omg, you guys, so valve just dropped a new reservation system for the steam controller, and i'm kinda stoked about it. basically, if you're like me and missed out on grabbing one of these fancy controllers before they sold out, now you can reserve a spot in line to get one when they're back in stock.



so, here's the lowdown - the reservation system kicks off today at 10am pacific time (which is 6pm uk time, for those of us across the pond). it's pretty straightforward: you reserve your spot, and when the controllers are restocked, you'll get an email to place your order. no more frantically checking the steam store every hour, only to find they're still sold out. valve's trying to make the process less "incredibly frustrating" for us, and i appreciate that.



now, i know some of you might be thinking, "wait, what about those pesky scalpers who buy up all the stock and resell it on ebay for crazy prices?" well, valve's got that covered too. they're imposing some strict limits on the reservation system to prevent that from happening again. it's about time, if you ask me - it's not cool when people buy up all the stock just to profit from it.

so, when can we expect to actually get our hands on the steam controllers? well, valve's being a bit vague about that. they just say that "replenishment of inventory will vary from region to region," which doesn't give us much to go on. but hey, at least we can reserve our spot now, right? reservations will start being fulfilled next week in the us and canada, and then in the following weeks for the uk, europe, andRead more: Full article on www.eurogamer.net
