I think it's just throwing out any old error due to the amount of traffic. I guess it's proving popular then!

It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again.

Cool cool cool

Looks like I managed to get a reservation. I got the confirmation email and it shows up in my account purchase history.

I kind of hate the name Steam Deck since Stream Deck is already a thing and now I have to parse words carefully.

Logging out and back in fixed the "account is too new" problem.

Then I was able to get in and reserve it, though every time i clicked on the next button the site would crash but reloading took me back to where i needed to me. hung on the green button for like 5+ minutes before seeing a confirmation.

poo poo, I thought it was frozen and backed out. Went back to my cart and it gave me errors every time I clicked "continue". Now it's telling me I've "attempted to make too many purchases in the last couple hours". gently caress.

Same here. Lol

Put payment info in, got error messages saying "Try again shortly".

Tried again shortly, repeatedly.

Now getting "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." What the gently caress Valve, fix your poo poo.

Hmm... well, I get the "you're trying too many purchases" message or whatever, but hey, check your purchase history page:

I have "Steam Deck 512 GB Deposit" "Pending Purchase" listed.
So if it's pending... maybe good?

Well good, at least other people are getting the lot of purchases warning. I'm just going to assume since I got the thing in my cart at 10 sharp it's going to put me in the right place, instead of being at the back of a 2 year line.

Took like 13 refreshes to get it to accept my payment method (CC), but got lucky and got past that. Took another 5 minutes once I clicked confirm, but did get a confirmation. I didn't know that I should have gotten steam credit so it wouldn't have to go through a processor, but I'll know for next time I guess.

Are people really getting 'sold out' messages? for which models? Its only been 17 minutes!

Not surprising by this, gaming consoles sell out instantly. PS5/SeriesX|S/Switch all sold out instantly. The Switch OLED went up for pre-order yesterday and sold out instantly too.

I got locked out for too many failed purchases but tbh the complete lack of queue control or any type of foresight at all on the checkout process killed a lot of my excitement anyway so I'm not too mad

/\ - We went with the biggest one

Finally went through for my girlfriend and I's orders. Our internet kept cutting out during it as well. I blame steam. We both work from home and playing games in the office after working in it all day kinda sucks, so hopefully, this will allow us to play more games together without having to be in one room for 16 hours of a day.

Scalpers are probably a big part of that. While the actual system seems to be bad tying it to account purchases will stop those bots

256GB. I doubt there's going to be any limits on each model, the whole point of the pre-order system is to gauge the number of units they need for launch.
