All depends on how much you enjoy being tied down. I have been doing a lot of gaming on the go lately so the Steamdeck is well worth it. I can’t remember the last time I have booted up my gaming PC since my Steamdeck purchase.

Also as someone else mentioned online FPS gaming is a bit more limited on the Steamdeck due to Linux and the anti cheat’s most online games use. I’m not well versed on the topic but that is something to keep in mind if there’s workarounds and such.

It seems as of now that it’s based on which screen you get. As far as we can tell the non LE models went with the Samsung display and the limited edition models got the BOE display. As someone who has a LE BOE display and one center screen dead pixel I can say that unfortunately I’ve experienced this. I’m sure this will get downvoted as a large majority of dead pixel LE complaints seem to be getting downvoted but you can always do your own research and see what you feel more comfortable purchasing.

The same goes both ways - I was downvoted for just being indecisive as to what I want to do after noticing a dead pixel on my LE model. Within the first minutes of it being posted I was already getting downvote hammered. There’s shills that go both ways on this subreddit it seems.

Just checked as well… have one that I can see in the test but yet can’t notice it when playing. Wondering if I should RMA it or not

Just picked my LE OLED off the porch - Doing the updates now. I am interested in the side by sides. Now to figure out what to do with my old deck.

Mine said Wednesday but looks like if everything goes to plan estimated date is now Tuesday. We shall see. Just curious, does anyone happen to know if a signature is required for these packages?

Heh, just got the notification my limited edition has been packaged. I didnt get to order it until around 4pm est so that’s a good sign for a lot of LE purchasers.
