Now getting this when trying to checkout

Keep trying, I was stuck there for over 10 minutes, just keep hitting continue.

I'm gonna level with ya'll, I'm not that excited about it, I just enjoy the chase.

Yeah. I nearly joined in to order one. Was thinking maybe I get one. Enjoy the hype, use it for a week or so and sell it. Would at least get what I paid for it I would imagine. Then thought **** that. Might like it too much and then not be able to be happy with the crappy lcd one I am after

Finally worked, bagged a 512GB. So glad I had my steam wallet topped up otherwise it would have failed at payment i guess.

I got the same - just keep trying..

 

[kamz]

Took a while but keep at it, went for the 512 version

 

[Wilko_Dog]

How long is a while to wait for you to be able to complete a purchase again

 

[Guest2]

FYI also - "Keep trying people. Even if it says out of stock. I just kept spamming the button on payment method screen and eventually got through."

I would have imagined with Steam walled it would have been by far the fastest.

So what games we all going to give a go once it arrives ?

 

[Noxia]

Glossy LCD left vs Etched OLED right, yikes

but in this example (OLED bottom) it looks better and the LCD glossy has reflections. Not an issue for me as I don't play with lights above me but still.

So what games we all going to give a go once it arrives ?

Anything from about 5 years ago and 2d indies because I don't see the point in playing more modern titles on low settings to get 30fps and an hour's battery.

It’ll lock you out soon

Not to worry, I got through at 6:20pm, when it finally worked it steam popped up a message asking to verify my purchase on my CC app, went through fine just once

Always go glossy imo.

I think I'm mostly planning to use it to continue games I've started at home on my Xbox, where they have cross save, when I'm traveling.

Plus for strategy games etc

I went with the 1TB. It's only £90 difference which is close to the price of a 1TB NVME drive that fits.
I can pass my 1TB upgraded OG Steaddeck to my son.
