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.

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

    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.

      Just like GPU shortage was temporary… Oh wait.

        The shortage was temporary, the price increase was not.

          Any reason why it should be different with RAM?

          Also the GPU shortage hasn’t gone anywhere as shown by the 50xx cards release and with Nvidia saying it will not even release new GPUs in 2026, it’s only getting worse.

              Who in their right mind will sell it cheaper than the competitors?
