Looks like I’m spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I’d be purchasing from either place; it’s just another example of Amazon’s enshittification.

    So I just got a steam deck… A little birthday present to myself.

    My local microcenter sells nothing for it… Neither does best buy. And if best buy did I wouldn’t over pay anyway at that failing store.

    So… Amazon it is. 40 bucks and two days later I have a silicone case, anti glare screen protector and a cheapo dock.

    I didn’t want to get all that shit off amazon… It was just the most convenient place and in my case the only place.

    If anything amazon needs to crack down on these bs Chinese sellers.

      I haven’t bought anything at Amazon for like 6 or 7 years now. Alternatives always exist, but you have to look for them. So many people act like there is no option but to submit to Jeff

        Like what? 2x the price for worse hardware?
        Feels like the only alternative for reasonable priced stuff is AliExpress (in regards to electronics)

      Sometimes Amazon has the stupid low priced widget that I need, at a lower price than anywhere else, with next day delivery…

      Like… Fuck…

        They have a most favored nation policy, meaning that people who sell on their platform can’t have a lower price anywhere else than what they have on their platform.
