    Guarantee it’s scalpers.

    And people will pay them $1200, $1500 or more. Crazy, eh? I would not expect scalpers to jump on the more expensive one that fast, but they must know something we don’t.

    Let’s try to waste their money and not pay them anything?

      I don’t know if it is scalpers. Didn’t Valve institute a system to prevent scalping requiring older accounts and the accounts having to make a purchase within a certain time frame to be eligible or is that just for the controller and Steam Machine?

        That was specifically stated for the Steam Controller, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they extended it to others.

        Some gamers have really deep pockets, but most of us don’t.
