HN folks, I feel a FOMO for this OLED version because it's just so cool, but I already own a Deck. Would you say there would be an OLED version again, even if limited in stock, in the future?

It looks like the OLED version is replacing the LCD one for the 512/1TB models. It's just the specific colourway that's limited.

I'm in a similar boat - I'm gonna keep my LCD 512GB Steam Deck.

This is probably a Steam Deck v1.5 before v2 comes out. I'm sure v2 will have an OLED option and the differentiator between major versions will be CPU/RAM.
They said the Steam Deck 2 will likely appear in 2-3 years time in this interview: https://www.polygon.com/23951070/steam-deck-2-valve-intervie...
Thank you! This is reassuring. I had thought of upgrading my Steam Deck once a new one comes out, but didn't expect one to show up this quickly.
Looking forward to some variant of 7040 (zen 4 / RDNA 3) as the cpu.
