I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn't got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.

Safe to say I'm happy to have it now and be playing games!

Read the room buddy, this is a celebratory thread. We're excited the machines are shipping. This is a happy place. (With some gentle joking out of jealousy.).

You threw a big 'ole damper! OP is happy they got a thing and you respond with "have fun when it breaks!" You're going to get some funny looks when you do that.

While I am not one to shit on peoples excitement and personally I kinda want a steam machine (and especially want the controller), I do also think its fair to say the fediverse absolutely loves to be anti-consumer until its consumerism that appeals to us as a group ๐Ÿ˜…

Still not gonna be antagonistic about people's joy though ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ I kinda want one, I'd be jazzed if mine just showed up too

I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't have at least one area they are enthusiastic enough about to splurge a little in. Still, can we really call it consumerism when Valve releases hardware so infrequently? Seriously. 11 years between controllers? 7 years between VR headsets? 6+ years expected between handhelds?
