Yeah, I got that as well; I guess something went wrong with their servers.

Same, I have it in my cart but can't get past the shipping information page.

They really should've done tickets for this or something.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I can't even get to shipping, I'm getting E502 L3 when I click "purchase for myself"

I miss when you could just show up at a store a few hours early to get new tech thing day one. The modern era of having to do everything on websites that inevitably can't handle demand sucks.

Looks like the 1tb model is purchaseable, but wait list stuff for the 512.

I don't think any have been sold. The website just can't handle the traffic now.

Got to the purchase for yourself screen, then it errored out

Now it let me add it and start putting in shipment info, but this actually makes me more nervous - I don't want to mistakenly submit a duplicate transaction or something.

Holy Hell.
This kind of implosion in the purchase flow is disappointing since this is the second launch of a Steam Deck device and Valve already acknowledged that demand was very high the first time around.

You'd hope they would thus be prepared for round 2, but clearly not. Oh well. Time to hurry up and wait.

It's ridiculous that all these years later they still don't provision properly for these launches, especially with the elastic handler/server expansion that is possible nowadays.

can u run n jump?
didn't they use the exact same ' please have purchased something from us before' method to gate oled purchases as they did original deck purchases? can't see that as having been an unexpected barrier for botting this time around
