    It's worth mentioning that this is the LCD Model (Older Model) and doesn't have the bigger battery etc.

      Yeah I would pay a bit extra for the OLED model.

      And Switch 2 is coming out soon. For some people Switch 2 will be better than this, even though this can play like a million pirated games for free very easily.

        Soon being next year

          That's soon. I'm never going to die so it's just a blink of an eye for me.

        Can't wait to play Mario, zelda and supersmash all over again

        • AustriaBargain on 30/04/2024 - 21:37

          Absolutely. Every generation for the rest of our lives.

            @AustriaBargain: Well that's a contradiction, a few minutes ago "rest of our lives" wasn't a concept for you as a self-proclaimed eternal being…. this would only work for a blink of an eye? :-)

            …. I'm waiting for Switch 2 …. impatiently

          You joke but I played smash for thousands of hours and Botw is my favourite game of all time. So yes, I am excited.

          Can’t be any worse than playing Call of Duty Modern Advanced Black Ops Warfare V.

          +2

          Don't pretend Botw and Totk weren't amazing. Those two games along justify owning a switch.

          A modded OLED switch is also a pretty sweet little retro emulation machine.

            @creesy: Yes I bought a switch for those two, and yes they got boring after about 10 hours. Totk much faster since it was more a dlc than a different game.

        • vanyellow on 01/05/2024 - 09:46

          as much as i want to make a joke about Mario Kart 8 Delux being a re-release of the wiiu version.

          Atleast over time they added a map pack and more characters.. (almost like pc games in the 90/20's when an update actually included more content)

          rather than re-releasing the same game annually like anything 2k has made for the past 10 years..

        I think you're gonna need both

      • dione on 03/05/2024 - 14:14

        also please note that big probability that Switch 2 is LCD not OLED

        • Circly on 03/05/2024 - 14:50

          Lol it will be on the switch 2 pro out in 2029.

          By then everyone else will be on Micro Oled.

  • The Value on 30/04/2024 - 19:43

    Either get the OLED 512GB for around $1000 or the 64GB LCD for around $600 and upgrade the SSD.

    Also, 15%/22% off at eBay in 3 days. It may or may not work on Steam Decks but worth the wait.

    • CyberMurning on 30/04/2024 - 20:19

      Is it possible to get 64GB LCD second hand for $400 now? May bite one for fun at that point.

      • CHUNITHM Luminous on 30/04/2024 - 20:31
        +4

        Seems like people still want good money for them ($500+) at least used on eBay. If you were to buy from China there's plenty on the used market (Xianyu) for around $450 but you would need to pay shipping and good luck with returns.

        I'm not sure if you can upgrade the SSD in the 64GB model. I think it's only a thing for the 256GB model and up.

        • The Value on 30/04/2024 - 22:05
          +5

          You can.

          I've done it 3 times.

            +3

            @The Value: Yeah! You're right. Just looked it up. Not sure why I thought that. Might have been something else to do with the use of EMMC flash or something

    • Johnmorgantab on 01/05/2024 - 10:52

      There's also some 1.5tb SD cards getting around now if you can't be stuffed with changing ssd's

      • xuqi on 01/05/2024 - 11:55

        I'd change SSD over running software from SD card…. There's a world of difference in performance.

  • gruffjaguar on 30/04/2024 - 20:44

    What games are you guys playing on this that doesn't drain the battery too fast?

        That's poor

        • CyberMurning on 30/04/2024 - 23:21

          Agree. Very disappointing. Shouldnt be approved for production

    • AustriaBargain on 30/04/2024 - 21:09

      I use it as a mirror for adjusting my hair when it's turned off.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/226069045325 - SD OLED 994$

  • ZuluOz on 30/04/2024 - 22:05

    I've thought about getting one but $1k for the OLED is too steep for something that might get no use in a month, this is different.

    What's a few good casual games for the Steam Deck?

    • CyberMurning on 30/04/2024 - 23:21

      Emulator station

      • ZuluOz on 30/04/2024 - 23:28
        +2

        $700 is a pricey emulation station when there are so many other options.

        Any actual Steam games?

        • ReaperX22 on 01/05/2024 - 07:23
          +2

          Chained Echoes. Sea of Stars. Pixel games are perfect for steam deck!

    • ThadtheChad on 01/05/2024 - 08:27
      +1

      I have the original LCD, its awesome for playing older games on the go.

      Currently playing GTA IV. Next is Witcher3. Mixing it up with a few roguelikes, Hades, Dead Cells etc.

      Deck builders like Slay the Spire.

    • trankillity on 01/05/2024 - 08:29

      There's tonnes of indies. Farming sims, roguelikes, adventure games.

      I've personally been playing a lot of Balatro, Last Epoch, and Oddsparks on it.

  • Buyingcrap on 01/05/2024 - 03:20

    Is there anything on the horizon yet as for a hardware refresh for steam deck? Like better cpu/gpu version? Or is this still likely to have legs for a couple more years?

    • deadpoet on 01/05/2024 - 10:05
      +2

      The OLED model is a significant hardware refresh, they updated a tonne of stuff for it — there's various videos about this, e.g. Skillup's review. No news about the next significant performance upgrade yet — Valve are probably waiting for the next generation of chips, so I'd say that's at least a year or more away. My guess at this point would be 2 years.

    STOP!
