When Valve announced the Steam Deck back in 2021, it attached an attractive $399 price tag to the handheld gaming device’s starting configuration. While this edition has gone through some changes since then, like upgrading the 64GB storage from eMMC to 256GB of NVMe, the price has remained the same. However, Valve is finally letting go of this cheapest model.
I would imagine it has more to do with the OLED version being way more popular. I just wish the OLED had been out when I bought my Deck. no point buying it again just for the upgrade, but I would have gladly dropped more for the better screen when I first bought it.
