4500 miles away tax

As if it wasn't made in China like everything else...

Very interesting how they aren't actually showing off any of those ridiculous $1000+ desktop PCs with SteamOS installed - they are only putting out the actual console like Steam Machines. Which I really think they should do. Sub 1k and fits under the TV form factor or you don't get on the page in my book.

Italy has roughly same distance from China...over 4000 miles.

Of course joking about, not sure what is a reason.

Well those console like can still cost a arm and leg.

Just a note at least of USA buyers. I ordered the controller through gamestop which with free shipping was cheaper then steam.
