Looking into it and realising I have no intention of upgrading to the OLED, it’s made me question what it would take for me to trade in my OG deck for an upgrade.
The big 3 for me would be Freesync, 90hz refresh rate (with VRR for lower speeds, 30, 60 and 90 would be a dream) and USB4 with eGPU support.
What about you guys?
More power, and at the same price as the 64GB model was at launch.
The OLED seems great, and I really want it, but it’s just too much money, especially when my current Deck works just fine. I know I’d feel buyer’s remorse if I go and spend all of that money on it, and ultimately, it’s the same device that I’ve already got.
I would also seriously consider buying a Deck mini if it had all of the features of the OLED but at a pocketable size. It would be nice to be able to keep playing all of the same games in situations where it isn’t really socially acceptable to whip out a massive device from my bag.
For the moment, though, I’m waiting to see what Nintendo are doing. I know I’d feel shitty if I spent hundreds on a slightly revised version of something I already have only for them to announce their next console months later.
