Looks like Valve built up stock for the sale.
Soldato

Grabbed a 64GB.
Finally caved. Had the 256gb model in my cart whilst I carried on browsing for games. Sure enough when I went to check out half an hour later they had sold out. Managed to bag a base 64gb model though, which for what I need is probably just as well.
Best off just getting the 64GB and ordering a 2TB 2230 SSD for £100
Back in stock
Steam Deck™
Steam Deck™ is the most powerful, full-featured gaming handheld in the world.
20% off the Steam Deck dock too, £79 down to £63.20. Tempting even though I have an unofficial one. I'll probably get it to rule out port issues with crappy hubs

Where can you get 2TB that cheap?
Probably Aliexpress, otherwise you can get a 1TB sabrent this side of the world for £100.
Aliexpress as @Mesai said. Or pay £90 odd quid more to get it a few days quicker with a better returns policy.
This is mine, ready to fit in my new deck when it arrives. Seems pretty legit to me
Wow, 64, 256 and 512 models all out of stock now
I note the 'faster' on the 256 and 'fastest' on the 512 model. Does this mean a different SDD is used in the 512 model?

I was waiting for pay day today, now all versions of the Steam Deck are sold out. What's the point in advertising the sale on the Deck on the splash page for the entirety of the sale if they're sold out within 24 hours?

They come in and out of stock, they'll be back.

You're annoyed that you missed out and you now want one even more. That's why they do that...

And you buy a 512GB that pops up as you don't want to miss out.
I blew £1400 on a 3090FE during lockdown. No idea what I was thinking!

512 and 64 models were out of stock yesterday. I checked 10 mins later and they were both in stock again
I believe that the ssd on the 256 is pcie x2 as opposed to pcie x4 on the 512. Though testing shows little to no appreciable difference in practice.Aliexpress as @Mesai said. Or pay £90 odd quid more to get it a few days quicker with a better returns policy.
