Whoop got one.

Couldn't you do that already with a tablet on xcloud.

I've put in a reservation. (Website seems to work for me, maybe I was lucky!) I might well get cold feet and not follow through - it is expensive! - but I do think it looks pretty cool.

I’ve had steam since April last year. Weird.

It’s probably not a bad thing, I reckon you want to wait for a revision or 2.

I'm having that problem too.

To be honest, I don't mind. It saves me money :oops:

Yep, no access at all.

Got from no access to the steam store at all to pre order placed in 10 minutes. :lol:

In theory, yes, but I've found cloud gaming on gamepass to be too laggy to really enjoy properly for anything other than point and click or turn based stuff, and I already have the Yakuza games on steam, so would rather be able to play them there where I can continue to use the same save files, rather than start from scratch on the gamepass ones. Plus this is a screen and controller built together, rather than trying to play on a tablet with a USB controller plugged into it.

I have seen a lot of people have that issue.

I still cant get one. Oh well, I will just wait.

I’ve just got one. Check your wallet, I had the 3 in there. I could then ‘complete purchase’. I paid £4 for the reservation on the £500 512Gb one… what have I done.

Your account is too new to reserve early.

Okay then.

Okay then.

Click ‘reserve’, nothing will happen, then Check your cart.

Ah got one, cheers.

So close to preordering the 512GB version and then Steam gooseberry fool the bed at the final hurdle. Don't think the deposit went through.

Seems quite a few of you got one, very much looking forward to reading your thoughts on the device

Said the same for me with 11 years service. Reloaded and could then reserve. Went with the 256GB option. 719 games on my Steam account so enough to justify it :shifty:

strawberry float it. Got to the end, gooseberry fool the bed again. Now showing delivery as Q2 2022.

Might just leave it.

No guarantee I’ll go through with it. It says ‘expected Q1 2022’ but I reckon it will come forward with people not taking up the reservations.

I can now see how the information develops over the next 6 months before going for it or not.

Still trying. Still failing.

Where does it show any delivery information?

When you click the banner and it takes you to the external page. Beneath the options.

It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again

If you go back to the reservation page, it blanks out the other 2 options and shows under your option, for me: ‘Expected order availability: Q1 2022’

Took over an hour but finally managed to preorder 512GB model.

Can't wait for it to arrive in 2023 to sit on a shelf and never be played!
