    It’s a disaster. I bought my Steam Deck like 2 months ago. Now I want the OLED version, of course.

    This announcement also means that the 64 GB Version is gone and the non-OLED 256 GB version will be the New Entry model.

    Very, very good. Pricing seems okay as well. Glad the specs are the same so games will work on both versions. Saving straight performance upgrades for the next version seems like the right move.

    Very interested in upgrading but I can’t justify it to my wallet. I love my Steam Deck as is and often use a portable external screen with it anyhow.

    I’ve had my deck for a bit over a year now. Yes, I will justify this purchase. I need that new colorway. Oh yeah and all the upgrades are nice.

    HDR OLED is huge for me. I will be upgrading and selling my current Deck to pad the cost. Hopefully scalpers and bots won’t ruin the launch date.

      Apparently they’re limiting sales to one per account per week, so hopefully that stops bots. It did with the original at least.

        And the account has to have prior purchases older than the notice of this release. So only the most forward thinking scalpers who made hundreds of accounts after last release will be able to compete.

    I need that limited edition, it looks EPIC! I already have two Decks but man I need that one. The only complaint I have is they didn’t upgrade to a VRR screen, but OLED will be a nice upgrade in the image quality.

      True, but it also has a better battery, it weighs less, performs slightly better, and the storage options are better by default than the original.
