I thought I was able to purchase one 30 minutes past the release, took 3 hour flight, an hour to chill at home - just checked and bought the LE without issues.

I think that the key point is “if you’re in the US”. I am currently out of the country and was unable to complete my purchase using my US Steam account and PayPal.

Don’t listen to OP. I’ll sell you one for $2,000.

I’d be curious to know if there is any indication in the system settings that distinguishes the LE vs normal oled models. If not, I don’t see why people wouldn’t mod normal oled models to look exactly like the LE and try to scalp it lol.

I haven’t bought anything from Steam so I can’t get it… so stupid. I have had a steam account but I just use link to stream to my phone.

Who in the fuck would go buy from a scalper if they didn’t get the LE?

Can confirm this as of 8:00 p.m. Eastern standard Time. Just completed my order and received confirmation for the limited edition OLED steam deck

I dont totally get the appeal of the LE. The shell is cool but theres lots of similar third party shells

I bought mine about 20 minutes ago in the US. Still available

Because of your sage advice I actually was able to snag the LE just now even hours later :)

Wished they offered a 512Gb limited Ed with the glossy oled for $30 more than the regular 512Gb oled.

I would have hopped on that in an instant.

I thought I wanted the LE but the Blacked Out version compliments the OLED better, and also looks way more badass.

My only concern about the limited edition is the clear case. I had a gaming handheld with a transparent frosted and it developed cracks but I never dropped it… If it wasn’t for that I would have bought it as it’s gorgeous

They stated it’s more of a test to see if ppl are interested in different colours, nothing special about it.

Nooooo stop it, I don’t need ittttt
