    Phew, finally got a foot in the door and ordered the 512GB OLED Steam Deck. Only took 1 and a half hours, with an hour break in-between.

      Managed to get mine by about 6:27pm with some perseverance

        Bit of a bummer that the limited edition was USA and Canada only. That might have persuaded me to buy something I don't need at all.

          They appear to still be freely available to order so seems the rush wasn't necessary?

          I was tempted but the minister of finance would have killed me so I held off. Still really want one though maybe I'll wait till next year and swap out my LCD model without the mrs noticing anything has changed.

            Valve have updated Half-Life for its 25th anniversary. It's now steam deck verified, has a few updates and best of all it's free for a short time.

                  Valve have also released newer APU drivers for Windows and said they will be addressing the Bluetooth , WiFi and other drivers soon.

                  This is actually interesting because there hasn't been much going on in this space. Valve were too busy getting the OLED model and Steam OS 3.5 out the door.

                  They've said official windows and dual-boot support is still a priority so I wonder if we will see these really soon? Would be a huge plus for those who are looking at other Windows based handhelds in the same space.

                    Whoops I appear to have sold my LCD model on ebay and instantly fell on the OLED purchase button shortly after.

                    Operation plan C in effect...

                        Out of interest what model did you have and how much did you manage to sell it for? I'm considering doing the same with my 256gb

                          I sold my 256gb model but with a 1tb SSD in it for £365. I included the original ssd in the auction.

                            Anyone got their OLED model yet? Mine has moved into "Packaged Items" on the progress chart so assuming it should go out to a carrier soon enough..

                                Mine has been Shipped from Valve (In the Netherlands?) but hasn’t yet been picked up for shipping to the UK.

                                My SanDisk 256GB Extreme Pro Card and Jsaux Screen protectors have arrived in prep from Amazon though!
