64gb is only really worth it if you intended to immediately upgrade the drive. Shader cache and updates stay on the main memory even for games that are on an SD card, over time it will fill up. it's worth going for the 512 for a seamless useable system. Just my 2c as a deck owner.
I splurged for the 512GB on sale after looking at used 256GB ones. Only about 100€ difference. Eagerly waiting for mine to arrive. Any tips for a newbie?
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it, they're great machines. Only tip I have is take a few minutes to learn how to use steam input. Once you can craft your own context menus and input schemes, it unlocks a ton of potential. Take advantage of the gyro, touchpads and rear buttons. It totally changed how I play truck simulator, and I set up a custom scheme for city of heroes, tons of fun and very usable for an MMO.
Nice, thanks! I am already looking forward to the controls of Steam Deck, looking at your and the other comments about it!
