I’m sure the headline should say “once sold out, they’ll only be available on the second-hand market”. Not gone forever though.
With the way that memory prices are going, Valve is going to bring back the 64GB model.

I got the 64gb intentionally to just put in a 512gb myself. Was no problem to do, and saved quite a bit on the price difference. I’m extremely happy with the device, but don’t use it nearly enough.
Honestly, that’s probably why they are consolidating manufacturing around less SKUs.
Everything sucks.
Aye, I owned both. Got an LCD when it first came out and bought an OLED when they came out. Treat yourself, in all situations of visual screens OLED is better.
On the other hand, the LCD is perfectly fine.
Man and it’s so much less hot, less heavy
Disagree on the oled thing. Oled is better in a lot of cases, specially if everything on the screen is constantly changing. However, for a computer that will be displaying the taskbar 70% of the time its not ok. Oled burn in is a thing
To quote Rtings:
under normal circumstances, with mixed usage, burn-in isn’t an issue
Even if your task bar is on 70% of the time, you’re not going to see any significant burn-in.
Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.
I can replace my LCD with an OLED, right?
No.
I just got a 2nd LCD during the sale. Unfortunately it was broken and I’m still waiting on a replacement. With any luck they’ll send me an OLED one instead 😜
Good night cheapest game box on the market.
I wonder if DDR prices are a factor. They might lose too much with the lower proved model compared to the OLED models.
These have DDR4 RAM, right? But Gaben did say that the original $399 price was difficult to hit, so any small increase in component prices might make it impossible.
Look on OfferUp and you’ll see folks coming out of the woodwork trying to sell 64gb DDR4 for $300-700.
jfc I gave away two sticks of this a year or two ago because I didn’t need them anymore. if only I knew.
“If I keep the price the same, how will I afford my fifth’s yacht’s docking bay for my smaller yachts?!”
If Gabe Newell was going to fund something with his personal finances why in living fuck would he subsidize a games console instead of donating to charity.
Already out of stock
I love mine ❤️🥹
yep I’m still using my lcd cause I see no real reason to upgrade. I love it immensely 💕
I ran out of 512 so fast on legion go s, (sd card reader sucks) Couldn’t go with 256, but ive heard steam deck has a decent reader
I own an OG Legion Go and owned a Steam Deck prior to that. The Deck’s SD card reader is definitely better.
I have the 64gb LCD and run most games off sd card. With a quality card, it works really well.
I just got a 256GB steam deck. It’s do able. But you’ll want a PC nearby with your games installed. Then it’ll just download it from your PC for lightning fast installs.
The Deck’s reader does the full 80MB/s UHS-I well enough. It works well electrically, but the ejector sucks. I’ve picked up my system, and had the card randomly hang out like 😛. It is vital to tape over the card to keep it from wandering off on its own.
I put a fast 512GB SD card for dashcams in mine, and it works fine.
