Tried ordering at launch, got the errors, then the OOS after getting thru (20-30mins). Shortly afterwards saw the scalps on eBay for $1000+, and said “eff it” to pass on this gen (as I wanted the LE). Went home that evening w/“WTF” in my head.
Friday the 17th was a new day: that evening, was able to order smoothly an LE from Valve. SMH, still saw $1000 transactions on eBay (some shipping to US addresses).
Just got notification of shipment this morning (Thanksgiving) - delivery estimate tomorrow (Friday the 24th) before 9pm PST.
…and there’s still transactions being completed on eBay for ~$900 (US included) while the “Buy Now” button on Steam still shining brightly @$679. Maybe peeps can’t wait? SMH…
Follow-up on this post: received the deck safe and sound at 10:45am PST today - outer box virtually problem free. UPS delivery person left the box gently resting behind against our porch knee wall, out of sight from the street. Appears Valve isn’t requiring signature upon delivery.
Overall timeline for reference purposes: [in San Diego, CA] ordered on the 17th (I errored out then OOS on launch day), was packaged that afternoon, didn’t get shipment notification until Thanksgiving (the 23rd). Shipped via UPS from Ontario, CA - arrived in SD early this morning (24th) - delivered just now.
