Someone mentioned in another thread putting the money in your Steam account before the product becomes available, because the payment processing is usually the problem.
I did and even that failed. I was spam clicking the continue button for 15min until it randomly went through
Doesn't sound like it failed.
Well I’ve got lucky, it failed only about 1000x before it let me trough
I had money in my account from a friend's gift I was keeping aside for the controller, and after a few attempts where it errored out I was able to place my order
Nice try GabeN
This is what I did. Followed by 30 mins of clicking purchase. Finally went thru.
That did not work for me either. Though full disclosure, I only tried to purchase a game with it during the outage, but it failed with the same messages I was getting with my other payment options.
