There was a batch of reservations that got to order last Friday. People online said they got reservations in 2 min early from announcement. From what I recall and assuming demands like steam deck the first couple batches in the US were like 2 second increments and then gradually increasing to 20 seconds, other countries were luckier and started 30 seconds to minutes.

The reservation opened yesterday and went smoothly. Reservation feature seems to be designed well to be hammered and still work.

Don’t regret it cause a lot of people did that and still couldn’t get through. The endpoint that everyone was stuck on affected every payment method. Still gives you more options I guess.

I’ve seen 3 posts on this by you, the only thing I want to add is please submit an issue on their github so maybe a better / official solution can come to light. It also would expose this conversation more to just Lemmy users.
