Well I live in Asia and the store page for Steam Controller is listed as Coming Soon. But I will have friend who live in US visiting me soon, so is there anyway for me to made and order and have it send to my friend?

He isn't quite the computer type of guy so he doesn't have a steam so asking him to make Steam Account and order one for me seem to be my last resort.

I mean can I change my country to USA or using VPN stuff will I be able to made a purchase and gift the hardware to him? Will it against steam rules or will I get into trouble doing that? Or is there any other option for me?

Question #1: How does this console perform compared to the ps4 and xbox, loading wise and graphics settings wise, stuff like that.

Question #2: Can the machine play any game a normal computer can with the steam OS? Basically any game on steam?

Question #3: Will a pc built with a 500$ budget or the 500$ steam machine perform better.

Question #4: How is the steam machine any different from any other gaming computer? What is the operating system like? Can i connect it to my computer monitor?

Is it actually one of the Machines where you get the most for your money ?

It looks quite promising doesnt it ?

Hi,

My name is Nils.

I created this sub to have general discussion about Steam Hardware.

I bought both a Steam Controller and a Steam Link.

I think i will also buy some kind of Steam Machine.

Here we can discuss e.g. about the best value hardware or about bugs / the current development status of specific steam hardware.

This sub is still work in progress. That means that rules will be made / are going to be changed.

I think we also need a better banner.

If you are able to design one pm me.

Same goes for the flair.

I would say that there should be some Prefixes because there are various kinds of steam hardware:

[Link] for Steam Links

[Controller] for Steam Controllers

[Machine] for Steam Machines

[VR] for Steam VR

As I said, I will still be working on this sub and try to improve the best I can.

If you are able to help / you got good ideas just send me a pm and I will see if I can figure that out.

-Nils
