@Steam If you are getting either the, "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction." OR “You’ve attempted too many purchases...” Keep trying. I got both messages and kept hitting "Continue," on the Purchase page. 48mins later it went through!

@finker @Steam @Steam_Support It took a lot of ignoring error messages but it does eventually go through. It's looking like mine did at least /shrug. Funny you can see it before I can though! lol

Officially been getting error messages while trying to reserve the #SteamDeck for an hour now. This has been real “smooth” @Steam

@SwitchCornerYT @Steam Reservations are fine but before you actually buy this really think it over as its bound to be interated on probably will have loads of issues. Steam not known for good hardware so really consider that before buying. Coould overheat, have a terrible battery life. Anything

@Steam Tried right at 10 am, got a bunch of error messages (including "account too new" -- apparently 16 years on steam makes me a noob), and now will have to wait until Q2 22. Disappointing.

@Steam Closed my browser out. ******* ordering this. I've been met with enough errors trying to promise you money to give a **** anymore.

This process was laughably bad @Steam. You embarrassed yourself yesterday by saying you weren't going to have the same problems others have. You were even worse.

(@dealer_of_happy) reported
@KokiriKidd_ @Steam I seen this error too. Site is simply overwhelmed and constantly crashes. If you added it to your cart and have issues with payment, do NOT go back, keep trying to process the payment. It took me 40 min too, but it worked, got a confirmation email and in Steam says I reserved one

@FireFistAxce2 @neoak @Steam So you just kept spamming the continue button on "the too many attempts, wait" error message and it eventually went through?
-

@ParaduxMcFly @Steam You did. I entered the second it hit the scheduled time and had issues for 41 straight minutes of attempts. They really **** the bed with this one.

@Steam So are you actually going to allow people to reserve this or are you just going to keep ******* everyone over with your stupid errors?

after an hour of opaque error messages, i finally have managed to give @Steam $5 for a #SteamDeck pre-order. good lord, that was the hardest i've had to work to get a company to take my money.

@Daniel15 @SixaxisVidya @Steam Haha I broke mine. Eventually it gives you an error telling you that you have attempted too many purchases.

@TheWolfather @Steam Nope. That's the problem I've got. It's so vague. "a few hours" doesn't tell me when my account is unlocked.

@PerongeIuk @Steam This sounds stupid but KEEP CLICKING. I've had that error message since 1:02pm and I've been clicking "continue" nonstop for a few minutes and it finally went through. This may be an hour late but it's better than nothing surely?

@pcgamer Got through at 45mins with a 256GB deposit after various purchase and transaction errors. @Steam ‘s staff should really be reaching out via social media and addressing this debacle.

@Steam How are you guys literally silent about all these issues when people are trying to give you 100's of dollars? Do you think this is a good look? My wife got all the way to the purchase screen, it sat waiting to process for over 10 minutes, then said it didnt know if it went thru

@Steam If you are having "to many purchases" error try doing it through the app it should bypass the error.
