  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.

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

      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.

        Ha! I was actually worried about the $120 I put in for the Controller (just in case they were going to charge for shipping.) These days I only buy the occassional indie game. I can’t imagine putting in $1,000 for a Steam Machine and risk not getting one. (Or whatever it’s going to cost.)
