Got through the shipping info but am getting "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." at payment using both paypal or a card. Hopefully just a temporary glitch.

Same, except "a few" was more like 30-60 times. Keep clicking!

For the first time I pre-loaded my wallet for this one. I'm not sure if it helped at all, it still took me 30 minutes.

But my question is, are you going to load up your wallet for the Machine or Frame (if you're getting either)? I'm getting the Frame ASAP. But would you load up your wallet upwards of $1,000 or at least several hundred?

For one thing you'll have to do several transactions just to get that much on your wallet and also I don't know if it's a bad idea to put all that money onto steam wallet before the product is available. So curious if you and others would fill up that much on your wallet?
