Valve is fighting Steam Controller scalpers with a new reservations system

Valve's new Steam Controller sold out quickly when it went on sale on Monday, and the company is going to open a "reservations queue" on Friday at 1PM ET for anyone who missed that initial run. When the controller initially went on sale , many potential buyers experienced difficulties checking out before the controller went out of stock , and some sellers on eBay posted listings for the controllers that were considerably more expensive than Valve's $99 asking price.
