The thing that irks me about these new model releases is I don’t want to upgrade for a minor improvement and then a year later a new model with slightly better improvements drops and I have to spend another $300+ for it. I’d rather Valve to offer the ability to open a return request and upgrade for the price of the modules and they upgrade your old model Deck with new parts you selected. It also keeps older model Steam Decks in circulation and keeps them relevant and prevents waste.
I don’t think valve wants to hold onto a bunch of decks we have opened up and messed with then try to resell those decks while taking a huge hit on newer deck prices because they are giving consumers a discount on the price.
Doesn’t add up cost/ money wise for them.
I want the OLED but I cant get it because mine works perfectly fine and no one wants to buy it. I’m in limbo and will just stick with my deck because the price it will sell for is pretty much worthless to me.
