Abstract
A rare steam deck prototype has just sold at $ 2,000 on eBay.
It opens up for BIOS right now, and it doesn’t have stamus built -in, so it can’t play a game.
Regardless, this is a valuable piece of gaming history.
Yesterday, a surprisingly rare steam deck was sold for $ 2,000 to drink with eyes.
In question is steam deck A “early valve engineering 34 prototype”And there are some major differences in the retail version. Several parts of the console, such as bumper and ‘A’ and ‘B’ buttons, are light blue, are circular track pads and are more sticking, and analog stick is a right joy stick. The console itself has even more obvious curved edges.
There is a big stamp on the console back that says “not for sale” – Oops.
This is definitely a more part of a collector’s item than a working handheld, as it still opens to BIOS and does not have a built -in stamo. Argo, they can’t play a game. With some festivals, they may run it like a normal steam deck, but what they want to take risk of harming it by use is another question. Already, “the left touch pad is loose” and “two wires have been disconnected to run vibration feedback”.
There are many steam deck prototypes, and each is unique
Steam passed through deck A lot of repetition Before exposing, with switch style separate controllers, orange and blue schemes (probably a drama on the portal, especially with aperture desk job tech demo), more trilateral corners, and even touchpads versions have been removed.
Something was strange. Someone had a strange hand hanging with open slots for TV remote -shaped controllers. And many are not even a traditional DPPad, instead of separate buttons. Thankfully, the valve abandoned the idea altogether.

You can get better performance on your steam deck a day
The latest Linux update, if implemented by the valve, can one day improve your sports on steam deck.
Many of these variations will be present somewhere in the wild, and it is no surprise that they bring a beautiful money. They are part of the history of gaming, indicating different points in the development of the steam deck before landing the valve on the final design. SUCH 2,000 does not look so bad for such a rare collector’s item, especially since the limited edition White OLED model goes from $ 800 to $ 1000.
It would be interesting to see if Buyer It may work, giving us the impression of how it feels to play with bulkier track paddes and low flush buttons. But I will not accuse them if they trap him in a glass display cabinet.
