Will this new console change the face of video gaming?

Starting today, you can pre-order the brand new Steam Machine, complete with a Steam controller, Steam Link streamer, and Alienware’s Linux-based gaming PC. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo better watch out. 

If ordered immediately, the Steam Machine will arrive at your door by October 16, almost a month before the console hits stores.

The Steam Link, also 50 dollars, is used to stream games from your existing gaming PC to a TV across the house. 

The last component to the new gaming experience, the Alienware Steam Machine, will be sold for 450 dollars and up. According to Gizmodo, it’s a tiny Linux-based game console that’s way more powerful than a Xbox or PlayStation.

Pre-orders are available for purchase on Steam's website. Make sure to get your hands on this new gaming experience before everyone else does.
