Valve has made some of the Steam Universe hardware available for pre-order and you can even get them early. This includes the Steam Controller and Steam Link.

They also have a swanky new video advertising the controller:

The Steam Link and Steam Controller will be sent out in October if you pre-order, and the quantity will be limited. I was planning to grab one right away, but due to moving home on Monday I will have to wait and pray there's still a few controllers left to grab early.

Personally, I still think the Steam Controller looks fantastic, and I can't wait to grab one to show off to friends (and write it up here). Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Hmmm, I am registered as from Latvia, and I can pre-order. Some Steam weirdness going on there.

I wish the Steam Machines said what kind of GeForce GPU was in those Alienwares.

Of course my current needs can only make use of the Steam Controller & Steam Link - I would be interested in buying a Steam Machine if I had the extra cash, but I couldn't imagine buying an i3 @ 450 knowing how sub par i3's are - but maybe in comparison to XBONE and PS4 it's equivilent if devs optimize right - hard to say.

That might be speculation, but I hear somewhere those are GTX 860M. Those are equal to GTX 750.

I bought the controller the moment I saw it. I've grown increasingly unwilling to play a game without a controller. I play on the couch and the thought of dragging my keyboard and mouse out and connecting them is usually all it takes to keep me from playing the game.

I've seen enough about how the steam controller works to know that it will absolutely replace a K & M for all but the most demanding PvP shooters ... and even then it might be good enough to at last relegate my K & M to the corner and leave it there.
