Congratulations! Even though they are overpriced, they are the right size and wife approved aesthetically. They are also more functional than a console. I still want one. But I got waitlisted hardcore. I hope you enjoy yours. Do write up your first impressions and a detailed review after you’ve had some runtime with it. It’ll help us less fortunate souls decide to wait out the waitlist, or go build something on our own cheaper but less slick looking :)
What was the email subject line, if you’d be so kind as to share? I’m in the queue too and wanted to add an email rule to flag when that email eventually shows up.
This was mine:
You're officially in the reservation queue for Steam Machine 2TB
I assume if you do not put the 2TB, you'll hit any of the variations you have selected... unless they change it.
I passed on the reservation. 2TB is the worst variation because you're paying the $300 extra for a 2TB nvme drive, and you don't get the controller for $80 that retails for $100 and ebays for $300 (not that i've ever sold anything on ebay.. but if i'm getting f'd by memory prices I want my purchase to be worth it vs the value. 2TB nvme drive for $300 more than a 512gb one is absolutely not worth it even with modern prices.
edit: another one you should probably look for is the 72 hour timer email
Please confirm your Purchase Information for Steam Machine 2TB
is the second email I got letting me know I had the 3 days remaining.
That looks like the email you get when you initially reserve it. I think we're looking for the email subject line for the "Its time to buy it" email so we don't miss it. I'm interested in that one too.
On the initial Steam Deck, there was a popup in Steam itself as well when it was time to buy, i'd be curious if that's still the case.
Please confirm your Purchase Information for Steam Machine 2TB
that was the subject line for the "you have 72 hours" email.
Additionally it shows up in your steam cart until you buy it or remove it. I had a game in my cart and went into the cart a day later and they were both in there.
so anyways, how did you become a millionaire?
Skip avocado toast.
Haven't they told you?
Also, I think you need to brew your own coffee too.
Make a lot of money and don't spend it
Easy, actually
Put it in your ass!
Show us what you're really about...
One (wo)man one machine.
Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. Tell me what’s the first game you’re going to play! :)
I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3, as it crashes my desktop so I've not been able to play it for the last year or two.
I’ve been a patient gamer on that front, waiting for it to dip below 40% discount.
…any day now.
I'm waiting for the gog $4.99 deal in 15 years.
I was expecting a picture of a humidifier.
Just put a bowl of water on top, run cyberpunk and you've got one.
I'm on the waiting list, and boy is it annoying to see them being listed on ebay
Such a great looking piece of tech. Looks like it belongs on a better timeline than this shit one.
Ugh happy for you. I really had in my head that being in the reservation queue meant that I would have mine by now!
Neat, hope you like it! I was interested in one as an upgrade to my Steam Deck since I mostly use it docked, but even before the RAMpocalypse pricing, when Valve said it would be priced like a PC I knew it would too rich for my blood. I'm guessing it was supposed to be around $750, still too high for me to justify.
Sigh.
I got my invite to purchase email midweek. And I didn’t read the fine print like a chump… I selected every model, and the model they offered me was of course, the priciest.
So I have to let it pass me by because I thought I’d get the option for the cheaper one.
Enjoy. I’ll get the next steam train. Your model.
Maybe RAM will be cheaper by then.
😭
Curious. If you had no intention of buying the most expensive one, then what was the point of taking a spot in the reservation queue for it?
I’m not sure I understand the logic here. How would joining the queue for the $1500 give you the winning seat in the $1050 one?
