GameStop and Valve now offer refurbished Steam Decks

If you’re looking to save on a refurbished Steam Deck, you now have two reputable retailers to turn to. Both Valve and GameStop now offer refurbished models of the Steam Deck, amounting to a 20% savings versus the standard price of Valve’s popular handheld PC.

Prices are almost identical in both stores. The 64 GB version from either store is $319.99 ($399 new), while the 256 GB costs $429.99 (it’s $419 at Valve, down from $529 new). The 512GB version is $519.99 at both stores ($649 when new).

GameStop’s stock is available only to GameStop Pro customers and can be found in stores (there is a convenient tool for tracking participating locations). It might be your preferred route compared to buying from Valve if you’ve got some GameStop store credit burning a hole in your pocket. Valve makes shopping easier.

All refurbished Steam Decks sold through GameStop are packaged within a carrying case, and come with a 30-day warranty that allows you to return or replace the item due to any hardware failure or accidental damage — the same coverage that you’ll get with other GameStop-refurbished hardware. Valve also offers refurbished decks with the same warranty of one year as the new ones. They come packaged in a carrying case, along with a refurbished adapter and carry-case.

In case you’re still weighing your options, GameStop recently revamped its $25 per year Pro membership, which gives you $5 of in-store credit each month while you’re a member, with an additional $5 applied when you renew. Pro members are also entitled to a 5% discount on pre-owned games and consoles, in addition to GameStop’s protection plans.
