Little doubt paying attention to the numerous aftermarket options for giving the Steam Deck a transparent plastic makeover, Valve&#8217;s gone forward and made its personal, official model.<\/p>\n<p>The restricted version Steam Deck OLED shall be accessible for buy alongside the usual fashions on November 16, however solely within the US and Canada. It comes within the 1 TB NVMe configuration, so I would anticipate the identical $650 price ticket until Valve fees a premium for the colorway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>The plastic is rather less translucent than, say, an atomic purple Sport Boy Coloration or Jsaux&#8217;s customized shell replacements for the Deck.

It is simply over a yr since I put up 650 clams for my unique 512 GB deck, I want far more time earlier than I attempt an improve. I am actually feeling the sting of OLED envy, however woe to those that purchased their Steam Decks in October or November of 2023\u2060\u2014you may have my sympathies.<\/p>\n<div
