Have you been wanting to play your Steam library on your TV without the hassle of having to connect your computer to the TV?  Well that time is almost here thanks to Steam and their new hardware that is finally available to preorder.

The Steam Machine has been long awaited and looks like it will finally be landing on October 16th if you preorder today. There is a limited quantity available so if you want to get your hands on one of the first units, you might want to head over to their website and put in your order right away.

Steam is offering four different pieces of hardware that you can purchase. The Steam Controller (pictured above) is first up with its unique touchpad input where the directional pad and right thumbstick would be. It will run you $49.99 to pick one of those up.
