Man that's rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(
Edit: Here's a website that's giving some rough estimates! https://steamframeout.com/
Edit 2: And this one: https://steamhardware.io/tracker/steam-frame/
I got in the queue. I'm sure there will be a lot of cancelations though. A lot of people probably signed up because it was free, and we're still deciding if they wanted to purchase. In three days I bet you get your chance.
Out of curiosity, which version did you sign up for? I signed up for the cheaper one. I wonder if the more expensive one is more limited?
I signed up for the smaller version as well. Judging from the tracker website, you indeed had a slightly better change for that one than for the 1 TB:
Although that doesn't tell us anything about how limited it was, since it also depends on how many ordered that version in the first place
Managed to get on the reservation queue for the 256GB in Canada.
I think Valve used up all of my luck for the foreseeable future, I somehow managed to get a controller at launch, a Machine within a few weeks of launch, and now the Frame.
Still haven't 100% decided if I'll keep my slot, but chances are pretty good I will given I've been looking to upgrade from the Rift S for a long time.
What you guys planning on doing with a steam frame?
I have used vr for like 3 games and then racing games. But thats about it.
Really difficult to justify 1k+ for a device that to me feels like a novelty outside racing games.
I got an index when Alyx came out, and zero interesting games have come out since.
Same, and still on the wait-list (me and my partner) for the Machine. Some rough luck for us!!
Same for me. US, didn’t make the list.
Reservation queue, 1TB, EU.
I still haven't received an email at all. Getting kinda nervous :'l
I’m right there with you. Still in limbo no email
Sigh, still no mail. I choose to believe that we're just so far at the front of the queue that Valve doesn't bother sending us the reservation mails because we will be getting ordering mails right away 😤
I've received my reservation notice half an hour ago. ♥️ (EU)
Fuck.
Waitlist 1TB EU 😟
Wow, usually I have the worst luck but somehow I landed in the reservation queue. 256GB, EU.
In the queue for a 1TB (USA). I hope everyone gets their reservation in the coming weeks!
I’ve had quite a shit year in general and previous bad luck with the Steam Controller and Machine, so this was a nice change.
It is very unfortunate that these website only aggregate these numbers after the lottery. These estimates are so dependent on having a random sample and this is not guarenteed anymore (people who got on the waitlist are more/less likely to visit such websites)
I don't actually mind that, as it gives a worst case estimation and it is likely to be better in reality. Better than the other way around
Curious stats in the split between 1TB and 256GB lists across countries, some are close and some are far off each other
I'm aware of me and 3 friends entering. One gets to order soon, other 3 are on waitlist.
Wait what? I signed up for 256 GB in the EU, but I didn't get any kind of email yet.
Edit: I finally received the email, 20h after the signup window closed. Waitlist :(
Could take up to a day IIRC, you should recieve something by end of day Sept 18th Pacific time... that's a wait that would have killed me more than finding out I'm on a waitlist. Closure is closure, I guess?
(They did say that emails go out in batches)
Yeah if anything, I'm surprised so many people got an email so quickly. Still a bummer hearing everyone talk about it and just sitting there waiting...
Just ordered yesterday evening. Expected more waiting to be honest.
Fingers crossed for all of you.
Considering the condition of the consumer electronics market right now, I would be surprised if the ratio of signups to available units is anything less than 50:1.
It doesn't seem to be that bad, judging from the tracker sites. More like 4:3 or somethin
