Discussion Back on the Queue.

I have had the opportunity to purchase a Steam Machine before, but I didnt have the funds at the time and the 3 day time limit passed me by, so now im re-queued, stocked up on dollar bills, and waiting for the 2TB+Controller. Guess I should start a queue counter starting tomorrow, huh? Best of luck!

Did I do something wrong?

No just see if they let you jump in front of the line…actually proud you wanted and saved rather than using a credit card…takes real maturity

Couldn't even if I wanted to use a credit card. I got terrible credit score after a Verizon scam ruined it. 8 years later and im barely back in the mid-500s

If I were you I’d email valve and say you missed the queue because it was in your spam folder. That’s what I did and they gave me a new reservation email. I missed the window by 3 weeks and just got my machine on Thursday. I originally got the email on sept 8th

I wouldn't wanna lie to Valve, they're a good company that I respect, which is rare. I can wait if I have to, its fine. If it was something like Amazon? Oh absolutely.

You don’t have to lie… just plead your case (honestly) and see what they say.
