You might even want to wait for it to be released and read/watch reviews before you make your decision, so don’t go giving your money to these scalpers just yet. Online marketplace eBay will take down listings for Valve’s Steam Deck handheld device because the practice violates the website’s Presale Policy, the company told Kotaku. It is still kind of unproven even though the concept is promising, so for all we know, it might not sell very well at launch, or it could sell like hotcakes in which then these scalpers will definitely have a market that they can tap into.Įither way, it’s probably a better idea to just wait and see. That being said, we’re not sure what the availability situation will be like when the console is launched. The worst case scenario is that this is a scam and you’re out $5,000.

It’s kind of ridiculous because the console isn’t even available yet, so what you’re buying is basically a pre-order of a pre-order, and that’s the best case scenario. Whether connecting your Steam Deck to your living room TV, setting up on your work desk, or charging on your night stand, the Dock is perfect for extending the places and ways you can use your Steam Deck. However, it seems even ahead of the console’s release, scalpers are already listing pre-orders for the Steam Deck on platforms like eBay where they have already hiked the prices up to as much as $5,000 in some cases. The Steam Deck Docking Station props up your Steam Deck while connecting to external displays, wired networking, USB peripherals, and power.

It is priced at $399 and it is expected to go on sale by the end of the year.

It is a novel idea but also one that holds a lot of potential. This is basically a PC miniaturized into a handheld console form factor that will let gamers play PC games while on the go. Last week, Valve announced the Steam Deck.
