It’s inconvenient but understandable considering how vulnerable Valve hardware is to scalping and money laundering right now.

The prices are about what I expected. Could be worse. What annoys me a little bit is that in addition to being another lottery for an opportunity to buy, you can only choose one model ahead of time. I would probably buy the 1TB model if I couldn’t get the smaller one. But I don’t think I’m going to volunteer for the large model and give up my chance to buy the cheaper one…

That explains why they have the lottery, but I don’t understand why they don’t have an “any model” list. They did for the Steam Machine.

I fully expected $1600 US, so I’m pretty happy with where they ended up personally

From the news I heard, the expected price was around $1,500. I was pleasantly surprised.
