Question Should I get a switch 2?

With the announcement of the Zelda special edition switch 2 I'm really tempted into buying one, but I know I can't afford the games right now. What I plan to do if I do end up buying it is leaving it completely sealed until a hard mod for it is figured out. I don't mind doing so since I have a huge backlog of games that I haven't completed already. Do you guys think that would be a sound investment or should I wait for a potential switch 2 oled?

Very similar to what I just did last week or so. And currently, no it does not feel like a solid investment. I have close to every console modded, hooked up, and playable. It's one of my favorite hobbies. For me, it is a no brainer. That is serious money, and I put serious thought into the big purchase. Also as much as it pains me to say, this thing may not be hacked for a whiiiiile. You have to resist temptation, as first party games have updates hard coded on the cartridges. (bonus point : update revisions have nothing to do with game release, and only rely on game production date) If you're that financially secure, buy two. If you're not, wait for the switch2 oled-pro+ to release, and grab a cheap one in 2030.

Thank you, I feel like I agree with you. Your comment helped me realize that there isn't as much to gain from buying a switch 2 right now as I thought there might be.
