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

    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.

        Yeah there’s a reservation queue (you’ll get it soon) and a waitlist (not so soon).

    Just ordered yesterday evening. Expected more waiting to be honest.

    Fingers crossed for all of you.

      oh, so you were able to order one already? I’m still waiting for my turn and have some discounted VR games in my cart. 😅

    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!

    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.

      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 Things that are pretty outdated right now i assume.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 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.

    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.

      Some of us don’t mind spending money on our hobby.

      And rather mind getting data scraped by one of the biggest advertisement companies that subsidized their headsets in order to get more data and get bootlickers online to defend their malpractices.
