I'm not a #Valve or #Steam fanboy by any means, they deserve criticism where it's due, but critique for a fair market price is crazy. Remember, the console makers are selling at a loss and are getting their money back through subscriptions, over-priced games and accessories.

Despite the price, the #SteamMachine will be a raging success and will be sold out for the rest of the year. Performance is not king, user experience is - and #Valve is providing the most playful, open gaming hardware that will attract a crowd of modders and tinkerers to make this something no other console could dream of becoming.
I received my #SteamController and have to say it's my second-favourite #Valve purchase this week.
There has been a lot of chatter about the #steammachine pricing related to #RAM shortages. I still believe that #valve most likely had secured the RAM for their products ahead of the unveiling, so it won't affect price.
