        I've been getting my sister in law who has Steam but has never used it and now does not even have a PC to look at it and is going to ask for a Steam Machine for Christmas instead of a PS4 or XBOX One.

          There had been an official one on sale for $300 but they sold out pretty quickly.

            @hubtechagain dude, why not Steam Machine? http://www.sybergaming.com/products/steam-machine.aspx - those ones are sold out already. AFAIR they have $500 option

                Yeah. Another option is Alienware boxes - their price was around half of K

                      Wherever you are got Shadow of Mordor for half the price that it is here. Same with Mirror's Edge. Those are HALF our prices.

                        I got a Just Cause pack for, roguhly, $7 AUD.

                        It has JC 1 & 2 + all the DLC content.
                        ^ this is why I don't usually buy games on release day. You can get all the content for much less, if you can wait. However, this doesn't work for FPS games as nobody plays them after the new version comes out 😞

                          Same here, I happily wait years for my games and because of that I get thirty to one hundred games for every one that people who buy on release day get.

                              AFAIK they are all backordered now anyway. We had one in the first few days and it was supposed to ship that day and it has been delayed for weeks. The one company has completely stopped selling them, they sold so fast.

                                @scottalanmiller I figured as much. I am debating building my own but the pricing for these is really competitive.

                                  Yeah, I was close to getting parts from one of these vendors for my own system and the Steam Machine option was quite a bit cheaper, actually.

                                        I picked up a couple games from these lists that Total Biscuit made:

                                            Mine has been great. It is a bit to get used to and you have to put in effort getting it set up for each game, but it really does work well as a mouse replacement.
