How quickly are the order emails going out? I feel like I’m going crazy checking my emails every 5-10 minutes. Like this is taking a serious mental toll on me.
I got the reservation queue email on the 17th. Haven’t gotten my chance to actually buy the thing yet.
Got mine on Sunday and ordered immediately. Now I’m waiting on any update for the delivery.
for me it took a bit more than 24 hours but i guess i very much used all the luck ot the year and maybe the next. Maybe make times when to check like 1x after dinner (stay nourished bro) so they will hopefully ship it the next day. Maybe try to keep your weekends free to look for games you would play on the frame (but only buy them later, first the frame needs to be paid)
I’m waiting too. Relax, you have three days to complete the purchase, compulsively checking every 5 minutes isn’t going to make any difference to how quickly you get it.
It will take more than a few days if your randomized queue number puts you behind many others. A friend’s went out 4 days after reservations were set, and I thought that was a pretty quick turnaround.
You could have a look at https://steamframeout.com/ to see the rate of order progress (self-reported though). But anyway, you’ve got 3 days to respond so there is no need to check constantly (but I do get the instinct to be obsessive about it).
my steam machine for reference: waitlisted on 6/26, got the email to buy 9/7
i suspect i lucked out and got it kinda early. havent seen much talk about it.
i am not expecting to get to buy the frame until 2027, but maybe ill get lucky again.
I was waitlisted 6/26, email to buy 7/7 for the steam machine.
Sadly couldn’t justify another 1k on gaming stuff.
Took three days to go from list to reservation queue, then another four before getting the green light on placing my order.
The site informed me that shipping would be a bit slow given the volume of orders, and two days later, it’s ostensibly packed and awaiting transfer to the carrier.
I’m on the wait list for the 256gb and I have no idea how often I should check or how long I should expect to wait…
don’t you guys have notifications for your emails?
What do you mean? Are you asking how much time you should expect to pass between getting the reservation confirmation email and the order confirmation email?
Please touch grass
If a VR headset is taking a “serious mental toll” on you, you should consider spending your $1k getting professional help.
I’m not sure how much good 8 talk therapy sessions is going to do. Less if we’re counting prescriptions, transportation, and further medical or QoL costs.
