Eh, it depends on how much you trust/value the company or product. I got a first gen Steam Deck and, while I didn’t expect an updated model so quickly, I have no regrets. Even if it didn’t live up to my expectations (it has), I would’ve wanted to support a customer friendly device like this.
If it’s purely transactional, though, I agree - waiting for an updated or revamped version will be a much better value overall.
Hard agree on Steam Deck, gen 1 is still fantastic. Had a great 9 months with it before I got the OLED 2 weeks ago. Still a great device even with the OLED model out.
Oh man have I been there. Never buy gen 1.
