    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.

    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 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?

      I signed up for the smaller version as well. Judging from the tracker website, you indeed had a slightly better change for that one than for the 1 TB:

      Although that doesn’t tell us anything about how limited it was, since it also depends on how many ordered that version in the first place

    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 there’s a reservation queue (you’ll get it soon) and a waitlist (not so soon).

        • 256 GB Australia
        • 1TB North America

    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…

    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.
