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 :)

    The reason I want the OLED is not for the better screen or even the better battery life. It’s because of the better Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips. Which, for me, has been the worst part of the LCD deck. I’ve had controllers randomly disconnect while docked and problems connecting multiple controllers. I’ve experienced connection issues with my home wifi as well where every other device I own works fine with it. I don’t know if it’s just a problem with my specific steam deck or what, but I have heard of a few people having similar issues with their decks and I rather just buy and own the better device. Even better, the new deck can be woken up by Bluetooth controllers when sleeping, which improves the docked experience. Of course, I will wait to hear people’s impressions when it releases first before buying myself.
