Oof. That's rough. But given how insanely profitable these ~90 minutes must have been for Valve, I'm sure they'll be back in stock in a few weeks since none of the components seem to have supply issues.

I managed to get one by just spam-clicking the continue button for about two minutes. I know, I'm part of the problem.

    I never do that because there's not much I need enough to commit that much, but also because I'm worried that the next week thirty of them will show up on my doorstep and I'll realize I'm broke.

    For me, the error was popping up before the payment confirmation screen, so it wouldn't have been possible. Spamming the button worked for me.

    But shit, if I did accidentally buy several, I'd just offload them at MSRP, probably to people on this site that couldn't get one.

    Same except for about 20 minutes, and that's after wasting like 5 minutes looking for my wallet lol, so apparently I bought one of the last ones in stock

    I knew the inventory would be sold in minutes, so I prepped. I loaded 150 EUR into my Steam wallet in case the 99 didn't include taxes, I double checked that my shipping and billing info is automatically filled in, and I made sure to be at my computer one hour before the release time just in case I fucked up the time zone conversion.

    Same here but with a 100. Had to spam click on payment but it went through after a couple of tries

    Was 100 enough? Mine came out to like 106 or something, with tax

    In the EU prices have to already include tax, so steam prices are exactly what it costs at checkout

    I actually got kinda lucky in that respect, I learned last week that it was coming out today, but I didn't know when, and I stupidly didn't set any reminders or anything. Thankfully I happened to remember the sale this morning and was able to find out the time it started literally 10 minutes before it went live.
