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/
Edit 2: And this one: https://steamhardware.io/tracker/steam-frame/
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?
Just ordered yesterday evening. Expected more waiting to be honest.
Fingers crossed for all of you.
None of Steam hardware is 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.
My cousin and I both got the waitlist.
I’m so happy for everyone else in these comments saying they got on the reservation list.
Valve didn’t want my money too.
They took someone else instead.
I am disappointed and shocked that Gabe chose someone else!
That’s so not like him
Reservation queue, 1TB, EU.
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.
I’ve received my reservation notice half an hour ago. ♥️ (EU)
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
Curious stats in the split between 1TB and 256GB lists across countries, some are close and some are far off each other
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 had an original Vive, and I enjoyed it. There’s not too exclusive VR games, but there are other experiences. For example, 3D movies are viewable without the shitty experience that is a 3D TV. There are also a lot of traditional games that have good VR experiences. Also, obviously, porn.
I used my Oculus CV1 a fair bit before I had to stow my PC for a while. Then of course meta made it so you needed to get a special secret user account on a new service which I could never get to validate, and their stuff didn’t work in Linux anyway, so …
But shooting games, space sims… Various things.
Minecraft!! I already have hundreds of hours in just Vivecraft with no extra Mods, but I’ve been really getting into the whole of Create Mod (with Aeronautics and Coasters Simulated) recently and those would be amazing in VR. My Quest 1 setup is really starting to struggle though, so I’m putting off a full Create + VR playthrough for the frame.
I also kinda want to get into VR Chat, I think. Just to try that whole “socializing” thing, see what the fuss is about.
Other than that, I’m fine with having a novelty device. I used to really like VR for studying since it forced my Adhd ass to keep the studying material in my field of view. But now I’m done with my education (and on some proper medication) so it’s not much of a use case anymore.
I really kinda love vr. I had a dev kit back in tge day and bought tge vive when it came out. Things that are pretty outdated right now i assume. I can’t stress enough how much i love the idea of vr and whatever, but for some reason i get sweaty as hell, i kinda get dizzy, depending on the game. But more than anything else, for some reason it scares the piss oht of me, and i don’t know why. Scary Movies and video games do nothing for me. With vr it’s embarrassing. The best game i played was half life and minecraft (a really early build) i ripped my headset of playing half life and i pushed further until the point where you first encounter these big walkers and i just couldn’t. It’s weird, and i don’t know if that is something i would ever get used to.
I’m aware of me and 3 friends entering. One gets to order soon, other 3 are on waitlist.
Four friends entered, 2 got it. I was expecting worse ratio.
I found a guy who’s willing to sell his reservation for 2.500 € (1 TB model with accessories).
Accept it and go in person with a hammer.
For those who think I’m inciting violence with this comment: you’re correct.
I wasted some of his time, but I guess I’ve reached the end of the road at “wire me 100 € deposit and I’ll be in touch when I have the Frame”.
Inevitable. Fucking scalpers
I’ve been spending some time today reporting scalpers on Ebay and other platforms. Hopefully getting some of them to cancel, but I’m afraid they’ll still find a way to sell.
