MODERATORS
They’ve delayed it so long if they ever do release it on our shores the hardware won’t be justifiable as a purchase.
Pretty sure Lord GabeN still holds a grudge against us from that time the ACCC sued Steam over local pricing and consumer protection laws; so we’re very unlikely to ever see local hardware releases.
I ended up getting mine through an eBay seller a year ago - no regrets so far.
Would you recommend the LCD model over the OLED model?
The OLED model has slightly better performance due to a newer version of the same APU. So it's not just the screen that is better.
That said, I have a very early LCD model I love. The OLED is not a big enough upgrade for me to consider buying it. But if I were buying new I would get an OLED.
The only OLED feature I couldn't go back to missing is the Wake Over Bluetooth functionality that lets you use your controller to bring up the system. Not huge for some, but when you've got a docked setup it's heaps more convenient.
This article is just plain misleading. The LCD switch is cheaper than the Steam Deck LCD 64Gb at the moment even with the 15% off.
Good promo article though, had me checking.
The 64gb deck is $296.65 new on sale, and the switch is still $300, no? The article is weird because it says less than $390 at the top, but the 64gb is only $350 not on sale (while they last anyway).
Great to see that the steam deck is cheaper in the short term and the long term.
Uhh pretty sure I paid $300 for my switch.
Well the sale finally convinced me to pick up a SD. I got the 512 GB LED version. Hoping it comes in before the weekend, but I ordered on Saturday night and it still hasn't shipped.
I picked up Portal 1/2 for pennies and Witcher 3 for a few dollars.
I'm super excited but no one I know seems to be interested!
