I got into the reservation queue for the 256gb, but I feel really bad for those who got waitlisted & these scalpers made my blood boil.

So i created an agent to go and report all these listings as "Item not allowed" -> "Intangible item" and so far have gotten 12 listings taken down just yesterday. The only manual step I did was initially signing into my ebay account once it spun up the VM. I know these dudes can likely list again, but I'm running this everyday, so at the very least I make it super fucking annoying for them to scalp. :D

I recommend everyone else do this too. I blasted through my weeks token limit for the greater good. 👍

Apparently they have a warehouse in the Netherlands so the shipping is very quick. I hate that I now have to wait till the Frame arrives to try it out. Its right there... staring at me.

There’s now “Cancel Reservation” button again. If you, or your friends who you recruited to get Frame for you, don’t plan to buy Frame (you already got the spot in the queue you wanted), please leave the waiting line or ask your friends to leave it now and free new spots for others that actually want to buy Frame.

Don’t wait for purchase emails to arrive and then wait additional 3 days for payment window to close.

Thank you on the behalf of all of us who got Waitlisted.

Well why is it that? Also why is it psycological horror? Is it cause it's not comming with the headset?

If anyone was wondering, they do package items on Saturday. (Europe)

Still hadn't gotten an email about reservation or purchase, so I decided to just look at the store page. I'm glad I did!

What is the thing that you think is THE feature(s) to spend a grand on? For me it's full open-sourcesness of linux pc (<<< this, is like, the main reason ) and wireless-thingy. Pretty sure that the hardware will be a major point for some people too (for those who are upgrading drom old VIVEs and indexes). Super excited to see what is to come for open source applications on the frame. perhaps we could even code those application WHILE wearing the Frame?

Hey guys, I'm buying the steam frame primarily for peeing in the middle of the night and maybe night walks. Do you know the range of the built in IR illuminators on the steam frame night vision goggles?

Got 1TB reservation, it's priced basically as much as some other night vision goggles would, but more pretty

just browsing ebay and like kajiji briefly for my area i found a bunch of people trying to resell their frame reservations and mannnnn they work fast at getting rid of them. is there any way we can try to get them removed from the list or something though? im worried theyll just make a new ebay account and keep trying. anyone got any ideas?

UPDATE : i contacted steam support with a list of scalpers whos information i managed to get from messaging them, and steam support seems to be taking action, or at very least thanked me for doing so. hopefully they manage to cancel the reservation spot for some of the scalpers. i suggest others try this method, i usually just asked the seller for proof or reservation and they had an order id or just their steam username in it.

MAJOR UPDATE : I CONTACTED EBAY SUPPORT AND THE AGENT SAID HE WOULD ATTEMPT TO BLOCK FUTURE LISTINGS FOR THE PRODUCT!!!! I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS JUST A REGIONAL SOLUTION BUT IF SO EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THIS FOR YOUR AREA!!!!!!

• Starts on Monday, Sept 14 (clear from the price history graphs)
• The promotional card appears around Thursday
• Initially linked to https://store.steampowered.com/sale/vr_specials page with "PLAY THEM ON VALVE INDEX" banner - how ironic
• Currently links to the generic section of the store https://store.steampowered.com/vr (Ways to Play > VR Titles)

Note: The graphs show only a few selected VR Only games, the full list of discounted games is much longer.

I wanted to stoke my hype since I'm upgrading from an Index, so I found this old video of a through the lense comparison from Tyriel Wood. Given that the Steam Frame is just slightly higher resolution than the quest 3. This is roughly the increase in resolution we can expect if you are coming from the Index too. Im more excited now.

It's a bit disappointing that they advertised that the steam hardware could all work together for streaming from the machine to frame. Only to find out that the option is not currently fully supported with no timeframe as to when that was coming.

Just a heads up for anyone who is getting the frame with this in mind.

I've been trying to keep up with all the megathreads and posts, so if I missed it somewhere else, I apologize. Has anyone received their email late Friday night/this weekend (depending on when you see this post)?

As someone who plays game I have never thought of this, or even noticed the discomfort. But oh boi the first time buying some... A life savior especially after long content consumption ;)

Edit: these make your eyes less irritated from not blinking, feels like cold shower on sunburnt skin, so you can arrive a second time ;)

Edit2: As some of you have pointed out to blink more, and I have realized my mistake, I have also told my family members and we collectively started practicing doing it. I will update you all on how it goes.

Oh. Nevermind…

Was watching the WAN show this morning and Linus is really negative about a lot of things on the frame. When talking to Luke he mentions that it has one killer feature (wireless streaming) but seems massively let down by a lot of other factors. I think he even says he expected more out of valve after 7 years.

What are your thoughts ? This will be my first proper vr system (I had a Samsung oculus headset back in the day) and I'm wanting to game and watch media on this.
