@MrktMeditations And what does paypal do with all the crypto they receive ... exchange it for FIAT... it's one big crypto selling machine... lest you forget.. same with VISA. That's why rates are going down down down into the drain

@GAMERTAGVR I managed to get one reserved in the end. I used PayPal but tried a lot of different methods before it went through. I'm probably way down the line but that's ok. I went for 256Gb.

No luck pre ordering the Steam Deck. When I've gone to select payment method it kept coming up with an error message when I was selecting PayPal. Now it's telling me I've tried too many times like it's my fault. Poor form @Steam @Steam_Support. #SteamDeck

@Steam What is considered a new account? I’ve had steam since day 1(or near enough), not purchased anything for several years but plenty before then. Was getting the new account error, now getting the reservation server busy. Managed to get to PayPal but errored out

For anyone with the Steam Deck still in their cart: don't give up! I kept getting "too many purchases" errors and it rejected my PayPal but eventually it took my card and let me through

Dr.NoNo (@fettouhi) reported
@Steam anyway that has been having ******* issues. I recommend get some money in your steam cart which will fix the issue with validating credit card or paypal. Also if you still see the server not responding. You need to flush your DNS on the PC you are on. after that I got trough

@iStricer yeah... :\ Friend of mine is having issues with his. Meanwhile I'm glad I gritted my teeth and went through PayPal in case Steam does anything fucky. Had to authenticate like three times and they took my existing PayPal link off for some reason.
