Same, in the queue for a 1 TB myself. Vibrations intensify :vibrate:

in for the 256! price is lower than i expected but still high enough that i won't be too disappointed if i don't win the lottery

same,queuing for 1TB

I'm in for a 256 version. Fingers crossed!

I went for the smaller one, too. Flat games I'm going to play on my Deck or my desktop, or streamed from my desktop to my Deck. Big VR games I'm going to be streaming from my desktop to the Frame. The use case isn't there for me for needing 1 TB on the thing, and it saves me £200. And, in a pinch, I can use an SD card.

I actively went for the 1TB version because I specifically DON'T want to turn on my PC all the time. Also, the PC sits in the bedroom (office got rebranded as kid's bedroom #2) with about 2m^2 of free space and I'm not sure the streaming dongle has the power to reach the living room.

Queueing for the 1TB....

In the queue for 1Tb. Slightly worried that the Machine can't stream - not sure if that means Linux in general.

Like CatKiller, I'm not sure I need a 1Tb. I'll mostly be streaming (assuming they get that working). But despite the extra money, I just thought I'd go big.

From what a SteamVR dev said it works on Linux, and Desktop Mode on Steam Machine, just Gamescope (Gaming Mode) is an issue right now.

In for the 1TB myself, really hoping to get in. It solves basically every problem I have with my Index.

I've signed up for the 256 GB version.
Coming from a Quest 1 that hasn't been online in a long time and had to endure a lot of Beatsaber.
I was initially gonna go for the 1 TB one, but I figured that 256 GB should be plenty for the few (smaller) games that I'll install and play standalone.
I've got a beefy PC, so I'm gonna stream from that most of the time.
The only thing that makes me crave the 1 TB version is being able to have a neat portable full fledged little Linux computer strapped to my face.
Mainly for doing VR gamedev right on the device.
But 256 GB should still be enough for that, I'll need a keyboard any mouse anyways and could probably just stream from my desktop or Laptop instead.
Plus, the resolution is likely not high enough to do anything where you've got to read (and write) lots of text.
At least from my experience with the Quest 3 headsets we've got at my university.
Another thing is availability: I'd expect the 256 GB one to be less impacted by current storage prices and availability. (Thanks LLM companies and people flooding the internet with slop and vibeslopped software, burning our planet in the process.)
At least having to wait until the end of the year to be able to order one won't be as bad for me, because I'm currently doing a semester abroad and will be home by christmas at the earliest 😅

Wishing everyone luck :)

Same, "officially in the reservation queue", whatever that means.

I got hit with the waitlist 😭

So apparently the opposite of "officially in the reservation queue" is "your place in line ended up beyond the number of Steam Frames currently available for reservation".

I received an email containing:

"You're officially in the reservation queue for Steam Frame 256GB Kit.
When your Steam Frame 256GB Kit becomes available, we will send you a separate email with the option to purchase. You'll then have 3 days to complete the purchase before we cancel your reservation and move on to the next person in the queue."

The email also contains a link to the FAQs: (External Link: You need to be logged in to view this.)

Looks like I got Liam's Frame... uh oh.

One step closer 🥳
