    Hmm, I bought my 64gb on Nov 1st in South Korea at one of the “authorized retailers”. The retailer itself has like a ZERO % chance of doing anything as far as exchange for new 256gb at previous 64 gb price or some form of price matching to new 64 price.

    ​

    Anyone else in Asia and in a similar situation? I submitted a ticket to valve to ask their advice and also to Komodo (the asia system for Steam decks)

    According to Steam’s hardware refund policy, the refund window is 14 days :

    Hardware Refund Policy (steampowered.com)

      Depends on where you live, pretty sure it should be 30 days

      He’s asking about price matching. Not a refund

        Same thing in this case. Steam will not price match when outside this window.

      That’s not Steam’s refund policy, that is consumer rights protection laws.

        You can call it whatever you want, friend, fact is that Steam will not refund or price match after that 14-day period.

        I’m considering filing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. This is bad practice.

        UK consumer rights are 14 days of receiving the goods not the purchase date.

    I bought a 512 in September 17th sale, and it’s been in RMA this whole time. I’m not eligible for refund. Praying they ask me if id rather return it instead of wait longer for the repairs. Brand new steam deck btw.

    Just got mine in yesterday, hoping steam will price match since it’s still in the refund period.
