@Steam Constant errors, and then, 15 minutes into trying to get one, now I have the "it looks like you've been attempting..." error and also I now get a "your account is too new" although it's years and years old (and this didn't appear until I tried a few times). What's going on?

@RoxAddison @Neopifex @Steam steam holds stuff in your cart for 72 hours so i dont think thatll be a problem. the good thing is, they have reservations for sunday too, so they should have enough reservations to hold out until then

@Steam By open do you mean not open due to not being able to handle the capacity in shape or form giving us an error about trying again "later" but not specifying what later actually means? Is that what you mean?

@Steam @Steam fix your ****. I shouldn't be told that I've been making too many purchases when I cant even reserve this console. Yall should've been prepared for this.

@JustinRoiland @Steam I had this and still got my reservation. I messaged support specifically under the Steam Deck tag and said I had that error. I don't know if that fixed it, or the error is faulty!

@Steam System won’t let me reserve, after numerous errors it’s telling me I’ve attempted too many purchases and to try back later… fail valve.

@Steam For anyone having trouble… what worked for me was adding the $5 to my steam wallet first and using that as the payment method.

@Steam Good luck. I tried to buy, got an error message, refreshed the page and apparently that was "a lot of purchases in the last few hours" so now I'm stuck.

I find it extremely puzzling that in 2021 we still have issues with not enough server capacity for people trying preorder/reservation upcoming products. Did @Steam not learning anything from the @nvidia fiasco last year?

Help! @Steam I tried buying a Steam Deck, got constant errors, and now I can't purchase ANYTHING because the client is telling me I've been attempting to purchase too much in the last few hours (FOR YOUR STEAM DECK). I can't even add a payment method or change password. HELP ME.

Well @Steam, this was a huge disappointment. Attempt purchase repeatedly, keeps saying there's an error. Finally get through once, but purchase doesn't complete.

@Steam It'd be nice if i could actually reserve it though. Fix your crappy reservation system. You even had a release date to protect from Dos errors, and still the poorly put together system cannot handle a spike in buyers, losing sales. What a joke.
