Yeah, I think with any future hardware they need to fix at least one of two issues. The damned thing had better have plenty of stock, or they need to stop their store from buckling under the demand and let people get their orders in a logical and fair way.
The purchase ban stuff is a long running issue that Steam hasn't deal with for many, many years. I don't really get why Steam is being so incredibly defensive here. For a company that is generally pretty consumer focused, the way that mechanism works is to bother consumers as much as possible, to ensure that no erroneous transaction with problematic payment goes through. My guess would be that any other way would require a ton of customer service workers who look at these problematic purchases and resolve them manually when the system can't. Instead, Steam just kicks you out and if things keep going wrong it just refuses to accept anything from you for hours.
In july i had to RMA mine because of a burned pixel and they sent It back (A new one) with UPS
We can only hope it’s not GLS. Same company as ParcelForce here in the UK and they are terrible. When I ordered my Dock, the driver basically marked my delivery as “fucker didn’t answer the door” without stopping on my street.
Same here but i'm pretty sure that in Europe they will start shipping on monday
Yeah, something shipping from Europe on Monday doesn’t get into Wales until the middle of the week, especially if they use GLS. Hopefully they’ve switched provider since last year or have a UK warehouse.
Does GLS or ParcelForce allow you to specify a pick-up address? Some companies do, and it's often more convenient for me to know I can pick it from a known location than playing the lottery of whether the delivery will be attempted and if not, where they will send it to for me to pick up.
With GLS I tried several times to change the delivery address through their website, this only results in package delivery being delayed by one day and still being delivered to the original address. They are just that incompetent.
I believe ParcelForce allow Post Office pickup, for a fee.
Didn't get mine. But schedule differing between countries notwithstanding, compared to you I think I got mine a good 20 minutes later, so uh.
Gaben hates Germany, confirmedStill not shipped (to Germany) two full work days after ordering
You'll never get it, just accept it at this point and move on with your life. You can't waste away the short time you have on this earth chasing after the past.Still not shipped (to Germany) two full work days after ordering
I wonder if that's exclusive to the LE or shared by the regular 1TB model as well. Given that it's red, i would guess this is LE specificNot missing much, I would not use it
Oh, ew... Thanks, though.Not missing much, I would not use it
I was just itching to know.
Sure, the Steam Deck vent smell might be good, but have you ever experienced the sheer bliss of finally scratching that elusive itch you've been resisting for ages?
I mean, it also looked ugly in the LCD model. That's the whole point. Steam's original look back then was super fugly, even by early 2000s standards.Oh no.
The Steam Green keyboard looks ugly now because of how saturated the colors are
Shush. Shhuhhshhhshshhhsh.
Though strangely, when I got my Deck in April 2022, they were actually incredibly fast. Valve shipped it out on a Friday ( I think) and it arrived in Vienna on the next Tuesday or so. I used their website to have it send to a nearby shop for pick-up and they did it with any issues. Seems like the capricious gods of ultra-cheap shipping services were smiling down on me that one time.Sadly, I wish that was mine.
It's honestly impressive how GLS manages to still beat my very low expectations on how bad a shipping company can be.
