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?

    Valve already pretty much stated that the base model pricing was “painful” to get to US $399 when it launched but they had to do it to compete for the masses especially those comparing it to the Switch pricing. Considering the massive redesign for the SD OLED, I’m not surprised that they only relegated it to the midtier & up for the OLED upgrades. OLED panels also cost more to produce as well.

    There should never be a SKU with lower than 256GB of storage. Ever.
