Tried at 1pm est, and it just wasn’t going through until it said out of stock. Gave up and I just tried right now and there was no hold up, easy breezy. I guess they have a good supply of them? I thought I’d be out of stock for a while.

    They never sold out. They did a common strategy of saying it was sold out for about 15 minutes. Then showing more stock.

    This makes people give up, and the botters leave.

    Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft have all done this as well for online sales.

    I am shocked it’s still not sold out at this point. All OLED models are available, I don’t think the demand is very high, but more importantly I think the days of chip shortages are clearly behind us for now.

    Congrats, I’m still debating if I should get one as well, the stupid “buy now” button is staring into my soul. LMAO, I hope this is Valve’s way of sticking it to the scalpers. It’s limited but not that limited. Analogue could learn from Valve on how to do a limited release.

    Only thing I noticed is that shipping time now says “2-4 weeks”. I managed to get mine in at 10:34 PST and it said 1-2 weeks.

    Sold out on me at the final step at like 1:20 and kept submitting until like 1:30 when it went through. Think we got played by Valve acting like they had 50 of these. They are a true console manufacturer now acting like these are limited but have 80,000 ready to go.

    I woke up an hour late for release. I was so pissed at myself. I had my steam wallet fully loaded the night before too. I ran to my computer and began the purchasing process and upon check out it said the limited edition had been sold out. I was so pissed, but I tried again (idk why) and it worked! My guess is that there are many people buying right now and that they will still have some limited edition decky’s still in stock for a few more hours. Either that or their “limited quantity” is much bigger than I had initially thought. Anyway, super happy I managed to snag one :D

    I think we all may misunderstood the )“limited” idea, assuming it means limited numbers. Maybe it means limited run?

    Don’t say this, I’m on the fence when I shouldn’t be… that color scheme is perfect and I don’t know anybody to sell my 512 to
