Steam Deck OLED stock hit by RAM and SSD shortages in worrying sign for Steam Machine release

The Steam Deck OLED is facing stock challenges due to rising RAM and SSD prices linked to increased demand from AI data centers. Valve has announced that the Steam Deck OLED may be intermittently out of stock in some regions due to memory and storage shortages. While the Steam Deck has previously experienced supply issues, availability had stabilized until now. In the U.S., all variants are sold out, while the UK has stock of all models and Germany has limited availability of the 1TB Steam Deck OLED. The 256GB Steam Deck LCD is no longer in production. Valve has not increased prices for existing Steam Deck models despite the stock issues.

Xbox Ally X pre-orders prove popular as retailers sell out in no time

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is available for pre-order, with significant demand leading to limited stock at various retailers. Pre-orders started on September 25, with the ROG Xbox Ally priced at 9.99 and the ROG Xbox Ally X at 9.99. The official release is set for October 16. Retailers like Walmart and Best Buy are offering pre-orders, but stock shortages are reported, particularly in the UK where the Xbox Ally X is out of stock. Some retailers have implemented measures like sign-in requirements and CAPTCHA due to high consumer interest. The design features Xbox branding and a controller-style grip, making it appealing to gamers.
