So long limited edition OLED deck.
Whew, got one! It really frustrated me to see that it said the items in my cart were out of stock after I had been struggling to purchase for the past half hour. Glad I tried again after a few minutes.
Could still be ones available. Got in at the moment orders opened, never got to check out.
Edit: what the fuck, now I'm being told that it thinks I'm a bot. Fuck off.
Edit 2: kept having issues with getting the limited edition and decided to just get the normal version instead. Checked out without an issue.
I just bought an LE moments ago
Yeah, since they're still in stock I'm considering cancelling my current order and getting one of the LE ones instead, I'm just not sure it's worth the trouble tbh. The main reason why I could see it being worth it is if I decided that I wanted to sell it again later; because the LEs will probably retain their value better.
If it stays in your cart, perhaps you'll still be able to make the attempt later on?
Nope, my cart is now saying it's out of stock. Fuck you too Valve.
Go back, managed to get a limited edition after it told me they were out of stock in my cart!
Damn.. already.
Got lucky i guess, took 30 min of bullshit tries
edit: says can still buy
If it was for the limited edition, it seems like they just put more back in though a further 2 weeks out on delivery.
Keep trying! Apparently someone got this error and was still able to get one
True, if no one managed to actually checkout...
Plus I do still have it in my cart, maybe that means I have one reserved? . Some people were saying that they were seeing a 'join waitlist' type message, dunno if that was for the special edition or not tho.
Edit: Heh, I got that last go around, but still manged to get a Q4 2021/Q1 2022 order in eventually.
Edit2: Now it's showing OOS in my cart. Whomp.
The most annoying part of this is that I now have to wait an hour or so, but I really want to go back to sleep.
Come back! Quick! 😱
Go back to sleep, everything is out of stock
It came back for me.
For me too, I managed to get a limited edition 😳
Didn't bother after it said it was out of stock and got a normal one. Oh well.
Gratz! ~~Enjoy your sleep!~~ [Edit: Ope, that wasn't you.]
I was able to order a regular one. I didn't feel like paying an extra 30usd for the LE version
But those accents … and the see through shell… hnnnggh
While the shell is cool, I'm not a fan of orange. I'll probably buy a clear back shell
Lost the LE because of the error but oh well. I will wait for after market transparent shells and order one.
LE ones are back FYI. Though there’s a longer wait for shipping on them.
YES I got one.
Always use steam gift cards already in your account for in demand purchases. It prevents the credit card processing errors
Looks like they have decent stock of the normal editions at least. Got mine after about 20 minutes and even now it still says shipping in 3-5 days for new orders. With the original Deck launch, people would probably be in like wave 3 at this point.
My sort of interesting experience:
I tried to buy the LE on launch day, and couldn't get through the payment page. When it was listed as sold out, I bought a regular deck without much difficulty.
Then I saw the LE was available again, and decided to try to buy it again. I was planning to cancel my original order if I could get the LE.
I tried to check out dozens of times over the next 24 hours, but on the final page I kept getting the "something went wrong" error.
About an hour ago, I decided to cancel my original order (you can do this by requesting a refund on the order page). The refund was issued 15 minutes later.
I went back and tried to order the LE again, 30 minutes after the refund was confirmed. Went through on the very first try.
So from my limited experience, I think Steam might be blocking all LE orders (and maybe even regular deck orders?) if you already have an active order.
I don't even get the chance to confirm my shipping details!
I didn't even get that far, I only got as far as clicking "Purchase for myself" before getting the 502 error ^. Now I can only sometimes get a login screen after clicking that/refreshing the checkout page, which always results in an error itself.
I just kept going back and trying to click that button every time it failed. It eventually went through. On the shipping details screen, it's the same thing. And then the same when choosing a Payment Method. It's that final screen where you confirm everything that has only one chance to work or you'll have to go through everything again.
Eyy! Got one!
Won't let me complete, says I have to join a wait-list. No info how to do so.
I was able to buy a 1TB OLED just now. Slightly delayed shipping but still stoked. I adore those accents
Are there any if the non LE left?
We were able to get the LE after more than 20 minutes of trying. I had it on cart on web and the desktop app, the desktop app gave an error while trying to process the payment which put me all the way back to the cart but the web window was able to process it!
