Hey all,

Bought the Steam Deck 1TB on release, but I saw the limited edition is still available, and so I purchased one as well. I plan to maybe leave it in box.

Is it likely it will be worth something one day, or will it just be obsolete and worth nothing since more powerful decks are bound to come?

​

I never do this kind of thing, but something gave the itch.

    I don’t see it ever really being a valuable collectors item. Systems that become collectables all seem to have one thing in common. They aren’t limited when they are no longer supported.

    Once Valve stops software support and updates, being able to access your libraries will likely be impossible. It could still be used for emulation, but at that point you’ll also see cheaper handheld options than an online required antiquated Steam Deck.

    Just my two cents

      Makes sense. I may end up giving it to a friend or family member. This was just for fun really and I guess there’s a slim chance it will be rare later on.
