  1. The Steam Machine's price and launch date were revealed today.

    It starts at $1049 with just the box, no controller. Then it goes all the way up to $1428 if you get 2TB of storage + controller.

    Hardware should start shipping around June 29th. Preorders begin today, but are on a lottery system through the 25th
