Steam Deck OLED out of stock in U.S., with fears that memory shortage will prompt price increase

Buyers who were procrastinating about purchasing a Valve gaming handheld are feeling regretful. The Steam Deck OLED has disappeared from the U.S. storefront, with stock levels sporadic elsewhere. Facing component shortages, the manufacturer may be considering a price increase.

    Time to sell mine! Where can I do that? And if you say Facebook marketplace, that is absolutely a no go.

    This is a weird generation of consoles. If you’re an early adopter, you probably saved money. That sorta thing never happens.

      The old ways are gone, possibly never to return in our lifetime. My PS5, Steam Deck, and mid-range 2021 PC will have to do for the foreseeable future.

    The RAM shortage is only temporary, it will pass. But the popularity of the Steam Deck is opening the floodgates for more mainstream Linux devices.

    I’ve never seen a shortage not followed by a glut.

    I mean, true, but I don’t think the Machine and VR headset are competing with the Deck.

    New hardware is coming out soon. This is not unusual before a big product launch.

    Hopefully they only increase prices in the US. I don’t want customers from other countries like in the EU make up for Trumps stupid tariffs.

      I went over to the Steam Deck website and all models are sold out.

        Yup, the article focuses only on OLED, but only because that’s the “news”. They had previously reported the LCD model being out, which I hadn’t heard about yet.

          They announced LCD going out of production and once run out, it would not be restocked. This was a few months back I think.
