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.
Way more expensive that most anyone was expecting/hoping. Does it still make sense to you?
Hardware should start shipping around June 29th. Preorders begin today, but are on a lottery system through the 25th
