Yes, I preloaded my steam wallet yesterday so I could skip the card step. I happened to check the store page 2 minutes early and it was live so I sent it.

This was bullshit, had it in my cart the minute it became available but it was impossible to checkout on mobile. All my friends on pc bought theirs on easily

Eyy, finally managed to get one. Right before they went out of stock.

Payment processor can't keep up with the demand.

Stuck on the payment screen myself. Scrolling Lenny and pressing “Pay Now” every minute or so.

This is how it was with the OG Steam Deck, too. Took me about 15 minutes of guard dogging to make sure I got one. That was a pretty stressful time, lol

It’s 2026 and we still don’t have the technology to support server demand surges like this in a way that is appealing to implement.

When I first saw such things happen over 20 years ago, I figured it was always incompetence. Now I know it’s just reality.

Nope, it's dead Jim. It doesn't go past entering shipping details

I was unlucky. Didn't remember the launch until it was too late. Not that it would have mattered since I was in lecture for college, but still would have been nice if I could have ordered one!

I will be waiting but I wish all you real people who woll use it good luck. And dont buckle to the scalpers in a few weeks: these will come back in stock in due time.

Mine just went through suddenly.

Store had been working fine for me, but the processing card step of the checkout has been broken for me.

"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

I got one! Needed to spam the checkout buttons but it eventually went through.

Snagged one with little trouble, but I was early -- checked at XX:57 and the sale had gone live already, and I had put the money for it in my Steam Wallet last week as I wanted as few failure points as possible.

These things don't usually work out for me, so I have plenty of sympathy for those who got hung-up on the ordering page or just came a bit too late. For myself, I'm quite excited and it seems like it could even be here by the end of the week!

Bought!

Still have my og steam controller 😎

I got one, just keep spamming continue, it will eventually go through!

Aaaaaaaand Europe is gone too.

Its out of stock now

It was actually in stock a few minutes before 10AM pacific, I was able to snag one at 9:58.

To your library? Lol i wish

I was able to grab mine, just kept spamming order on the payment screen, and got it eventually. Also looks like it's still in stock so I guess I worried for not much in terms of it going out of stock

Have received "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." on all attempts, all payment methods. Looks like it'll just be fried for a minute.

Edit: Out of stock. Fuck my life!

Hitting the Continue like I hit that cunt in you.

No such luck.

Got my order in!

Keep spamming Continue. It'll eventually switch to "Working." I must have hit it at least a hundred times from 9:59 PST to 10:10 before it worked for me. I wished they had opened purchasing right on the dot instead of a few minutes early, but oh well. I'm happy.

Edit: Out of Stock. Sorry everyone who didn't get one. :(

Super smooth checkout on the mobile app. 5 minutes before the hour

Well, anyone who managed to get one, lemme know how the d-pad is on it. Is it better than the OG Steam Deck D-pad or the OLED D-pad? I changed my OLED d-pad to mechanical buttons, and it's felt much more accurate for 2d platformers and fighters.

Got on right at 1 and was hammering the pay button to no avail. They're now showing out of stock :(
