Would you pay $2000 for a Steam Deck?
Well someone on Ebay did just 2 days ago, albeit a special one.

The Steam Deck stands out in style amongst other handhelds
The machine is listed as an “early Valve engineering 34 Prototype Steam Deck 256GB.”
The machine went for $2,000 just a couple of days ago after the seller settled on an offer.
The buttons are shaped differently, with two face buttons being blue instead of black.

A plate on the back of the gadget marks it as ‘engineering sample 34.’
Is it a real Steam Deck prototype?
Is it fake or the real deal?

Number 34 is NOT for resale guys
