Hi everyone. After the announcement of the OLED version, I am very tempted to buy my first deck. But as the title suggests, would you take it knowing that the main reason why you are driven to do it is for a trip that you take about 1/2 times a year for 10 days in which you are bored? At home I have a series X and also GeForce now (I’m playing baldur’s gate). The older part of me (I’m 42) would say that it’s not worth it, that it would end up gathering dust, while the other part, the one that has never grown up, has already reached for its wallet. I accept advice
If that’s really all you use it for, I personally wouldn’t. But I use my Deck a lot more than just when travelling. I have a decently powerful PC - nothing range-topping, but 5900X + 3070, so no slouch either. But I use it a lot less since I got my Deck, it’s just so convenient for playing on the couch, in bed, or wherever I happen to be. I have an older LCD TV and decent but unremarkable IPS screens for my PC, so the OLED Deck will be by far the prettiest display I’ll have for gaming - I suspect I’ll be streaming from my PC more often where I might have played on it directly before.
