Not worth it IMHO. By the time Christmas comes around there may be more updates released and more importantly you may ruin the “brand new unboxing experience”.

I’d only do it if the unwrapping would take place somwhere with no access to high speed Internet for several hours and want the kids (or whomever) to start playing on the new the Deck immediately, but in that case they would need to download some games anyway.

I just LOVE how they “bait and switched” the “EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITY” text on the website. Genius work.

If we believe Valve when they said SD OLEDs would start shipping “immediately” we should start getting tracking numbers today and expect getting it in our hands next Tuesday at the earliest.

But only time will tell.
