Just curious, because personally I bought it mostly with a hope that I will start playing games again and I’m overthinking if it will be what I needed.

Lately (for 2 years) feeling kinda depressed and not really playing games, finished one title (Disco Elysium) in this time. I have some backlog at steam but I’m thinking if I’ll even use the deck…

    I’m thinking of buying the new OLED deck. I do have a decent gaming PC for sim racing, but haven’t been able to gain the enthusiasm to use that for other games. At 43 I’m hoping a Steam Deck will get my enthusiasm back for gaming and I will pair it with my Viture One XR glasses that are arriving today so that should be a pretty sweet setup 😎

      I just got a steam deck, only playing civ 5 atm with my tcl nxtwear glasses. Best way to use it in my opinion!

        I just think the ability to have a hand held PC console like this and pair it with a pair of glasses that projects a 120” screen in front of your face is such an exciting proposition. I’ll have to wait to order the OLED version as I’m away for a month. Wish I had ordered one sooner.

          Mine is the non oled but I don’t even use the screen, the screen turns off when the glasses are plugged in.

              I’ve never used it without the glasses so I don’t know. I am getting 4 hours playing civ 5. The battery has never run out, still showing 10%.

                4 hours is still very good. The more I read reviews on all the latest handheld gaming devices, I think the OLED SD is the one I’ll end up buying. It just seems the best all rounder for what I need.
