    the way valve played this, it just seems like the point was to mess with scalpers lol. they used the words “very limited” in the ad, and even the interview they did they also said it would be very limited, and that they expect it to sell out. even said they weren’t giving out a number, just that it would be limited. also made it seem even more exclusive by not letting any reviewers even get their hands on it.

      I saw limited edition oled reviews before they were purchasable. IDK where this is coming from.

        Linus tech said they had to drive somewhere to get hands on footage because they were shipped a standard model. At least that was in the video I watched yesterday, but I do remember other reviewers having the limited so maybe it was just a certain level of exposure. Couldn’t say. But I saw both in reviews.

      There were eBay listings for the OLED with 100% markup the second it launched. Screw every one of those people. I hope their Thanksgiving turkey is dry.
