While Valve seems content with not updating hardware for the Steam Deck OLED for now, it looks like they are interested in releasing variant editions. A new limited edition white Steam Deck OLED system has been announced, and will be available in limited quantities. Sporting a white and grey color scheme and the same internals as the 1TB OLED regular edition, it'll be launching on November 18th at 3pm PST, retailing for $679.99--a slightly higher price point than the highest-end regular Steam Deck OLED.

So it will be more expensive just because it is white and grey?

Add colorful face buttons and you've got yourself a Dreamcast! A color scheme like this is an aesthetic that would really play well with retro games. I wonder if it would yellow over time though?

If this had SNES colour scheme... maybe...

Which is even worse considering that anything which is usually that snow white turns yellow or gets stained very easily. A shell is a must for this one, basically rendering its entire point of sale void unless it's a clear shell case, and even then it's just a novelty that once you expose it to air, will collect visible scratches a lot easier, will turn yellow or stained with time, and will generally have to be treated with a lot more care than a black one (not that you shouldn't treat these devices careless either way).

I'm content with my black Steam Deck OLED as is, especially since the colour scheme here really is quite basic for a "Limited Edition", they really could've been a bit more creative with their so called limited edition.

Just put some light purple (or multicolored) buttons in there and you have it.

A new color is interesting, but I still hope they are developing a Lite version.

Because it's "Limited Edition".

I wonder if they'll try to avert scalpers again?

It's SOOOO beautiful! unfortunately for Valve, I'll stick with my black, Sailor Moon themed Steam Deck LCD. I get plenty of game time with this device. It doesn't make much sense to replace her.
