Yes I get that it kind of sucks having just bought one and then a new one gets announced but some people are in a panic now. Your Deck is not obsolete. It is still the best handheld pc you can buy right now. Enjoy it.

    How is your older vrsion of the SteamDeck is not obsolete, when it was Valve themselves, who thought: Ohh let’s sell original refurbished Decks with full varanty by Valve, to fk re-sell value of the Deck. And then continued selling the Steamdeck LCD for full price, not saying a word about a new version of the Deck. And then suddenly releasing it, for the same price as the old Steam Deck, just with better configs like better RAM speed, 1 TB SSD, and an Oled.

    And because it is the same price, they were like: Oh, let’s fk re-sell value of SteamDeck LCD even more by dropping the new device price by quite a bit, and yes, remember, we sell original refurbished Decks by Valve, lets drop refurbished prices by alot.

    All of these within a single year. It was already known, that by Steamdeck LCD Release date, the device was already overpriced for the hardware they offered by that time, compared to the progression of hardware and price that very moment.

    But Valve didn’t care about how value-less Steamdeck will become in price for customers. They just tohught of themselves only, by doing these moves like selling refurbished Decks and now dropping it by more than half of the prices, especially for the 512GB Model.
