    The prices are about what I expected. Could be worse. What annoys me a little bit is that in addition to being another lottery for an opportunity to buy, you can only choose one model ahead of time. I would probably buy the 1TB model if I couldn’t get the smaller one. But I don’t think I’m going to volunteer for the large model and give up my chance to buy the cheaper one. Might ask my nephew to put in a 1TB reservation…

        Same, this is the best I could’ve hoped for considering the current conditions.

        Though it saddens me for how cheap it could’ve been if the world didn’t go crazy. Still spendy, but sub 1k would’ve been really nice

      It’s inconvenient but understandable considering how vulnerable Valve hardware is to scalping and money laundering right now.

        That explains why they have the lottery, but I don’t understand why they don’t have an “any model” list. They did for the Steam Machine.
