Yes, I preloaded my steam wallet yesterday so I could skip the card step. I happened to check the store page 2 minutes early and it was live so I sent it.

Lucky you, I’m stuck trying to get past the “yes, use my wallet credit” screen :(

It was a good plan to preload it yesterday… but plans and reality. You know.

Edit: 31 minutes later, it went in! With a warning about shipping times due to high volume of orders, but it went in.

Had the same idea but I still can't order.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago

That was very smart, I'll keep that in mind for when the next hardware drops.

Gratz!

I had money in my wallet too and got the buy button about 1 minute early, but still got stuck in the "There seems to have been an error" loop until my order went through 32 minutes later.

Yeah I check 2 min early just so I could refresh the page right at 10, and I was surprised when I saw the orders were open, after spamming the next button on payment, I was able to get mine in at 10

I did not know you could do this. I did save my credit card info yesterday, but would have done this if I knew how.

It's the Add funds button in your steam wallet. You can add multiple of 5s

Thank you! I have always seen that, but figured it was to use a gift card.
