It's cool, quiet, and powerful. It's also the size of a tissue box*. *Or a bunch of bananas. *A loaf of bread? You get the idea. Learn more about Steam Machine, our powerful lil' gaming PC, in our official video overview and quick-start guide: youtu.be/XPNW3GCIeOM

I was really hoping to see a Frame announcement to know pricing as to whether I can easily pick up one or both; The Machine will be a gift for the fam library, but the Frame I'll be using myself thus not having adequate advance knowledge has made this a bit difficult to plan properly :F

Man, I love Valve as a company, but the Steam Machine is just too pricey at the current moment. I really think Valve should have taken a tiny subsidization and released it at 999 w/o controller and bundled some games with it to justify a high price.

I'm exactly the guy you wanted to buy one. I love everything Valve stands for in gaming. But the cost is too high. My opinion (not that you asked for it): it would have been better to have been delayed until RAM prices were lower and more powerful compobents to get better bang for the buck.

Sorry dawg. I ride pretty hard for Valve, but today's prices are waaay too much for too little, so I assume it's gonna fail and hope prices drop as you revise the components for a relaunch where it can actually compare to a PS5 Pro instead of barely base. Controller still slaps tho

How does Valve reward me? "Waitlist" So I'll wait a year or so to pay even more for the same product? Also eBay is full of scalpers so not sure this system helped anyone who actually wanted to own one of these. Whatever genius thought this was fair needs to rethink customer sentiment.

You guys seriously are gonna continue to hype this up after showing us that we're not the targeted customers for it? Like, you guys should understand none of us who aren't a streamer, a Scalper or just flat out rich in general will be able to purchase this right?
