Ah, it's like Summer/Winter sales 10 years ago where the purchases you made in the first few minutes were nebulous and Steam regularly tanked. Takes me back
They better manually turn that shit off.
If I have to wait 3hrs probably not getting one until January
The system makes no sense.
My friend and I got through earlier. I added wallet funds beforehand which I think helped.
Right thats it. Im only using Epic Game Store from now on.
I already got my bank account page through but then it said back in Steam that it may not have been ok.
Now I cannot even login.
"Reservation Servers are busy, please try again "

Im using Steam wallet, transaction logged at 6.02 and its still pending so i dont know whats happened.
Looks like we're spending a couple more years together old friend...

I just discovered that I have a pending purchase where payment has not been collected from 19.07. I sent a Steam support ticket asking to be able to pay

for what it's worth - i'm 95% sure you get queued the moment you add it to the cart ... so even if you pay in like 5h, you should still be able to get into the queue at the time you put it in the cart
Thanks!
"queue_position":3174Interesting that it also shows the totally queue size - wonder if that's for the model (chose 256GB) or overall. (It's at ~4800 right now)
This is new.
Also 15 'now owns Steam Deck Deposit' in a row on my activity feed, gg.

Don't even sarcastically joke about putting yourself through that. That's like cutting of your nose with a chainsaw to spite your face
Yeah, I got that one as well followed by an email that it failed and you can retry next 72 hours.
This is new.
Trying it but it's again in the same cart/payment loop. "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance. "

And now it says: "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again. "
The craziest thing is that these are all legit human beings trying to buy one.
Imagine if they didn't have the bot protection in place. Bots would have bought everything in minutes and the scalping vultures would have ruined Christmas for everyone lol.
I think as long as you get a preorder in the first 48hrs you should be good. After that you are fucked.

Welp tried on my own PC, through a VPN, and on my phone with mobile data for more than an hour. Each time it started out with regular errors, then moved on to the "too many attempts". Sigh.
Unfortunately not, I had it in cart at 18:00 and got a "[UWSL][UWSL]There was an error with a recent Steam purchase.[/UWSL][/UWSL] " email from them at 18:03. Got an order through now and I'm queue position 7800/7807 according to the link earlier.
The [UWSL]rtReserveTime[/UWSL] also translates to 19:12 my time, when the order finally went through.

click "Hold on to your butts!"
My pending order got rejected and now ive managed to get one booked, reckon im way down the list though. will submit a ticket to Steam but i doubt anything can be done now. How do i see where i am in the queue? That link just comes up with a white page that says 'success 21'

Well, I don't need one right now, so:
So many Decks in activity feed. This was like the day Persona 4 Golden went for preorder
Deck > Anime
Deck > Anime
There is now level zeroI assume it's per country lol
Valve seemingly plugged the leak of queue size and position
That's a lot less than I expected, especially since the servers were clearly overloaded.
