And, separately, Valve has temporarily stopped selling the $649 1TB model of its Steam Deck OLED in the US and Canada, citing unspecified supply chain constraints:Steam Deck OLED 1TB models are temporarily out-of-stock in the US and Canada as we adapt to recent supply chain constraints. Mind you, the $549 512GB Steam Deck OLED is the model I’d recommend anyhow. It told us about the first $50 price increase in March, and quietly raised the price another $50 before launch. While the SteamOS version is much improved over the Windows one, it’s not a clear winner over the Steam Deck in performance, battery life, screen quality, or comfort in my tests. I still would not recommend buying the Windows Z2 Go version, which has been discounted down to the same $599.
