It's more Valve didn't make preparations in or at the right time. I wont hold it against you when I go buy one.

It's limited to 300 units, so the odds are already slim.
Also, I have never really heard of an overseas tester for hardware. I don't think it's so much that Valve led anyone on, as much as the people complaining got wrapped up in viral media and had unrealistic expectations.
