*** Valve Steam Machine ***

They should have done this in the first place and also going forward for future hardware releases.

Definitely agreed. Anything to stop scalping is good.

Part of me wonders how many post-27th April created accounts vs. existing Steam accounts are doing the scalping/reselling.

 

[Yoko]

Reserved. If I get one and don't get on with it, I will just sell at cost.

 

[omnomnom]

Also reserved. I'll sell it at cost aswell if I don't like it.

 

[pingwing]

Ah that reservation system is cool! Got a place

Have they hinted if the machine is actually happening? My bc250 knock off one is hitting the tv gaming spot (despite the noise) and I'm starting to wonder if the legit one is happening

Il wait for the reviews but looks like a nice controller, just not sure on the price.

Reserved at 6pm. Really like the idea of being able to play from my couch with touchpads.

Anyone know if it will work on a Windows or Linux machine running Steam? Or if it will literally only work on the Steam Deck / Machine?

 

[pingwing]

The trackpads are the killer option, the decks ones work so well!

The site says it'll work with anything that runs steam (Mac, Windows, Linux, tablets, even smart phones)

Status has changed to Packaged items.

Hopefully I be getting it in the next few days.

It works on any device running steam.

Mine has been sat at packaged items for a couple of days now.

I’ve had a tracking number since Thursday but it’s yet to be handed over

 

[Nitefly]

He arrived!

 

[Cromulent]

He arrived!

I'd love a review playing RTS games!

 

[Noxia]

He arrived!

Wouldn’t have believed you if you hadn’t posted a photo of the box.

 

[Yoko]

He arrived!

Please tell me it came in a plain outer box that didn't advertise the contents

Ah not the sort of games I usually play, so probs best to get an opinion from someone else!

@Yoko yes there was an outer brown box with the usual 'battery warnings' on it.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

Mine has been ‘shipped’ although not handed to the courier yet.

I ordered just before they went out of stock originally.

How is it? Have you had any chance to use it yet?

Yup enjoying it. Has a lightweight but slightly grippy plastic shell. All buttons seem fine, haven't really messed around with track pads but they seem OK too. Wireless is good.... no complaints!
