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.

What is the Steam Controller?

According to CNET gaming expert Scott Stein, this may be his "favorite controller, period." He hailed it for its precise haptics, comfortable design and speedy response time and called it an "essential part of the picture" for Steam gamers looking to expand. It's wireless with a USB transmitter that also doubles as a charging pad, and it has an impressive 35-hour battery life. Just note that it's only compatible with devices running Steam, so you can't use it with your PlayStation, Xbox or Switch.
