    I got on the reservation list for a friend :) He didn’t even get on the wait-list, haha. But he had a smart plan to ask as many friends as possible to sign up and actually two of us were chosen. I am not even interested in Frame, I do have a Steam Deck, but otherwise I’m a console gamer and VR was never fun to me (I tried multiple headsets), I just like pancake games more.

    Valve didn’t want my money too.

    They took someone else instead.

    I am disappointed and shocked that Gabe chose someone else!

    I’m so happy for everyone else in these comments saying they got on the reservation list.

    Curious stats in the split between 1TB and 256GB lists across countries, some are close and some are far off each other

    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.

      Minecraft!! I already have hundreds of hours in just Vivecraft with no extra Mods, but I’ve been really getting into the whole of Create Mod (with Aeronautics and Coasters Simulated) recently and those would be amazing in VR. My Quest 1 setup is really starting to struggle though, so I’m putting off a full Create + VR playthrough for the frame.

      I also kinda want to get into VR Chat, I think. Just to try that whole “socializing” thing, see what the fuss is about.

      Other than that, I’m fine with having a novelty device. I used to really like VR for studying since it forced my Adhd ass to keep the studying material in my field of view. But now I’m done with my education (and on some proper medication) so it’s not much of a use case anymore.

        I really kinda love vr. I had a dev kit back in tge day and bought tge vive when it came out. Things that are pretty outdated right now i assume. I can’t stress enough how much i love the idea of vr and whatever, but for some reason i get sweaty as hell, i kinda get dizzy, depending on the game. But more than anything else, for some reason it scares the piss oht of me, and i don’t know why. Scary Movies and video games do nothing for me. With vr it’s embarrassing. The best game i played was half life and minecraft (a really early build) i ripped my headset of playing half life and i pushed further until the point where you first encounter these big walkers and i just couldn’t. It’s weird, and i don’t know if that is something i would ever get used to.

    I fully expected to be waiting till spring. Got reservation, to my surprise. I’ve got 1500€ set aside for it since January.

    1TB, EU

    I found a guy who’s willing to sell his reservation for 2.500 € (1 TB model with accessories).

      I’ve been spending some time today reporting scalpers on Ebay and other platforms. Hopefully getting some of them to cancel, but I’m afraid they’ll still find a way to sell.

      Accept it and go in person with a hammer.

      For those who think I’m inciting violence with this comment: you’re correct.

        I wasted some of his time, but I guess I’ve reached the end of the road at “wire me 100 € deposit and I’ll be in touch when I have the Frame”.

        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 😤

    Damn, that email meant I missed the draw?

    I’ve missed every steam lottery draw and this one sucks the most. 50% odds, too, apparently.

    Same, and still on the wait-list (me and my partner) for the Machine. Some rough luck for us!!
