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/

Email from Valve: You are on the waitlist for Steam Frame 256GB Kit. When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of Steam Frames currently available for reservation. As we work our way through the reservation queue, some customers may cancel their reservations. If that happens, you may be moved into the reservation queue, and you'll be notified via email that you have a reservation after all.

I got lucky and got onto the reservation list for a 1TB model!

    That reminded me to check my email and I’m in queue for the 1Tb. I think this might rate my first woot in over a decade.

    Woot!

    I got into the reservation Queue, US

    Yup, waitlist. Very sad. At least we can share in the sadness together.

    That's definitely some rough luck. Hopefully you're on the next round!

    I was lucky enough to make it on the 1TB reservation queue in the US!

    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)

    Wait what? I signed up for 256 GB in the EU, but I didn't get any kind of email yet.

    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)

    Waitlist 1TB EU 😟

  • source
  • [–] 5 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

    Just checked my email after waking to read this and, yep, wait list. 256GB in Aus. I'm kind of surprised by the demand, honestly. I thought VR was a bit of a dying fad and more of a niche thing.

    Don’t want to give anyone false hope, but I got a Steam Machine reservation email about a month after ending up on the waitlist (I’m sadly in the US).

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 3 hours ago

    Wow, usually I have the worst luck but somehow I landed in the reservation queue. 256GB, EU.

    I also landed on the waitlist. Sad :(
    256GB, Germany

    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.

    I actually got in the queue but I probably can't afford the damn thing right now, I was being a bit optimistic when I signed up lmfao

    256,EU

    also waitlist 😭

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 4 hours ago

    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.

    Same here, EU and 256GB version. Have not seen anyone anywhere saying they won the lottery yet.

    I did, I think. My email says I'm in the queue instead of on the waitlist.

    Yeah the wait-list email is very clear that you will be waiting. The reservation email didn't explain things very clearly, so when I got it, I wasn't immediately excited. I was worried I was misreading it, so I went to steam but their verbage has been removed from the page. So I ended up having to Google around to confirm that I should be excited.

    Same here, but after I saw some of the email screenshots here showing what the waitlist message looked like, then I realized I had been lucky.

    I won the lottery for the 256GB variant in the US, for what it's worth. Otherwise, based on the community tracker, it's about a 2:3 ratio of reservations to waitlists so far?

    I'm also on the waitlist :(

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

    Waitlist also, western NA region, 1TB model. Damn.

    What are y'alls thoughts for when the next wave for reservations may go out? What were Machine/Controller waitlists like? This is my first foray into Steam lotteries.

    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.
