Stuck on the payment screen myself. Scrolling Lenny and pressing “Pay Now” every minute or so.
This is how it was with the OG Steam Deck, too. Took me about 15 minutes of guard dogging to make sure I got one. That was a pretty stressful time, lol
Preordering the Deck was definitely stressful knowing every little delay could push you weeks down the shipping queue. I think I also got my Deck order in right at about 15 minutes which put my shipment in one of the April waves. Is that about where yours was too?
It’s been too long ago now, but that sounds right
Haha, I'll never forget it because of how much the community was obsessed with mapping order times down to the second with each shipping wave and trying to predict ahead. I checked all those spreadsheets and things quite often in the couple months before my shipping notification. They actually got pretty close. It's a shame I don't actually use the Deck more than I do.
Too late to catch the Steam Deck rush but just in time for the Steam Controller one.
Too late for the Steam Deck
Too early for Steam Machine 2
Just in time for Steam Controller 2
