@RestartCarl @Steam I’ll just bang the odd big game on the unit then the rest on an SD card. Lots of checkout errors though

@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.

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

@Coinzyy @Steam I don’t mind taking the risk on it honestly! No doubt new hardware comes with new problems but as long as you expect it I don’t think it will be an issue

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.

@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?

@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 I hope you Valve realizes how terrible this roll-out was... - There was no que - No bot check - Error codes for simply putting the thing in your cart - pre-order release time was trash

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.

@mikemchargue @Steam Getting any next-gen console has been a pain, man. It’s a problem across the board and a lot of the problems point to bots/scalpers. I was finally able to grab a Series X after 7 months of trying, only because Microsoft did a beta test of what was essentialy a waiting list.
