Steam Machines and Steam Controller shipping December 13th

4.6
The first round of 300 beta Steam Machines and controllers ship out on Friday, December 13, Valve announced. Selected beta testers will be notified today around 5PM ET. These anointed ones will find a few games running on SteamOS in their libraries and badges on their Steam profiles marking them as participants.

SteamOS will go live once the hardware ships on Friday, downloadable by individual users and commercial OEMs. Additionally, the in-home streaming beta will begin soon, Valve notes.

Steam Machines are due to ship commercially in 2014. Expect more information about Valve's hardware initiative at CES in January.

whataname Anyone who buys one of these is as bad as a Alienware (dell) user IMO


Well.. keep in mind that it is
1. Still in the beta testing period
2. You have never owned one


Dude Alien Ware are bad, these Steamboxes are made by steam a platform for pc -_-


I agree that Alienware are bellow par and overpriced. As for Steamboxes i think it's too early to come to a decision

I don't know if I can say that about ease-of-use but the hardware might be slightly better.
