision. To Valve's credit, this list has grown considerably over the years.

Ultimately, once Microsoft smartens up and builds a proper handheld OS with optimisations, and Rog Ally fixes the micro sd card issue with improved battery life, I would easily recommend it for others. For now I understand the rationale why the Steam Deck is the more popular, it's the better all round handheld product. (edited)

Frying SD cards... thats more than just a little fault. They should be liable.
19th Apr
Those on the know... This vs something like the Retroid Pocket 4+ for emulation only?

I have a Steam Deck (1TB OLED) but don't want to play with it for emulation...I also have an Anbernic RG353PS, would the cheapest Steam Deck plus a SD card be better value than the RP4+ for emulation?
19th Apr
Can't you just use your OLED deck and install all the emulation stuff to the SD card?

Had two faulty refurbished Steam Decks in a row from Steam. Takes ages to get them replaced, because the only way of contacting them is to send a message, which they then take 24 hours to respond to. Then it has to be shipped to Prague, before they’ll send the replacement or refund you.

After the second faulty one, gave up and got a refund. Got a refurbished ROG Ally instead. Aside from just working, IMHO it’s a significantly better gaming experience than when the Steam Deck was working 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rog ally is a far superior device
20th Apr
64gb model then upgrade the SSD to 512gb/1tb yourself. Most cost effective option. Worked for me
20th Apr
Difficult or easy enough?
19th Apr
Is this or the Asus Rog alley better?
21st Apr
Having owned both I kept the steam deck. The power of the ROG ally is great but whats the point when it chews through the battery in no time at all. Steam deck is a better balance of power and battery life for me. Which to me is the point of a handheld.
20th Apr
Genuinely think the 64GB Deck is just about the best hardware deal in gaming there is. Add a £28 2230 drive from CEX and you really can't go wrong.
20th Apr
Yeah that's how I would do it as well. Literally zero difference between the 64gb and 256gb models (512gb has the anti-glare which I found not worth it)...

Just buy a cheap 512gb-1tb SSD and you're sorted. The install process is simple as well

My boyfriend has just bought one of these and every time he plays helldivers it sounds like an airplane taking off

I've just had to send mine back for repair, only got it at Christmas. It developed a fault where the volume was always go down, even if you hold the volume button up or use the software volume slider. Restarts etc didn't resolve. Looking online it seems to be a common problem. I do hope they fix it as I was loving it these last few months.
20th Apr
does anyone know if these deals will still be available around start of july as Im holding off till then
20th Apr
They seem to crop up every few weeks, but there's no guarantee of course.
21st Apr
What emu software is the best for this anyone? Don't mind rolling my sleeves up, putting a bit of work into it if it's better software? Had a quick look on Google and there seems to 3 or 4 options...
28th Apr
Batocera. Boot from sd. Does all the hard work.

22nd Apr
All in stock currently!
25th Apr
Has anyone received their SD?
25th Apr
No but parcelforce say they are delivering today
27th Apr
Can’t go wrong with a 64gb for £249, upgrade the SSD to 1tb - you’ll have a solid handheld gaming console for less than £350; and if you aren’t too invested in an OLED screen and slightly improved battery/fan operation, I’d say go for it!

I pushed for the 512gb OLED because I was selling some gaming stuff anyways, and I don’t regret it one bit. I’d have been very tempted with a refurb though, given the indepth process Valve appears to undertake.

For those wondering about delivery - tracking seems a little hit and miss, shipping from Netherlands and landing in the UK, with mixed experiences with Parcel Force tracking updates (mine was out for delivery, still showed 30miles away when it arrived!). (edited)

Question, I think the answer is yes
If you buy a stream key from say cdkeys, said game is verified working by steam on the deck, the key will work on my deck?
3rd May
Yeah as long as the region is correct (Cdkeys should say if it'll work if your region is set on the website) then a code you get from Cdkeys will work every time when you enter it into steam.
19th Apr
Genuinely don't know the point of these. Using it outside get about an hour on battery if 1080p 60fps So have to have it plugged in anyway. Why not just use a gaming laptop (edited)
19th Apr
Don't see the point of gaming laptops. Just read a book, they have great battery life.
19th Apr
Hopefully we see some oled models refurbished soon
19th Apr
That’s what I’m waiting for
22nd Apr
Overrated if ur at home why play on this
And if your out and playing on this you just look like such a neek
24th Apr
When you are a man you don’t care what people think
19th Apr
Not bad. Hope oleds get discounted soon
20th Apr
Steam Deck vs Switch. Who has both and which one would you play with more? :P
20th Apr
Deck all the way
22nd Apr
It's so annoying, in stock add to basket and can't checkout :/
22nd Apr
Finally snagged one
20th Apr
The steam deck is such a crazy bit of kit for the price. PS2, PS3 emulation is really good, plays lots of games at great FPS, I’ve found the Xbox and PS5 steaming to work really well.

My most used gaming device in years.
20th Apr
Which one would you buy?
20th Apr
I appreciate this isn't a deal, but if you purchase through paypal you can split the purchase over three months. I got the 512gb OLED and it's around £159 per month. Makes it a bit more manageable if you don't have the expenditure in one go. You might be able to do this with refurbished models too, just note the 'pay in 3' can be tricky to spot.
19th Apr
got a new sealed 1tb oled on eBay for £520 delivered yesterday arriving tomorrow . if you can stretch the extra £200
19th Apr
Can you drop a link to the listing please 🙏
20th Apr
Great price. I've personally got the OLED model and that is the one to get (owned the LCD model previously)... but this is a fantastic entry level price.

As for comparisons to the ROG Ally also remember you can install windows on this, even in dual boot if you swap out the SSD for a big enough replacement.

I'm running mine with a 2TB drive from Aliexpress (£80), both SteamOS and Windows 11 using a clover dual boot setup.

It's lovely!
26th Apr

It’s here!
26th Apr
nice, when did you order?
19th Apr
That's pretty good price for the 64GB model.
Great option for someone who wants to dip their toes in handheld gaming.
27th Apr
And cheap to upgrade the SSD in the 64gb to 1tb yourself
20th Apr
Can I buy steam cards to make this cheaper for the 64GB Model?
20th Apr
I believe so, yes.
20th Apr
Hopefully they will do a discount on the OLED model soon.
20th Apr
No chance
20th Apr
Had a steamdeck for a year. Use it a lot. Sure some aaa games don't run well but a surprisingly large amount do (currently playing midnight suns - even got a steam deck patch and plays great). Great for gaming in bed/sofa/holiday. Steam have done an excellent job optimising the deck post release too.
20th Apr
One if the best purchases I've made. 64GB version is plenty enough for previous gen titles and emulators, especially if you stick a 512gb SD card in. Beyond that you may need to upgrade the SSD, which is easy enough.
20th Apr
I'm gonna hold out till the OLED ones are certified refurbished. I think it will be worth the wait and plenty to keep me going in the meantime
20th Apr
Thanks for letting us know
21st Apr
Had a change of heart and bought a 64GB one. Looking forward to putting a new SSD in, should be great
26th Apr
I've just managed to nab the 64gb version 😁

Been on the fence for a while and at £249 I'll take a punt
22nd Apr
The fact that this is only sold through 1 site and needs to be sent to Prague for repair is not worth the hassle. Rog and Legion are just better overall
22nd Apr
Also, windows and other clients run properly, as opposed to with Steam.
20th Apr
Don’t forget to add the price of a decent power bank on top of this because you’ll be needing one for its pathetic hour battery life it’s basically a keep on charge device
20th Apr
It's impossible to drain the battery in an hour. Sounds like you have a faulty unit.

You haven't been taking in the shower have you?
20th Apr
64gb out of stock
20th Apr
64gig appears to be back in stock. Just ordered one! 🏻 🏻
20th Apr

20th Apr
Any good deals on 1TB SSDs for these?
20th Apr
People got bored of this already in less than a year 😁
20th Apr
No this is just the old version…
20th Apr
Oh! it's a gaming thingy saw that headline and thought where do you get the coal? and where do you stoke it up?
