Common questions on Steam Machine, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Will the Steam Machine be too expensive?

Discussed on Reddit, Steam Tracking found traces of a reservation queue for Valve hardware. Formatting in a few lines implies that the Steam Machine price will exceed 1,000 euros. Converted to USD, that figure becomes an imposing $1,160. Since the site doesn’t mention the product by name, it could also be referring to the Steam Frame. There have been fewer leaks about the upcoming VR headset’s MSRP, but $800-$1,000 is a popular guess. Its maker indicated that it would be less expensive than the discontinued $999 Valve Index kit.
