Thanks, i put sur and it suggested surrey in the next section like you said. The price on confirmation changed from 39.99 to 41, did it do that for you as well?

It cost me £47 in total including shipping

Yea when I saw the total price, I stopped and ordered from the retail store they were saying were taking preorders for early release date (not sure if i'm allowed to say competitors names). Had to buy a bundle which sucked but came to £57 as I had some money off points with a £20 steam wallet card.

Competition is great but it could cause a problem. If they are not compatible with each other that will really fragment the market..

Are they not just interaction devices?
They should just work with any game/program that supports VR.

Looks really good imo. Alas, I won't don't play on my plasma TV because of image retention; it suffers a lot!

£47 for a controller... No thanks will stick to my £10 xbox special

The video makes the controller look pretty cool. But I can't think of any situation where I'd prefer to use it over my Keyboard and Mouse unless of course I gamed at the TV....which is where this product is aimed at....I'll see myself out.

My own grip with the controller is the X Y A B buttons, I though Valve would be better than just copy the Xbox controller buttons.

I imagine that would be because a lot of games are set up with the 360 controller in mind (e.g prompts for the "x" button on a controller) and this would just help the steam controller replace it easier.

Thats because most games have xbox controller support due to microsoft and all.

Doh: beat by Epoch.

Controller looks fantastic, intuitive way to play games with the touchpad!
