    I’m keeping my 512 still. I’m not stupid enough to think it’ll be a collector’s item but it has a strange sort of personal sentimental value. It stopped me being a spec snob lol

      I’m keeping mine because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it and I’m not paying $600 for an OLED screen when I’m perfectly happy with the device I already have.

      This is not a condemnation of anyone who is getting an OLED version, it’s just not worth it to me personally, and I have plenty of other things that the money would be better spent on (especially with the holidays right around the corner).

        Yeah… the OLED version existing doesn’t change how I enjoy the deck I already have. Unless something unfortunate happens to my deck, I’ll just wait for the SD2 for a proper upgrade.

      Nothing wrong with having a secondary “rough service” device for events and times where your new and shiny isn’t the best idea.

      Not a 1:1 analogy but I keep an old Note 9 for use when I got to the beach a few times a year because I don’t want to damage whatever flagship phone I have.

      If anything it makes a great living room pc. Toss it in a dock and grab a few controllers and your good to play tons of stuff.
