This is in addition to the other 50 T of "game consoles" imported in the last couple months that did not result in restocking of Steam Deck.

That's somewhere between 10k-30k units. The steam controller at launch had about 15k-30k units that sold out in 30 min, but it was at least 5-10x cheaper than Steam Frame/Machine will be, so perhaps the window to buy right at launch will be a bit longer if they go live with current volumes.

Stay strong against the scalpers!

Yep. Load up your Steam Wallets prior to future sales instead of trying to enter your credit card info. You'll have better luck with the payment being processed if it doesn't have to go through a third party.

Coming from someone who regrets not doing that prior to the Steam Controller launch.

Don't regret it cause a lot of people did that and still couldn't get through. The endpoint that everyone was stuck on affected every payment method. Still gives you more options I guess.

I never thought of that, but I also don’t want to put hundreds of dollars in my Steam wallet

[–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 2 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, this is my main concern for the Frame release. I don't want a "blocked for suspected fraud" credit card payment being the reason I miss the first few minutes of the reservation window, but I also don't want hundreds of dollars just sitting in my Steam Wallet in case I miss the window anyway. First world problems.
