I'm looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?

Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.

Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.

You can connect any controller really. Either via Bluetooth or cable (you'd need to buy a dongle for cable controllers tho).

As for which version, I'd say go with 256 and get MicroSD card if you need more space. That is, unless buying the 512 model would be cheaper than 256gb model + 256gb card, then I'd recommend you 512 model
