My theory is that Valve is actively adjusting the shipping schedule and availability based on part and material inventories and purchases, or production and assembly capacity. The earliest they are shipping any unit is 6-10 business days, and we’ve seen the LE unit go from 1-2 weeks, to out of stock, to 2-4 weeks, and back down to 1-2 weeks.
Valve may be selling more of the Limited Edition models than expected compared with projections for the Standard 1TB model, and are diverting the production capacity for the shells to LE models then plan on assembling the next week before shipping.
Their could be several other plausible reasons too.
