    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.

    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. 😅

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

    I got in the queue. I’m sure there will be a lot of cancelations though. A lot of people probably signed up because it was free, and we’re still deciding if they wanted to purchase. In three days I bet you get your chance.

    Out of curiosity, which version did you sign up for? I signed up for the cheaper one. I wonder if the more expensive one is more limited?

      I signed up for the smaller version as well. Judging from the tracker website, you indeed had a slightly better change for that one than for the 1 TB:

      Although that doesn’t tell us anything about how limited it was, since it also depends on how many ordered that version in the first place

    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

    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.

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

        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.

    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.

    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.
