When Valve announced the Steam Deck back in 2021, it attached an attractive $399 price tag to the handheld gaming device's starting configuration. While this edition has gone through some changes since then, like upgrading the 64GB storage from eMMC to 256GB of NVMe, the price has remained the same. However, Valve is finally letting go of this cheapest model.

Who said anything about raising prices? How do you know they won't just drop the price on OLED to simplify manufacturing and distribution?

This end of production means that the $549 512GB OLED Steam Deck has now become the entry model.

It isn't. You can still buy the LCD, last I checked.

I checked in multiple regions and you seem to be simply wrong.

Damn, they sold out fast, I guess.
