Lo, behold the latest creation from the wondrous minds at Valve – a limited-edition white Steam Deck OLED, a marvel to behold just in time for the festive season. No, dear reader, it is not the fabled Steam Deck 2, but a splendid offering nonetheless.
Valve hath unveiled this ethereal device with a price tag of $679, a sum slightly dearer than its equivalent Steam Deck OLED 1TB variant. Fear not, for Valve doth assure us that this new creation shall possess all the same specifications as its top-tier sibling – a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, an HDR OLED display, and a battery of 50 watt-hours. The only distinction to be made is its new color, a pristine white that doth come accompanied by its own carrying case and a microfiber cloth of a matching hue.
In the realm of commerce, the Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White shall be made available for purchase at 3 p.m. PT on November 18, in lands where the Steam Deck doth currently sail. Take heed, for each account may procure but one, and an erstwhile purchase on Steam ere November is required. Valve, in their wisdom, hath decreed that only a limited number shall be crafted, and once this supply is exhausted, the opportunity to acquire the white Steam Deck OLED shall vanish like a wisp of smoke.
Valve hath spoken to Eurogamer, sharing that the success of this limited edition may guide future decisions on potential color variants. The white, a breath of fresh air amidst a sea of darkness, doth add a touch of elegance to the Steam Deck’s design, reminiscent of consoles of yore.
‘Tis the second time Valve hath ventured beyond the original design of the Steam Deck, presenting us with this beguiling white variant. The black facade, though serviceable, lacks the charm of its new counterpart. A change in hue can transform the mundane into the sublime, as evidenced by this limited-edition creation.
In a twist of fate, Valve also bestowed upon the world a limited-edition translucent 1TB Steam Deck OLED just a year prior, also priced at $679. Verily, the realm of gaming doth witness the evolution of technology in all its splendor.
