I’m a little cheesed about it. Got my 512gb during the summer sale (right at the end of it). Had I known that about 3 months later a new deck that fixes all my nitpicks was going to come out, for the same price/cheaper, I definitely would have waited.
I do believe I will look to sell my current one and grab the OLED as literally every improvement they made is what I would have wanted out of it (larger ssd, OLED, wifi 6, better battery, cooler/less noisy). The issue is since they also announced the price decrease of the old ones it’ll be tough trying to recoup some of the cost.
It’s just a matter of if valve announced it earlier, consumers could have planned better for this revision.
I’m incredibly happy with the steam deck, but the reason I waited was I couldn’t justify spending the money on something that didn’t hit everything on the checklist (hence why I waited until it was 20% off). Knowing I could have got it at the same price with everything on my checklist a few months later does sting a bit.
