I've been wanting to get a Zero 2 but they're basically nonexistent. How likely do we think the Zero 1 to stay in supply? And are they worth getting or should I hold out for the Zero 2 to return? I kinda want to use it in a project but I don't want em to go dead before I can make a couple of units. thoughts?

Any reason why it needs to be a zero? You can typically find the older pi models used for cheap on your local marketplaces.

The zero is a little cheaper, and I wanted to try making games that would run on it and eventually make a game console thing out of it. Part of the challenge is the lower spec i guess. If it's got more power than the n64 its good enough for me!
