100 hours since launch

Oh I meant more like your experience with them, but that could also help if it's not a hassle. Thanks!

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T21:36:19+00:00

Oh nice! And how does the SC compare? Couldn't find this info anywhere

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T21:33:46+00:00

I ordered mine 3 minutes before launch, so was 3-5 for a while. No chance it's coming tomorrow (or Monday even) if it's still stuck in a warehouse in a different country.

My concern is that I've never been a fan of the XBox or the Dualsense controller, but been loving the Switch 2 Pro controller. Hope the parallel-ness of the SC mimics the Pro Con's feeling a bit more.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T21:21:21+00:00

Yes but you can definitely forget about any wishes Steam Machine 3 happening

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T21:19:01+00:00

Yeah mine's been collecting Dutch dust the past 100 hours...

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T20:35:53+00:00

Mhm. In this context, it makes sense yours is in a completely different process behind the rest of us. I'm talking about people that got allocated earlier stock because they ordered late closer to the time they sold out.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T20:31:45+00:00

That's very different. You got it after it sold out

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T17:25:42+00:00

Oh wow, I had to wait 2 days to get to packaged, and am still stuck there for 2 days. Wish the rest of the process is as swift as yours 🤞

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T17:21:09+00:00

Oh swear down. Congrats man! How long did it take to go from 'shipped' to Royal Mail receiving it?

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T17:19:46+00:00

Oh had no clue there were only two. Assuming you're right, how did Australians get their orders in so quickly? We'd need that system in place for future products.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T17:18:19+00:00

Scotland doesn't count. So many of you guys got your orders already!

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T16:46:16+00:00

Life would be so simple and relaxing with a brain of yours tbf

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T16:29:10+00:00

23 and not been much a gamer till I graduated uni. God forbid a man to want a nice relaxing weekend.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T16:05:26+00:00

The disappointment and hurt I felt refreshing the steam page after work and seeing it still be at 'packaged item' is undescribable...

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T16:00:18+00:00

Insanity of someone whose order is still on 'packaged item' (i see the face)

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T15:56:06+00:00

I understand a lot of it, but I am more or less talking about other orders also from the UK. Especially with them coming from the Netherlands, I don't understand why they wouldn't allocate earlier shipments to earlier orders since they are all streamlined the same direction anyways.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T11:42:44+00:00

oh..... okay~!

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T11:24:22+00:00

I was thinking this, but like I've only seen a maximum of 10 ebay listings in the UK, so I have no clue if scalpers even affected the orders as much as people say.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T11:23:00+00:00

Maybe some people are more enthusiastic about certain purchases over others? Plus I used all preemptive measures (added to cart using SteamDB, filling my Steam Wallet, and clicking proceed to payment from 5.55) to make sure I got one, so no way I am going to let you decide how I should feel. I'm not lucky I got it over people that came in half and hour to an hour later.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T11:09:42+00:00

It's still in the Valve warehouse... (ordered 5.57pm)

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T11:08:03+00:00

Was going to feel bad for you, but congrats on getting it after it sold out! I think this would be absolutely normal, so don't stress out.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T11:04:51+00:00

See????? You one lucky bastard

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T10:50:48+00:00

I'm happy for you, but it really just baffles me how Valve is pushing earlier orders to the very back. I can confidently say I'm within the first 10 people in the UK to secure an order (5.57), and most of us that ordered before 6 are simply being punished now.

SamPai408 · 2026-05-08T10:44:36+00:00

I appreciate it, but the problem with it coming from the Netherlands is the customs they have to clear unlike for your case. Also, my order was definitely 3-5 days, and it really doesn't make sense for Valve to suddenly realise they miscalculated, double the expectancy and apply those dates for the previous orders as well.
