  • It was the smartest thing they could’ve done. By opening preorders and judging by the LCD release as an experience, most people would’ve tried to order right away to fight scalpers. The anti resell strategy of this release was brilliant and it’s totally worth the wait. I received my PS5 day one when it released, but I had friends waiting months because of that stupid system of preorders then releasing systems slowly



  • All OLED panels, not only steam decks are susceptible to dead pixels, but boe seems to be more common. All OLED models have an issue or two, so it’s a gamble nonetheless like LCD was pretty much until Q4. Headphone jack with static sound, mushy dpads and buttons, track pad issues, etc. I got the LE and got lucky with everything else but the headphone jack (it’s a common issue on regular OLEDs too). I am a fan of transparent tech and I thought getting an LE was worth not having to swap it myself like I had to with my LCD. There’s no wrong answer, so follow your heart


  • Yeah, did my 2tb swap last night and had the same feeling. It was a little more annoying to open than the LCD and that black plate had me second guess myself because I really wanted to unplug the battery first. Some people have carefully yanked it from under the plate and also replaced the SSD without unplugging it or removing the ribbon cable, but I thought it was too risky to do so without seeing what I was actively doing.
