The answer is the same that it's always been: If you are buying a Deck to play exclusively bleeding-edge AAA games, you're doing it wrong. The Deck is a lifestyle upgrade. It serves a need which had been previously unmet. It unchains your gaming experiences from the living room & desk and allows extreme freedom of choice. It's about the gaming experience, not the spec sheet. If you are the audience with that need, this shouldn't even be a question.

Picked up a secondhand LCD Steam Deck in January and haven't looked back, upgraded the SSD to a 1tb Cossair as well as a 1tb micro sd card, absolutely love it. Nice Metroid II poster btw!

[@wilbyYT]

Thank you man! I got that one from the Nintendo online shop with some others. I LOVE Metroid!!

[@paulloughlin3732]

Bought mine a month ago and it has been a great experience so far. I work the whole day in front of a PC, so the last thing I wanted was to stay in front the PC to play games, so was just playing console games. I'm finally back to play PC exclusives and could not be happier!

Awesome!

Iv'e been a gamer since the 80s and Iv'e had all the consoles from the 80s to the present day, but when I got the Steam Deck everything changed. The consoles have all gone to my attic, I just play the Steam Deck now. No more paying for a subscription to play online, because it's free on Deck. Cheap games on the Steam store, and easy access to all the games though emulation. My advice to anybody reading this is GET A STEAM DECK!!! you won't be disappointed.

Great to hear! I think that it only gets better with handhelds in the upcoming years.

[@sebastiandelacruz6460]

right now I cant afford mine, but i will save until christmas and get the oled of 1Tb, cant wait!

[@wilbyYT]

What a great goal to have. Just imagine how happy you will be once you have it in your hands!

Honestly, I recommend the 512 GB version. Yes, it has a glossy screen, but the colors are much better, offering pure blacks that look amazing. Additionally, you can upgrade the SSD to 1 TB. If you later don't like the glossy screen, you can simply buy an anti-glare screen protector, but remember you will miss that pure black colors and more "saturated" colors.

Hi Wilby, if you're a Metroid fan I strongly recommend you Axiom Verge (Steam Deck Verified). Greetings from Spain.

[@wilbyYT]

Noted! Yes, Im a huuuge Metroid fan :)

[@jayefe17]

​​@@wilbyYTI also recommend Axiom verge. Also give the Mobius Machine a whirl. I am also a huge albeit late metroid fan. Dread made me trace my steps to the first metroid

Having "the time of your life" while playing videogames is just such a depressing thought.

[@wilbyYT]

I get what you mean. But it’s all about balance. I have my job, my hobbies, my partner, my dog etc. Playing games is just one of my hobbies. Why not having fun while doing it :)
