I made this exact mistake when the Switch OLED came out. I got caught up in hype, I bought the new one, and slowly it dawned on me that I just spent 300 extra dollars for exactly the same machine I already had, and a screen that, as good as it was, was NOT worth that 300 dollars.
If you don’t own a Steam deck, then go nuts! Do what you want.
If you already own a Steam Deck, you already own everything you actually wanted a Steam deck for. An OLED screen is not going to make the games you already play somehow magically better. You’re fine. Chill out
Yeah, like I mentioned in another post, I’m still paying my original 256GB Steam Deck I got 6 months ago, I’m definitely not thinking about a new Steam Deck anytime soon, now when a Steam Deck 2 gets announced, I’ll definitely pay attention. I’m still glad we are getting a refresh though, goes to prove that Valve is definitely willing to keep working on the Deck in the long run. Also, these improvements at the same price are just amazing. Valve is great indeed.
