Same I will wait for the PS version I think about it for a second but I relay too much on GT Sport and I’m won’t be changing wheel base to play each time haha
Yep, it does that, at least in EU, but, if you look you'll see that that message is related with the csl elite, at least the picture shown is from that wheel despite the link refers to the csl dd...something weird is going on with the website.
You know, maybe it’s because I’m not a “Sim Racer”, but I have been very happy with my CSL Elite Wheelbase since day one. Is it perfect, no, but it’s perfect FOR ME.
It’s up now but good luck , US site is down already. I was lucky enough to get the order in before it crashed. Thank you guys die the heads up in this post. Looks like they wI’ll come in around September. I guess I can imagine it when my mclaren wheel comes next month and make vroom vroom sounds ha.
I would wait until this evening. Give the site time to smooth out. Big breath and relax. No need to get yourself mad about a situation you cannot control. Being that this a pre-order with no limited quantities number, it is just a matter of whether or not you qualify for first wave. If you do, you should have the opportunity to order it.
Pro tip; use google incognito, log in and each time it shows you the internal server error page click the big 'refresh' button until you see it actually takes time loading and then it will eventually lead you to the next page. After half an hour trying I finally managed to order it.
Did you use google incognito? Didn't work neither for me on google normal. When the DD pops up in wheel-bases then you have to click on the image itself to go further.
Keep refreshing is all I can recommend then sadly when you see that error. if you try a couple of times in succession and then it starts loading longer instead of refreshing the 'not available page' immediately, it should finally redirect you.
I am first time buyer, I ordered the LE F1 wheel yesterday and got the invite for DD today (lucky day)
First, close all the tabs and open a fresh window of browser and clear your browser history
Open a new browser and go to Fanatec.com and login (don't close it)
Open the link from your Email that says EU/US/Japan etc (select the correct region). This should open a new tab next to the window that is open with your login
Just add the DD, don't add anything else or click on other products etc
Checkout and pay (right now it is only allowing you to pay for 8NM Unit)
Done. Wait for other stuff later and order separately. Took me 5 mins and the order was done. If I tried to click on other links from the email, it was a mess. So order the DD and order other stuff later.
Nah you have to add the 8nm bundle when it prompts you, if you just close that pop up it will continue with the default 5nm version. Also take note that if you add the 8nm power brick you don't get the 5nm included anymore.
Website seems to be up and running now, so no more shenanigans 👍️
Received the Email at 17.30 (UK Time) 4th June - have just spotted it this morning 5th June and the CSL DD appears to be sold out in Europe site - is this correct? In the meantime I will be selling my 8 month old CSL Elite (Playstation version) on Ebay - hope I can get close to the 350 Euro's needed to cover the CSL DD.😂😂
No emails sent out to Australians and CSL DD isn't on the Aussie Fanatec site!! The site has been updated with the V2 Uni Hubs and all but we don't have CSL DD listed.
Hey, I think there are quite a few people here on the forum looking to purchase a CSL Elite. I thought they were also located in either UK or EU. Might be worth perusing to see if you can find them. Less hassle than eBay, plus no cut to eBay.

It takes me to a page that says "the product is no longer available"
…..dafuq…..hmm…..

aaaaaaaaaaaand the web is down
Did the Fanatec US site just crash? lol

EU as well
It’s still coming up, and I’m only phone.
I was browsing it 30 seconds ago, but now "The Safety Car is Out."
Oh damn, who spun out…..

I mean it did just hit lunchtime here in the US. Lots of free time for people to get on the site and order/overload it. Similar to Black Friday.
I've been trying since the first mention of people starting to order, to no avail. Fanatec couldn't care less but may lose a customer over this...
I was thinking the exact same thing with it feeling like Black Friday.
I guess I don't qualify since the site pops back up and I'm still seeing the same things as before.
Ok now I actually received the invitation email and the website crashes as everyone wants to order at the same time. 🙄

Actually, there usually is a finite number of preorder units.
Yes, I know that is why I use the word “should”. And meant that there was no number counter as to limited quantities.

Mine just says Item no longer available. I can always click the link but never get to anything to actually hit add to cart.

yup, tried it in incognito and still once i click on the picture of the CSL DD, it spins for a bit and then goes to Item no longer available.

Did we not get any stock?
