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

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!

I got lucky and got in the queue.

I got into the reservation Queue, US

Meanwhile I’m still waiting for my Steam Machine reservation 😭

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!

Yeah me too.

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

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

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

(Germany)

256,EU

also waitlist 😭

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.

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.

Valve didn't want my money too.

They took someone else instead.

I am disappointed and shocked that Gabe chose someone else!

Four friends entered, 2 got it. I was expecting worse ratio.

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

What does it mean if I received nothing?

I was literally sitting at a table with my only other friend who ordered one when the mail got sent, she got in and I didn't.

Salty, to say the least.

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.

Waitlist (ಥ﹏ಥ) 1TB, EU

I'm also on the waitlist :(

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

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).

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.

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

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.
