    I’m one of those weirdos that never thought the screen looked bad to begin with. I’m interested in the upgrade of course, but I can give it another year. The software upgrades alone make it feel like I’m running a new Steam Deck compared to when I got it 1.5 years ago.

      Those software updates are going to soon make the screen look a bit better too as SteamOS 3.5 adds saturation and colour temperature tuning settings.

      The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I’m the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

      I got it only a few months ago. I can wait a while for another. I’m still impressed what this little bugger can do. Also, then again I never bothered with the Switch OLED neither so I may not be the best.

    I’m happy for new buyers getting a better deck that I got. That makes more of us to tell game devs “you will test and tune your game to run well on the Deck”. It means more games that work for me.

      One was mine, but I just put great condition. I doubt it will actually sell for what I’m asking, but I’ll be cool with it either way.

    I wonder if refurbished decks will be available in time for Christmas?

    Never mind. They just reduced the price for older models!

    Did the exact same thing with the quest 2. Two weeks after getting mine they announced the quest 3. Had to wait a few months, but glad i did

    I’m trying to save so I can get both the old and OLED. I’ll set em up on the shelf next to each other and then when I get a friend we can play together
