Sick website. Not

Honestly surprised I managed to get it

I'm not even planning to reserve it, but

If this is too new, how far into the future do new-new people get to reserve?

Owned, newbie

For $5 I decided to hedge in case I end up getting pumped for this.

@blackdog ah nope, still 30 mins to go until it opens  

I saw the reserve button active, and the time conversion was saying I was like 15 min past the opening (time to recover login and get past all security on a new computer and was disabled)

Reserved myself one as well. Probably use it once and forget about it like everything else I seem to buy that's computer or game related

They don't ship out until 2022. In the case of the 512, not until Q3 2022. le sad face

That’s almost Musk level bullshit

It says "Your expected order availability: Q1 2022", but I heard otherwise on Twitter? dunno. Hopefully it really is Q1

Still very annoying, considering they advertise for holiday 2021.

I think Holiday 2021 is for the first batch (which was sold out almost immediately) and not for the 512 version.

This certainly looked appealing to me, but I'll just have to be patient like Eric. Holiday 2022 maybe for me.

Btw Valve uploaded something themselves on a channel I thought was dead

"Steam Deck reservations moved back to Q2 and Q3 2022. 

An overwhelming number of orders caused problems for Valve when it opened pre-orders for the newly-announced Steam Deck on Friday. Many users struggled to get through the reservation process, either encountering error messages about the transaction itself, that they had attempted too many purchases in the last few hours, or that their account was "too new" to make the reservation.

The first tier of pre-orders is expected to ship in December, arriving Q1 2022. However, reservations for the 256GB model have been pushed back to Q2, and orders for the 512GB model are expected in Q3.

Despite the delay in shipping and account specification, Steam Deck pre-orders are already appearing in eBay listings at inflated prices, some as high as £1,200."
