I don’t currently own a Deck, but have been planning a purchase one for a few months now. I have no interest in the Limited Edition model, and plan to get a 512 GB OLED, if I can reserve one.
One piece of advice I read elsewhere on this sub is to pre-load the funds to your wallet, instead of ordering directly with a credit card.
That said, if I can’t get an OLED model, I may just grab a 512 LCD model instead and save some money.
What I’m wondering is if I should preload the funds for the OLED model, assuming I can buy one, or just enough for the LCD model as a fall back, and top up with my credit card if I do get a OLED model.
I really only buy games once or twice a year on sale, so I’d rather not have that much of a balance if I just get an LCD model instead.
Secondly - since I’m not going for the top-tier OLED models - is the advice to preload the funds still as valid? Obviously I know no one knows for sure, but if you have any guess or advice either way I’d be curious to hear based on previous experience. Cheers!

If you’re on the fence and don’t buy games that much, I’d maybe say put on enough for the LCD model you want and get the rest with credit card if you change your mind? But it depends on how much you lean to the OLED side of said fence, and how big an issue it is to have the extra Steam Wallet credit sitting there.
Nice! I’ll check, but the only thing I could think of is Costco and I’ve never seen Steam giftcards there.
What is the advantage of pre-loading the wallet? Getting a discount by purchasing Steam Wallet cards?
Not having to deal with debit/credit card verification when you order a Deck, saving potentially precious seconds/minutes.
Yep - exactly!
