That may sound weird to you, but my favorite devices are those that grew on me and became special.

Like the Nokia N900, my first Gameboy or my favorite X24/X60 thinkpads. They have served for years and have a place in my heart.

My steam deck became special too as it took this type of special place.

I will not abandon the poor thing to the siren of a lightly upgraded hardware.

We have still great gaming times to live.

    Is that 1000 CAD?

    I would personally suggest the 512GB OLED Deck over the 1TB one.

    Then subtract the cost of selling your current device.

    But yeah, Steam Deck 2.0 is probably 2-3 years off. Hopefully with all of these improvements and more.

      Yeah the limited edition is around $971 Canadian lol, I’ll wait it out unless I win the lottery this weekend 😅 it’s an amazing looking update but I can’t justify the extra. New users though are going to be super happy, I’m excited for everyone really, this success guarantees us a successor in a few years.

        Haha, yeah I’m not worried about the LE to be fair. I’ll put a nice skin on it instead to make it feel mine.

        I’m just hoping this means that the next Steam Deck 2 will also be OLED. I’m hoping it’s not a Nintendo situation, where they release a Switch OLED, but the next Switch is rumoured to be an LCD panel.
