Q2 gang here but I feel your disappointment, you would have better off waiting. But honestly, there is always a better version to wait. The Steam Deck 2, then Steam Deck 2 OLED, then SD3 etc. I mean, have a good time with your deck, it’s still a good console and wait and see.
That being said, it’s easy for me to say, the limited version is not available in my country. I don’t need it, but want it so bad lol
Cheers
This is me. I would have jumped on the revision but unfortunately what I am finding is:
Don’t regret getting it at all, but I am kind of starting to appreciate why nintendo may have sacrificed so much power, especially since they have games tailor made for their system. And why upgrading to the OLED is going to be a pass for me
the OLED is lighter and has better battery
Not signifcantly lighter or high enough battery (edit: battery is actually more than enough for me, this is cope speaking) to push me for the new model, but by all means this is 100% the definitive version of the Deck
Not worth it to try and sell my current one. But definitely the way to go if you’re just now buying the system.
I’ll stick with my current one until they’re actually doing a follow-up or this one breaks out of warranty.
I’m probably just old now. But I’ve really started not getting as interested in modern games anymore. At least, AAA games that is. Most of them feel way to big, with content spread thin.
I’m actually going back to older titles I never played back then and enjoying myself. Besides the few new gems, of course.
For me the SteamDeck was a no-brainer. I have a huge library of unplayed games on Steam, many of which aren’t even on Switch. Add emulation to that, and it’s a perfect device. It’s just about being able to play on the couch next to my wife, and not just sitting in my office by myself all the time.
