Probably was marked as sold out for awhile, I've seen at least 4 different websites report on it being sold out earlier today. I'm assuming some of those sites actually verified it showed as sold out online.

It made some rounds on Lemmy 2-3 days ago

Do you have that factoid tucked away in your brain or did you look it up just for this comment?

Ars often has multiple titles for a while before it settles on one. The URL is usually one of the title options.

Ah, so it is. I read the URL and assumed that was the title as it often is.

I just used the current article title.
It is noteworthy that it sold out, _despite_ the price hike. Apparently it's still desirable at that price, although without actual sales numbers it's hard to say for sure.

Steam Deck sells out after 9/11

Well I mean this article is a complete lie. I can buy one right now in the US.

What a weird title! ~~Yours, I mean.~~ It's sold out within 24 hours of _being made available again_ after weeks and weeks of _not_ being available. The price hike is just ancillary information.

In spite of countless articles at the time littering my feed about the Deck's age, "better" alternatives, and so forth - I bought mine about two years after the initial release. Not one regret. Universal remote for anything I self-host, emulation monster, Cracktorio pipe... It's still easily one of the coolest pieces of kit I own. Glad I got it before now.

Price hike in 2 years incoming.
Also this is going to be the thing every kid wants for Xmas. It's almost exactly the same formula that happened with other fab toys over the years.

They have beaten every other handheld in the ergonomics. After using it, I can't use any other handheld.

If I hadn't already bought one before all this AI-induced production chain ruination, but also knowing what I now know about it and how I've used it, I might still pay those prices for it.
