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.

Woof Very exciting news! I wonder how much the testers will be able to report on the experience

MS & Sony will be watching closely!

I think they should give them to keep and not to test.

I just don't see a Linux based PC as being something I want in my living room. It's all the disadvantages of a PC with an OS that has little to no gaming software support. Plus, a weird controller. So I guess that's a thing.
