I ended up on the wait list from the lottery, but I received an email at 2am this morning that I'm now in the reservation queue. My Steam account also says the same. There may be hope for waitlisters after all!

I received my Frame yesterday (much to my surprise as I never got the shipping notification). All in all I am delighted. I've had so much fun playing 2d games on a gargantuan screen (this old man's eyes ain't what they used to be) that I find it worth every penny.

I even tested what I thought to be my stretch goal with this device which was streaming directly from my SteamDeck to again, give me a big ass display and it works wonderfully.

I bought a Quest3 some time ago and have hardly used it because 1. I had to create a throwaway Meta account and do a bunch of network fuckery to even feel safe using the damned thing, and 2. There just wasn't much to do with it other than watching movies (which was admittedly quite nice). But this is a whole different ballgame. I feel like an enormous chunk of my Steam backlog just opened up to those moments of laziness when I'm just vegetating on the couch.

I also love the idea of a hackable Linux computer I strap to my face, I foresee lots of fun tinkering in my future with this doodad.

Highly recommended by one random old fart on the internet.

That's great to hear! Can't wait to get mine ๐Ÿ˜
