[Frame] Landed on the waitlist, two friends as well (Europe)

lemmy.world
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.

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/

      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)

          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.

              https://www.steamframeout.com/ is suggesting a friggen ton(ne) more demand than I expected as well.

              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!

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

                      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 own three Steam Decks and my account was made when Half Life 2 released. I have been “past” the wait-list on both the Machine and the Frame.

                          Like, oh well, but still.

                              21 years, active, good standing. Also waitlisted, rather hear that than nothing whatsoever, though.

                              I’m also on the waitlist :(

                                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.
