Question Added to queue AFTER initial batch, and actually received a unit?

Has anyone that:

  1. Did NOT get into the initial queue / waitlist
  2. Later got an email saying they were added to it

Actually get the chance to purchase the unit and receive it in the mail yet?

Several people I know are in this situation (including myself) but the website says "2027" and we can't tell if they've already sold out and we're basically in line for the next batch 12+ months from now... or if there is a chance we might get a unit that physically exists today.

I swear if a waitlister gets a steam frame before a day one reservist....

If they're a day one wait-lister, is it any different?

It's anyone who joined the wait list after that first day that's the issue.

It does matter. Cause if someone goes from wait list to reservation and gets one before a day one reservation gets one? That shouldnt be allowed. The wait to reserve should be end of reserve line

On Sunday, I switched from the first day 256GB waitlist to the 1TB waitlist just to see how it goes. I'll update if it happens.

No one. Everyone added from waitlist to reserve is 2027

No one who didn't make the initial reservation queue should be getting a purchase email before those who were in the queue before. I've seen no indication that that's happened.

But if you got moved into the reservation queue then that should mean that you'll get a purchase email in 2027, but probably not early in the year unless a whole lot of people pass on their reservations.

I’m a “day 1” reserved in Canada. Valve stated that the reserve and waitlist are by “specific region”. Meaning I can be on reserved, but those in EU waitlist, can receive one before me. Additionally, someone in Texas, who was moved from wait list to reserved, could receive one before I do, despite me being on the reserved list before them, and being a “day 1” reserved list.

I should also mention, despite being day 1 reserved, I’ve been labeled as receiving in 2027.

The US and Canada are in the same region, North America. So no, if you are ahead of someone in Texas, they won't get it before you do, and vice versa. Both countries are fulfilled out of the same distribution hub.
