Valve recently raised the price on the Steam Deck, making the handheld gaming PC cost up to $949 for the 1TB OLED model. While that's a massive $300 increase over its original price, the Steam Deck is once again sold out.

This is why I went ahead and bought one last January, It’ll probably last at least 5 years(i hope), and I can pirate and emulate games much more easily than on a console to keep my entertainment budget lower. Just a year early

    I bought one at launch (not OLED though), it's still going strong. They made a really solid device and if anything breaks (which hasn't happened yet), it's easy to replace. I used GeForce now for the first time this month and it was really smooth and it's great the console doesn't heat up with it.

    That being said, I think it's too expensive now..
