We would assume stocks are limited, so pick your poison and get one before it runs out.

As expected, the price of the Steam Deck in the Philippines is higher than global retail SRPs, which isn’t surprising given the supply chain issues and a shortage in stock that plague the device.

For comparison, the Steam Deck in the US retails for USD 399 for the 64GB option (around ₱22,300), USD 529 for the 256GB option (₱29,500), and USD 649 for the 512GB option (₱36,200).
