Man that's rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(
Edit: Here's a website that's giving some rough estimates! https://steamframeout.com/

I'm so happy for everyone else in these comments saying they got on the reservation list.
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.
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?
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 also managed to make the reservation list! In the US.
I'm amazed, I literally never win anything. I very much expected to be on the wait-list.
I got lucky and got in the queue.
That's awesome! So jealous though
Same, had a couple of friends join the list and myself and one friend got lucky. Wish it were cheaper, but I'm excited.
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!
I got into the reservation Queue, US
Wait, there's another queue?
Yeah there's a reservation queue (you'll get it soon) and a waitlist (not so soon).
Meanwhile I’m still waiting for my Steam Machine reservation 😭
Valve didn't want my money too.
They took someone else instead.
I am disappointed and shocked that Gabe chose someone else!
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. 😅
Yes, got the reservation email 17.09 after joining on 16.09. Order was open one day later on 18.09.
Seems, I was very lucky again. 😇
When the Steam Controller came out I just ordered it before there were any queues. When I ordered the 1TB Steam Deck it was soon after out of stock...
Yup, waitlist. Very sad. At least we can share in the sadness together.
Yeah me too.
Four friends entered, 2 got it. I was expecting worse ratio.
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
I also landed on the waitlist. Sad :(
256GB, Germany
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.
I got lucky and got onto the reservation list for a 1TB model!
(Germany)
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.
None of Steam hardware being sold in my country is sad. I asked the Steam support if they have any plans on expanding their country list and they told me that they don't have any such plans at the moment. It was in late summer iirc.
Aw, that sucks. What country is that?
Reservation queue, 1TB, EU.
256,EU
also waitlist 😭
I've received my reservation notice half an hour ago. ♥️ (EU)
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
