I'm just curious if anyone else tried to get one of the Limited Edition Steam Decks before they sold out. I tried for it (on 3 devices) but kept getting error messages until it sold out. I just ordered the 1 TB edition instead.

This will be my first portable gaming device since the DSi, so I'm really excited for it. Getting the clear LE one would have been cool, but I'm probably better off not spending the extra $40 CAD, lol.

So, what's your Steam Deck situation? Did you try for/get the LE? Do you already have one? Getting one? Don't want one?

Yep! I got one.

Got it into my cart within seconds, didn't even get through more than the cart screen before I started getting 502 errors. Eventually went out of stock. But, showed back in stock a few minutes later and I was able to get my order in. My order email shows 12:29 (10:29 PST).

Already had a 512 Deck that I got in Feb 2022, but when you combine mainstream Linux gaming, OLED, and a translucent shell, apparently I have no self-control.

So glad I posted this, lol. I was still able to order an LE just now and was able to use the automated system to cancel my original order.
