About 3 weeks ago (well past the original reservation period) I decided I might as well put myself on the reservation list for the steam machine (512Gb + controller) and yesterday, I already received my notification that I am able to purchase the damn thing. I expected to wait way longer, at least until next year.
Are turnarounds this short to be expected?

I’ve been on the waitlist for the 512 with controller since shortly after it was announced, and I just got my invitation a few days ago. Now I’m waiting for shipment. I’d guess it’s easier for them to procure the 512s.
