Steam Machines themselves are still marked to be "coming soon" with no price tags on them.

I wonder if the games currently on sale will have day 1 vulkan support?

No, they won't.

But I already HAVE those games...

Cool, I got Stanley, thanks!

Cool,
Now could be some good timing to buy AAA titles, play them with open source drivers and submit bug reports

Check again, Steam has links to Syber, Zotac and Alienware with prices starting at $450

They promote SteamOS games but last time I checked the controller was coming with two windows only games...

Where should we submit these? My son bought ARK Survival (before the sale...), but it runs slow and crashes on both RadeonSI and Intel. (Using Ubuntu 15.10 and Padoka PPA).

Compare that list and those prices to the PS4's launch list! Steam Machines are definitely having a strong start. Valve just needs to make sure AAA titles keep coming and that will be enough for it to eventually out perform consoles in the market.
