We lately noticed an enormous Lenovo Legion Go deal go reside in Europe, and posited that this was a superb signal that extra gross sales, or perhaps a full MSRP drop, was on the way in which. Effectively, lower than every week later, a worth reduce has landed for the Legion Go within the US and Canada, and whereas it isn’t fairly the acute deal we noticed in Germany, it nonetheless will get you $50 off the present retail worth.
As the most effective handheld gaming PCs, the Lenovo Legion Go stands out from the group due to its unmissable 8.8-inch 1600p show and Nintendo Change-esque removable controllers. This deal lowers the worth to $649.99 for the 512GB mannequin and $699.99 for the 1TB model, with each offers ending on Sunday, March 3, 2024.
The primary signal of the deal was caught on The Recreation Awards Twitter (X) account, which has completed lots to advertise gaming handhelds previously, together with a number of giveaways during the last two years for the Steam Deck LCD, Steam Deck OLED, and Legion Go.
Whereas the deal solely provides you $50 off, it exhibits that manufacturers are being extra energetic with pricing in the intervening time. That’s no shock, provided that the MSI Claw is about to launch on the identical worth level because the Legion Go and ROG Ally, regardless of MSI claiming it has extra energy, due to its Intel Core Extremely APU.
We’ve but to see any main exercise from Asus relating to the ROG Ally worth, and handhelds from Jap producers, corresponding to Ayaneo and OneXPlayer, are inclined to exist in a separate pricing bubble.
That being stated, one model with no intention of shifting its worth is Valve, and that’s as a result of it nonetheless leads the market with the bottom MSRP, regardless of having essentially the most recognizable and profitable product lineup.
We count on the Steam Deck OLED will proceed to be in excessive demand, that means no worth reduce or low cost is important, as it would merely put a pressure on manufacturing, which might be dicey at one of the best of occasions.
When the MSI Claw drops, we count on to see extra worth motion within the type of time-limited reductions, however Asus and Lenovo will battle to keep up the present MSRPs for his or her units if the Claw lives as much as MSI’s claims.
