The headline makes it seem like everyone’s been holding off until it was under 5 figures to get.

“Why can’t we get one?”

Just wait, the price is falling, Timmy

Definitely wait for the second or third version, you don’t want to pay the early adopter tax.

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.
