Did anyone get the Limited Edition OLED Steam Deck (self.gaming)

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?

I did, and I'm very glad! I set an alarm this morning, made sure everything was good to go. Got the LE right at 10:00:03 and delivery said 1-2 weeks but then the purchase didn't actually get through until 11:26 after many various different errors. Got the "out of stock" message maybe 5 times by which point it was saying 2-4 weeks lol. At one point had been restricted from "too many attempted purchases."

I'm just glad I managed to get one. Valve hardware is truly something else. I happily use my 4 Steam Controllers (game nights and I rotate them :)), I got the Index when I was able to have space for VR and after that the Steam Deck was just a no-brainer (went with the 512gb for the anti-glare as I'm not a fan of gloss.)

When they announced the OLED I was a little remiss but accepted that it was gonna happen eventually. No plan to get it or sell the old one even though I've really wanted an OLED gaming device since emulating on phones actually looks really good compared to LCD screens.

Then I saw the red themed translucent and apparently something came over me and I'll have 2 Steam Decks now. (don't worry, my OG currently has 4 roles so it will still get plenty of use as a music tracker and girlfriend machine... er, machine for her)
