    • Sale 41-5 Exeter
    • Luke Cowan-Dickie, Gus Warr and Raffi Quirke also score tries

    Sale were long overdue a result after a run of six consecutive defeats stretching back to before Christmas, but this remarkable six-try victory was sweet beyond their fondest imaginings.

      Valve’s year-old Steam Deck is on sale for the first time

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Thursday, 16 March, 2023 - 22:11

    A fun Valve video showcases some of the highlights from the Steam Deck's first year.

    Valve is celebrating the first year of official availability for the Steam Deck with the hardware's first-ever official sale. Those looking to buy Valve's portable hardware can get a unit for 10 percent off until March 23 as part of Steam's regular spring software sale.

    In the US, that translates to the following price reductions for the various Steam Deck configurations:

    • 64GB eMMC: $399.00 down to $359.10
    • 256GB NVMe: $529.00 down to $476.10
    • 512GB NVMe: $649.00 down to $584.10

    Even a temporary price drop would have been hard to picture for the Steam Deck just a few months ago, when the hardware was still enjoying a months-long run atop Steam's top-sellers list and Valve was still struggling to fulfill launch-day preorders in a timely manner. But Steam Deck units have been available without a preorder since October and are now set to be delivered one to two weeks after an order is placed.
