I just bought the 256GB Deck at the beginning of this month and it arrived on the 10th for $529. On the 13th they announced the OLED Deck and dropped the price of the 256GB Deck to $399.

I wrote to Steam customer service and asked if I could return the deck and purchase the OLED model for $30 more and they wrote back with two options:

  1. return the deck, get a refund, and then buy the OLED model

  2. keep the deck I own and get $130 in my Steam Wallet.

I’m not sure which option to choose. On the one hand, $130 is a nice chunk of change to buy some games. On the other hand, a brand new, bigger, and nicer deck is worth waiting a couple weeks and $30.

Any advice?

      Boost puts an exclamation point at the beginning of the link that shouldn’t be there. It’s a bug. Delete it and it will work.

      ETA: I checked the link, and 87% sRGB coverage isn’t very good. I’d want to see it in real life before buying one.

      A friend of mine got the Deck HD and it looks good. I couldn’t tell too much of a difference between it and the stock screen’s color gamut but it was good regardless. The only thing I noticed off about it was that the pixels around the edge of the bezels seem to be underneath it a smidge, giving a weird effect of the edges getting cut off if you look at it at a weird angle.

      I’m fairly techy, though I’ve been trying to move away from a lot of it.
