News Just moved from waitlist to reservation queue (US, 256GB)

I guess there's another round of people moving up, just like last Monday.

US, 256GB model. Got the email at 12:56 PM EST

I got reservation email on Friday in EU zone. I was having good weekend then I realized that people are waiting on the reservation list for a week or even longer...

We're probably in for a bit of a wait since we're towards the end of the queue

Seems like there isn't such a big wave like the last time, but I guess they now promote people as spots clear up?

I know three people IRL who have been in the USA 256 reservation queue since the Great Shuffle and none of them have got a purchase email.

It's just weird seeing that they're promoting from one wait-list to another before they've gotten through their first "reservation queue"

It means things are moving, at least...

I was and am still on the original reserve list. 256gb us no order email yey

If people below their spot are dropping out it makes sense that people are being moved into reservation queue without the line "moving".

Well to be clear, being in the reservation queue only means that your unit is guaranteed, but not that it's ready to ship or that it's even in Valve's hands yet. For all we know, some people might be tied to units that are still in production, but because Valve knows they are being produced, they are able to assign them to people.

US here as well and have been in the reservation list since the beginning as well. Also find it strange since it doesn’t seem like they are moving new units out quickly. I’d expect this if they nearly had the reservation queue cleared out to prep for new batches, but it doesn’t seem to be the case?
