How did you find that out ?

The nerds over on r/steamdeck have been collecting data on what reserve time people had and when they received their purchase completion email.

Yeah I checked mine the other day and can't say I was overly chuffed with the date (Aug 29th). Ordered the 512Gb on the 16th July at 23:35 (Going by my confirmation email anyway).

I'd take the calculator estimates with a massive pinch of salt. The sample sizes, once you get down to a specific region and model, are miniscule, and I'm not sure what the logic is on how it extrapolates the pace at which it moves through the wait times.

The last 11/04 batch of emails for UK 512GB got through nearly 3 minutes on the reserve time list, and before that all of the 5 previous week's worth of emails had only made it to 7 and a bit minutes down the list, so the rate is definitely accelerating.

This is impressive. It's not clear whether i click 'moo (V2 model)' or 'abyzma', but clicking both twice, each for the two imported datasets, i get: may 16, jun 13, april 18, may 09. guess i need to change my delivery address

Am I the only person here who has no idea what the hell you guys are on about?

I'm old and easily confused .

if you reserved, you reserved at a specific time.

Some people have made a calculator that uses that time to guestimate when you'll take delivery.

I reserved my 512gb version as soon as I could after I got home from work but it was a while after the floodgates opened .

It calculated me as getting my order mail in October, despite Valve saying Q3 mails are going out July-September, so I'm not exactly putting a lot of faith in that calculators accuracy.

Another week with 2 email batches, then. Encouraging, but still nothing for me.

I just got the email to order my 512GB, and placed it. Is that it then? It’s shipping now?

When did you order? I ordered at 18.28 but nothing so far. The 512 model too.

Think it ships in 3/4 days time once everyone who got an email today has had the time to respond.

You mean the original preorder? I'd have to go back and check.

Looks like the UK 512GB is currently up to about 1812 on reserve time.

I was ready to order from the moment it went live, but the order page was so buggy essentially getting DDOS'd, i'm surprised some of you got an early ish order. I got mine in at 18:47

I was at 6:06pm

Interesting. I’m annoyed as the website was having a mare. After trying to add for ages as and I finally pressed checkout to see, it t had 4 in there that I could have checked 1 out much earlier. Oh well. Still a while to wait.

No one in the EU interested. Wow.

Paid my £4 deposit dot on 18:50 so not far off your time.

I'm gonna just put this here.

Anybody else’s steam deck shipped last week? I’ve been on left parcel depot on 14/04 and nothing changed.

Apparently there’s a trend of them being stolen by couriers because the distributor is putting the contents on the packaging label and they scalp on eBay for 2-3x the RRP.

Mine has just shipped this afternoon.
