I just got an email saying I was in the reservation queue for the 512GB steam machine. Anyone know roughly how long before the "come purchase it now" email should come through?

I know it varies, just looking for a vague timeline.

I got in the queue on the first day of availability (June 22nd/26th), and have not yet got a purchase opportunity.

UK.

Edit: well, heck. Just found an email I missed. August 20th.

I've heard if you ask nicely to Steam Support they'll re-add you to the reservation queue. Your mileage may vary

I have readded myself to the queue, as I felt it would be unfair for me jumping the queue in any way given it was entirely my fault.
