Steam Machines will start hitting retail this November

4.7
Valve has set a release date for official Steam Machines, Steam Link and its Steam Controller.


GameStop, EB Games, Micromania, and GAME UK started taking pre-orders today and customers in the US who pre-order an Alienware Steam Machine, Steam Link, or Steam Controller from GameStop or Steam will receive their order on October 16, weeks before the official launch of November 10.

Alienware’s Steam Machines start at $449 and the price goes up per specs selected. The controllers will run you $50/€54 as will Steam Link.

Additionally, CyberPower is now taking pre-orders for its Steam Machine on the official website.

Other manufacturers will be releasing information about their pre-order and launch plans in the coming weeks.

Daam. These look pretty sick but building a PC is a better option.

Alexyy They're a rip off as you could just build your own with better specs and just put steamos on it for free.


True, but on the other hand, these are pretty much game machines. So, you can have your computer to run programs and such while you can have one of these to play games. That's the reason why I'm getting one.

But for those who cannot build it or do not have time to do so will probably buy this instead.


Takes 30mins to a hour to build a system and that alone is fairly easy only excuse is ignorance.


it really is fool proof!

everything is made to fit in the right spot.

Even if I didn't want to build my own PC I wouldn't buy this.

It would probably be cheaper to buy all the parts and hire someone to put it together.
