This is giving me flashbacks to the much better rumored Switch Pro and when the announcement for that new Switch came, all we got was an OLED display, thinner bezels (sound familiar?) and twice the internal storage. I have both Switches, and let me tell you, side by side LCD and OLED it wasn’t worth shelling out $350, and the new Deck is worth almost double the price so. It does kinda suck for those who maybe bought it recently, but no one could’ve seen it coming, it was rumored but never confirmed, it wasn’t even leaked and Valve repeatedly stated they wouldn’t make a new Deck anytime soon. If you are able to return it and grab the new OLED Deck instead (if you’re in the US or Canada that is) it’s your money at the end of the day so I can’t tell you how to spend it, but I’m more than satisfied with my Deck and I’ll happily wait for the Deck 2 whenever that arrives.
I’m not mad that they refreshed. I’m mad that I bought one a few days ago and for the same money I’ve could have gotten twice the storage, better screen, bigger battery.
and better screen size / bezels, brightness, chipset, thermals, weight, WiFi, etc
I’m on a similar boat. Except Valve doesn’t reach here so I can do nothing about it.
