Dear fellow SD users,

A trivial, point-blank question. Are you going to upgrade?

As I have the (former) top-of-the-line and non-modded model, I wonder if the improvements of the OLED version justify the price. I believe they do, especially in the long run. What’s your take? Will you hold on what you have or bite the bullet?

Thanks for your replies :)

    Absolutely. The screen on the original Steam Deck was such a huge pain point for me, especially compared to the Switch OLED with its incredible screen right to it, that I ended up selling mine weeks ago.

    The Deck OLED fixes this and so many other issues I had with the original device (better thumbsticks, better bumpers, better battery life, etc etc) that it became a no-brainer. The only thing I would change is the option to not have the anti-glare option with the 1TB model, otherwise I’m thrilled with all of the changes they made.

    Putting it another way, the Switch OLED made my handheld usage for that console skyrocket. A better screen, battery life, and refined controls will do the same for me with the Deck.
