## Resource

Valve finally revealed the Steam Machine price, and reservations are now open. The new SteamOS-powered living room PC starts at $1,049 for the 512GB model, with the 2TB version coming in at $1,349. Bundles with the Steam Controller cost even more. In this video, I break down the Steam Machine preorder/reservation system, the different price points, how Valve is handling the queue, and whether this thing makes sense compared to a PS5, Xbox Series X, PS5 Pro, Steam Deck, or just building your own gaming PC.
