Dear fellow SD users,

A trivial, point-blank question. Are you going to upgrade?

As I have the (former) top-of-the-line and non-modded model, I wonder if the improvements of the OLED version justify the price. I believe they do, especially in the long run. What’s your take? Will you hold on what you have or bite the bullet?

Thanks for your replies :)

    I love my steam deck, same as yourself I got the top line version and other than slapping a 1tb memory card in it, it’s unmodded.

    I don’t play it near as much as I want to though. Soon to be 1 hear old in the house, moved long distance as well this past year and just settling in to a new place and work. So getting any sense of routine to fit gaming in to, has been pretty scarce.

    I kick myself and hate valve a little for the fact a year after buying this, they’ve brought out a version that ticks more boxes and sounds much better.

    But that’s tech these days of course.

    What I’m excited for though, isn’t to trade in and upgrade on what I got - but know that this thing is still gonna do me good another 4 years and when they eventually bring out a version 2 of it, with actual tangible performance upgrades, it’s very likely to come with the better battery, oled screen and larger storage by default anyway.

    So I’ll enjoy what I have for now. And enjoy knowing in a few years I’ll upgrade to the new version. Without spunking over money year after year.
