It should come as no surprise to us how Valve will be handling the launch of the Steam Frame. Data miner Brad Lynch has already found a reservation in place for when the device finally launches, which looks to follow a similar system to how the Steam Machine's reservation lottery worked, with users being put into a random lottery when they reserve a device.

It appears as though this reservation system may have been added on September 3rd, when Valve revised the listings.

The two SKUs Brad mentions are likely the 256GB and 1TB storage options for the Steam Frame. There are other SKUs listed for the Steam Frame, possibly those that would be bundled with the Steam Controller, as you can connect gamepads to the headset via Bluetooth, and the Steam Controller can connect via a dedicated 2.4GHz band.
