Refurbished 500 gb is 410 $, OLED 500 GB is 627 $ (in my currency ofc).

I’m really unsure if it will be worth it, especially that I have limited budget, what do you think? Is the upgrade going to be much better?
I plan to play mostly indie games on my deck and titles that I wanted to try for a long time like Yakuza, Dark Souls or Elden Ring

    If you have a limited budget, you should be comparing 64GB refurb + buy your own SSD vs the OLED.

    That’s going to be way cheaper.

    Ultimately it’s a question you have to answer yourself. I’d really push you to go for the OLED. It would be worth 200 USD to me I think but I’m doing okay and could afford to splurge that without real issues.

    I don’t really like the sticks that much on the Deck, so I would want the upgraded ones. You’re getting the bigger battery. More efficient chip. Fantastic screen.

    I think it’s super worth, but if your budget is shoestring… maybe not. It’s for you to decide.

    Let’s say you get 3 years+ out of it. Is it worth $6/month for the newer console? Obviously yes for me.
