Pay over time?

[Brotatochip]

Is it possible to purchase a steam deck with a payment plan that allows you to pay over a few months? I want to get the max-level steam deck, but I don't have the cash on me to do so, even with the 20% off sale. Is there any possible way I could pay a portion now, and over the course of a few months?

Not directly through Steam but PayPal has an option for this through them.

You need a credit card. Paying back overtime is quite literally what they're all about.

If money is a crucial factor, I´d think about getting the 64gb version instead. Get a fast 512gb micro sd card for about 50,- and glare protection film for about 8,- and save yourselve about 120,-; e.g. lower the monthyl rates.

All the best

P.S.: I bought the 64gb version second hand and I am very happy with it - there is not much of a defference besides a few seconds of loading time in some games.

Add funds to your Steam wallet and hope the deck is on sale on a future big sale.

If you do it that way, please or the love of god find one with a half decent rate.
Even industry standard (but ♥♥♥♥) rate is preferred over some I've seen.
Should be illegal.

TBF I wouldn't have gotten through the pandemic *without a credit card. Still carrying it today. You can pay off interest free for a bit if you move it, and when you can - pay it down. Don't go crazy and into five figures or something mad (people do) and read carefully.
But if you're asking the above is probably correct.
Just save up.

Payment plans are a sneaky thing.

Payment plans are a scam because of the interest

There are plenty of ones that don't charge interest.

Steam decks can also be financed through Abunda, looks like $14/mo they have payment plans and lease-to-own options:

Okay but how reliable is Abunda?
Never heard of them before now, not looking to end up taking it slow and dry right up the hind end in the long run
