Man that’s rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(
It is very unfortunate that these website only aggregate these numbers after the lottery. These estimates are so dependent on having a random sample and this is not guarenteed anymore (people who got on the waitlist are more/less likely to visit such websites)
I don’t actually mind that, as it gives a worst case estimation and it is likely to be better in reality. Better than the other way around
What do you mean by worst case?
I cannot provide a good source (besides the book “How to measure anything”) for this, but probably 50 random participants would be enough to provide a pretty accurate estimate of waitlist wait time. That‘s orders of magnitude less than the data these sites have, but they are probably less accurate.
Wow, usually I have the worst luck but somehow I landed in the reservation queue. 256GB, EU.
Managed to get into the queue for a 1TB here in EU, first bit of proper luck I’ve had with the Valve hardware so far
Wait what? I signed up for 256 GB in the EU, but I didn’t get any kind of email yet.
Could take up to a day IIRC, you should recieve something by end of day Sept 18th Pacific time… that’s a wait that would have killed me more than finding out I’m on a waitlist. Closure is closure, I guess?
(They did say that emails go out in batches)
Yeah if anything, I’m surprised so many people got an email so quickly. Still a bummer hearing everyone talk about it and just sitting there waiting…
Waitlist 1TB EU 😟
In the queue for a 1TB. I hope everyone gets their reservation in the coming weeks!
I’ve had quite a shit year in general and previous bad luck with the Steam Controller and Machine, so this was a nice change.
Considering the condition of the consumer electronics market right now, I would be surprised if the ratio of signups to available units is anything less than 50:1.
It doesn’t seem to be that bad, judging from the tracker sites. More like 4:3 or somethin

Same for me. US, didn’t make the list.
