Steam Deck Oled Limited for Europe?

[The 3n3mYFa+al1TY]

Is there a chance that the Steam Deck Oled Limited will also be released in Europe?

I wouldn't hold my breath but hopefully, every region that can purchase Decks right now will have some supply.

Again, hopefully.

I got an OLED model and would’ve gotten the limited edition if I had the chance. Such a shame they didn’t make it available. I don’t wanna end up regretting my purchase if it becomes available in my region later on. Then have to sell mine… etc. that’s just… messed up. Would be nice if they would at least offer a FAIR trade for those users.

Valve don't care for markets outside of the USA...That's the harsh truth!

Exactly why i got a ASUS ROG ALLY

sorry mate, but your attitude to sell your device just to get another color palette it insane! - you can easily mod almost all parts, some even less intrusive than others (getting the exhaust grill colored might be quiet some effort indeed xP - on the upside, you can have it in ANY color if you go that route! ;-)
So simply think a bit more about what you want and how to get it, and do it yourself - might even be cheaper, but ofc more work intensive and with some minor risks - but i did extensively modded my deck and it's just fine, running even cooler than stock now, despite it really didn't needed a Repaste, whatever Valve used was perfectly fine, i even got worse temps in the beginning, but given i am using a PCM, that was expected (but at the time, i was still waiting for it to arrive, until that i used a good enough paste (MX-4) after my first mods to the Deck, and it was 2-4°C worse than stock - despite those mods included a Aluminum Backplate and a copper shim to add thermal mass between the SSD and the thin metal cover (yes, scream at me how much you want how stupid i am to thermally connect my SSD to the rest of the cooling system - but believe it or not, it's running fine, never getting hotter than 58°C after extensive use and downloading a lot of Games - idk the before temps tho - i think overall it's better than having to disipate that heat in an already hot area - given heat "flows" from hot to "colder" surfaces, this shouldn't be much of a problem at all, might even help, as SSD's like it rather warm at ~40°C - so no point in cooling below that. - but unless extremely write intensive, you're propably fine without thermally connecting it - but a copper shim to add thermal mass is hightly recommended for the times you download & write a bunch of stuff onto the SSD - tho, i think the thermal pads also add just enough pressure to never ever let this shim come off, even if my deck somehow get's subjected to insane forces and survives them - overall that shim should stick without it, but there is a potential risk in it falling off due to whatever reason (thermal pad dried up, not sticky enough, to hard of a bump - whatever! - i just sleep better knowing it can't.)

lol, you got an arguably worse device (well, it's kinda great for couch gaming, given the more performance availability - but it's poorly optimised softwarewise and trades that performance with a larger battery(=more weight) and using it up much quicker (so not really that mobile of a device if you constantly need a Powerbank or wall plug!)

and if it's because ot the white, even before the LE there were both cases and skins available in white - ofc the first requiring a disassembly involving minor risks, and the later requiring some careful applying! - still, i don't get ppl that decide solely on optics! - would i have bought a limited edition, given the deck was the first device i ever bought on credit, i actually might and payd longer for it - but on the other hand, i'm happy that i didn't - the markup is just to heavy, despite i understand why (complex manufacturing process just to get another color is more expensive than ppl think it is! - especially for limited editions!)
As cool as it looks, you can do almost all of it aftermarket or yourself! (someone even transplanted PS5 Thumbsticks - ofc you loose the touch sensors that way! - the exhaust grill can be taken out and repainted with some work, ofc lot of work, i'm still thinking about it if i really wanna take my deck apart that much just to repaint the grill to be metallic-red, and also risk it to not match my already switched out buttons... - but i might end up doing when i pursuing my "make the Deck somewhat Water resistant to be able to play during rain" project, in wich i would need to take it apart to paint every single contact and close gaps under chips anyway ;-) - contacts and plugs will still be an issue, so it will never get submersible, unless i drown those in glue and add rubber caps for the USB-C and Headphone jack!)
