the only reason to fight for “first” is to get your order processed the soonest.

It was never really a concern that the OLEDs, in general, would sell out. Valve said they had plenty of stock and the situation this time around was entirely different than the Steam Deck launch. They’re also going to keep making them for the foreseeable future. What did surprise people is that the Limited Edition remained in stock. That was the only thing that was expected to go quickly, and Valve explicitly said that once it was gone it was gone.

Not silly at all. I think it’s awesome that we’re all getting the model we wanted and we had an exciting shared experience with a positive outcome. It’s going to be a great Christmas!

I don’t feel silly at all. That’s part of the fun.

This is great. It means the f’n scalpers won’t be able to feed.
