What exactly should I prepare for the morning of OLED pre-order?

Should I put $1000 into my Steam balance to pay the full thing (or will there be a deposit amount?)

Should I already be logged into my account?

I want to be as prepped as possible, any tips appreciated. Thanks!

    Honestly I would temper your expectations beforehand. Tell yourself it’s gonna be OK no matter which deck you end up gaming on. There are likely a few scalpers and for sure lots of people poised to purchase the limited edition version this Thursday. I know you want that limited edition version, I smell it in your fear, I read it in your types, I know it in my gaming heart. I want it too my friend. But while the allure of pretty orange and transparent plastic, metal, and glass may captivate us now, in the grand scheme of things, we’re all just future dust, making these material joys wonderfully absurd and fleetingly brief. Who gets the best Steam Deck on the block? Who gets the best deck chair on the Titanic?! Potatoes, Potahtoes.

      Haha love your post.

      I actually want the middle tier- I’m worried about the etched glass, and I love my OLED glossy switch. The limited edition -does- look cool but I’ll be fine without it.
