I’ve been selling some stuff in order to break-even when buying a SD, and that same week they announce the OLED. It’s unfortunate that the base model for the OLED is €569,-. I would have loved it if there was a 256GB, for maybe a €100,- cheaper so I can afford it better and also later upgrade if I would want to.
This is the only reason why I’m still debating whether or not to buy a cheap LCD model, I mean it’s still the steam deck, just not OLED.
Do you guys think they should’ve gone with a cheaper base model?
As much as it would be nice for a cheaper model, it’s ridiculously expensive to redesign a product and retool a factory. I’m not going to fault valve on that. I think the new 256 LCD base model comes from leftover parts on the last production run.
