Steam is Hopping on the Most Frustrating Console Trend
Briefly

On November 12, Valve unveiled the Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White. Launching on November 18, the new Deck has the exact specs of the existing Steam Deck OLED with 1 TB of built-in storage. The difference is - well, just look at the thing. Rather than the standard Steam Deck's all-black design, the new edition is a white console with gray face buttons and a red power button. It looks sick as hell, frankly, calling to mind the aesthetics of Valve's Portal series.
Arguably, the bigger problem is its exclusivity. As Valve notes, the new console is limited to a small but undisclosed number, and once it's out of stock, no more will be made. That means that if you want to get your hands on the pretty new piece of hardware, you have exactly one chance to do so. And since quantities are limited, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to buy one even if you wait in the digital queue on launch day.
Still, if you're planning to buy a Steam Deck OLED anyway, it makes sense to try your luck with the limited edition. For folks who already own a Steam Deck, though, the new release may not be so exciting.
