I was wondering how many of you out there who ordered the OLED model on release already got their Deck? Mine is stuck at “packaged items” for a couple of days and I am starting to get anxious when I get it.

    My OG Deck was also stuck at “packaged” for a few days, I wouldn’t worry about it. They probably have tons of these things to ship and are a bit backed up.

      Mine has been like that since last week. I’m not concerned but a little disappointed there’s no sign of it this week.

    Got mine about 3 hours ago~

    It’s the Limited Edition, and while most of what the reviews said was spot on, it seems either QAM and Steam buttons on the LE are a bit different or something, because they’re ever so slightly raised above the body of the deck.

      UK here as well, ordered at precisely 18:22 according to Steam Purchase history. I’m still on “Packaged Items”/“Shipping Soon” and have been since last week. Starting to suck now that I’m seeing people who ordered after me getting theirs.

        Hahaha, I have just checked and I also ordered it 22 minutes after they started accepting orders and mine says that it is shipped but when I check with the carrier, it says that only the information for the shipping has been sent online but they don’t have it with them, hence probably won’t get it this weekend which sucks.

        So I guess that’s the unlucky 22 minute mark.

          Haha, I wonder if there’s something about those 22mins. Sounds like you’re further along than me still! Does suck doesn’t it, I was hoping to get to enjoy it over the weekend.

      Damn, I was thinking the same but felt bad that I spent so much on the Deck and also I am planning to buy two three games from the sale

    How’s that OLED? I’m debating whether I should get one even though I have the 512GB lcd Deck. Any complaints from this newer version?

      I upgraded to an OLED from an OG 512. I definitely don’t think it was a “must have” upgrade, but I was never really bothered by the LCD.

      The only thing I have approaching a complaint, which is more of a “huh I didn’t actually think about that”, is that on the LE the charging LED shows through the transparent case from the front. I think I can probably come up with some way to fix that (or at least make it much dimmer from the front).

        Yeah I had the exact same thought - “huh, transparent case and charging led” - but I hear they’re going to come out with an update to adjust the intensity of it, so that may help that.

        I also upgraded from OG 512 - personally love the OLED so far. Screen is really nice, battery life will be great to have on my business trips, and the clickiness of the Steam and … buttons is a definite improvement. Do you need any of these things? No… but they are really nice things.

          Oh, nice. I’m also wondering if I can’t paint part of the light pipe so it doesn’t shine outward (as much?). Or print some sort of replacement with opaque sides. We’ll see if I ever decide I’m bothered enough by it to actually do that.

          Yep, totally agreed. Though, I finally started one of my 4 HDR games (Death Stranding) and if I knew it was going to make this much difference, I might have been clamoring for it sooner. Though, I don’t know if DS is hamming it up/designed more for HDR at the expense of the quality without it.

    I’m jealous of y’all. Mine just hit shipped today, and won’t arrive until next Tuesday thanks to the holiday weekend. Got it 41 minutes after launch too. Not LE though, so maybe they prioritized those?

    I just got notification that they have created a shipping label but the device is still not yet handed over to the forwarder. Mine is the 512Gb model and I am based in Europe.

      Ordered it the same, 1TB though. Mine is estimated for the following Tuesday. Took them forever to get it to the carrier, which I got info on yesterday.

      Lucky you, I am also in Europe and since 2 days my deck is listed as shipped even though when I check the carrier it says that only the request has been filled out but they didn’t receive it.

      My forwarder is GLS maybe that’s the problem

          Yes, the status just got updated and the expected delivery is 28.11.2023, bummer, 4 days more to wait. Mind you I ordered it 22 minutes after and kind of expected to get it before.

              Yes, it still says it will be delivered tomorrow between 12 and 16, but what worries me more is that there have been no tracking updates since 24.11. The last update is from 24.11 at 15:33 that the parcel left the parcel centre. And since then nothing.

              I bought a 2Tb SSD and hopefully will have it too so that I can upgrade the 512Gb -> 2Tb. Bought WD SN740 for 160€ which is I guess a good price.
