Valve announces the SteamDeck

I just want one to try it. If I do not like it I likely can sell it and break even.

Ok, looks like I got it finally

Took 12 minutes and I was ready as soon as the button was active.

Reserved 512gb eventually, kept saying there was a pending transaction when I kept trying to buy it, and it just went through by itself.

Dame, not available in my location

Have to wait to whenever I can return back to the UK.

I just reserved using a UK address then changed to my other one.

Will try it for a few days, if I don't like it will sell it for what I paid..

Did you just kept clicking on continue button on the payment screen?

9 minutes for me and likewise. I did check my purchase history around 7 minutes in and I could see it there and it was simply pending Valve taking payment so felt more relaxed when I noticed that.

I actually always wanted something like this. So I think I will probably keep it. But it all depends how good it is. If the resolution turns out to be too low then I will sell it and wait a few more years until there is a soc on say 3nm that can drive higher resolutions.

No. I click and wait for something to happen. If nothing then try again. Not sure clicking over and over helps.

Im stuck on the payment method screen just an endless loop

manic111 · 16 Jul 2021 at 18:17

It's now telling me that payment is failing to initialise

"Your account is too new to pre order"

lol Steam.

Tried buying with paypal initially, kept saying there was an error. So decided to use card instead 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." And it won't go through.

Meh...

I went for the 64GB one as I do not see the point in all the extra storage for the prices they want. I already have a fast 128gb card I can stick in it which will be more than enough as I do not play many games at the same time. Also memory prices keep[ getting cheaper. By next year sticking in 256GB will likely be dirt cheap.

I like the idea of playing old games on it and those are not that big anyway. Want to try all my Resi games on it

Same. Only thing im worried about is the resolution. 800p is only about double than ps vita. Lol.

Yeah, it's a ****-show - finally got my purchase receipt though - ordered through the steam application rather than the website and paid by card 'cause PayPal wasn't going anywhere...

Thing is, will they actually ship it outside the UK when the time comes ?

Already had a bunch of pre-orders cancelled because of whatever law came into effect on 1st July.

I'm getting the same message trying to use Paypal.
