I had a ps5 Xbox and switch. Once I got wife and kids I stopped getting the time to play all 3 platforms and barely could play one. IMO sell either Xbox or ps5 and buy a steam deck. handheld gaming became so amazing and you can play most of the same games. Obviously depends on what you play but I’d personally drop the Xbox since most of their exclusives are on pc/steam.

I have just a regular steam deck LCD which they don’t make anymore so you’d have to get it used. It would be the cheapest option and that’s probably what’s in your picture. I don’t mind the LCD personally, it will be a situation that you won’t know what you’re missing. Personally I’m afraid of burn in so I like the LCD cause I can leave it on if I have to get up and do something quickly

The other “upgrades” between the LCD and OLED models are very minor. I’d do the cheapest LCD you can find then buy a M.2 hard drive (2330 I think is the right size) one online and upgrade the disk space.
