@Steam Is there an outage right now with purchasing the steamdeck reservation? I've been trying to purchase since 12:02pm CST, but the site keeps crashing. I tried from my phone and 2 other PC's. It seems to crash when selecting the payment type PayPal, cc'. Now I'm locked out?

@jeffgerstmann Kept getting the “too many attempt” error but just now went through. NOT using Paypal seemed to help since that added a step which gave another possibility of timeout error.

1. I used my credit card. PayPal would not work for me. 2. I purchased through the steam application on my PC, not the website or from my phone. 3. I saw the "too many purchases" error many times. That did not seem to stop me from making the reservation.

@antumbral ya true, I was in steam, it rejected once or twice then sat on "working" for a few minutes then went through. I do regularly buy stuff on steam so it had no issue remembering my paypal or whatever

@LimitedRunDoug Took me over 20 minutes to get mine. Kept getting stuck trying to load paypal. Had to add funds to my wallet first and check out that way. Got errors doing that as well lol but got one in the end.

@IkesTechTalk Ok finally got it. I had to do like you said and just put the card info in directly opposed to using my PayPal. I never have a problem using PayPal when I purchase games from them. But nevertheless I am in THERE!!

Tried to preorder a #SteamDeck, it kept telling me there was some issue with Paypal and to try again. I do that and then it tells me I have tried to make too many payments and just blocks me from moving forwards? Real cool.

@Steam 58 minutes of time out errors, being told I've tried to purchase too many times, then being told my account is too new y account is a decade old with recent purchases), and even making it all the way through PayPal authentication only to get another error. Both website & app. WTF

Anyone looking to try and get the Steam Deck, seems to have a problem with PayPal. Use CC if possible.

(@toddias) reported
@hodapp I kept trying and then got a warning that I had been trying a lot of purchases so I needed to wait awhile. That was using PayPal for payment so I went to Visa and still not working. After 28 minutes of that I just gave up. Maybe next time...

@DeliverooHelp we've tried using your app tonight, as you've started delivering to our area - but every payment method is not working, we've tried PayPal and different cards too. @UberEats will hopefully have our money instead!
