The 512GB model of the Steam Deck is back in stock via trusted retailer The Game Collection on eBay, and what's more, you can pick it up for just £360 with the code CLEARANCE20. Not only is this a tremendous discount, but it's also the best place to buy the portable PC right now, considering the 512GB model is currently out of stock directly through Steam as well. This new deal is part of a new clearance sale for retailers via eBay, which isn't as sitewide as previous promo codes, but still includes some reasonably notable offers.
This includes Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth down to just £47.96 right now, and Fallout S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Anthology (PC) preorders for £38.36. This code is the latest in a series of eBay codes, but this one only applies to selected items, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for which items are in the sale and which are not.
One of the other best deals in this code right now is the chance to snag the best deal for Stellar Blade that you're going to see before its launch. Preorders for PS5 are currently discounted using the same code (see here), with over £14 off the RRP and bringing the game down to just £55.96 for a limited time in the latest sale. With the game releasing on April 24, this could be your last chance to secure a discount before launch day.
Earlier in the month, Stellar Blade Korean developer Shift Up published – and then unpublished – a demo for its upcoming sleek action game, Stellar Blade, ahead of its launch on PlayStation 5 next month. A demo for the game officially went live over the Bank Holiday weekend and can now be downloaded on PS5.
And, while we're here, we also thought we'd let you know about the amazing offer ongoing at VoucherCodes. Spending £30 or more at eBay during the sale? You can get a £10 grocery voucher for free, or £20 if you spend £60 or more (see here for more details). This is well worth taking advantage of if you're making any purchases in the easter sale and beyond, so keep it in mind.
