Steam Machine will start shipping to Australia on the same day as the rest of the world, marking a brave new era for Valve

Valve's new Steam Machine during a visit to Valve HQ in Bellevue, Washington. The Steam Machine is a compact living room gaming PC.

Valve announced a new range of hardware overnight, in the form of the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller.
