I feel like it’s wasteful to buy another deck even though I have the money for it. Selling it locally is not an option because I’m in a 3rd world country & nobody will value it the same here.

So it’s either I suck it up and buy another, which I’m not a fan of, or upgrade, if it could be technically possible at some point.

    Upgrading is not possible. I contacted Steam support and this is what they replied:

    'Unfortunately the LED models are not compatible with the new OLED display, upgrade will not be possible.

    Please note that the 64GB and 512GB Steam Deck LCD models are being phased out permanently discounted these models.

    Sorry that we are unable to offer any upgrade alternative in this case.

    If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.’

    My 512 deck is currently on Ebay waiting to be sold for 66% of its initial price which is insane for less after a year and Steam to be blamed for the price drop they did this fast. Also for their crazy short availability time for the oled after their announcement kill our devices value for selling them. Crappy move of them. Wasn’t the deck marketed as modular with parts replaceable? Now it’s just a throwaway device in my eyes.
