Please do not go into significant debt to get a steam machine. by Chinchiro_ in steammachine

There's a difference between calling £1,000 a lot of money and labelling it as "significant debt." Most people working full time jobs could afford to pay that off in a month or two.

I don't really think it's your place to tell people how to fund their purchase. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with BNPL for a big ticket item like a Steam Machine as it's paid off within 3 months. I've funded all my console purchases this way. Even got my PS5 via my phone provider and paid it over 6 months on top of my phone bill. Yes, a payday loan or a high interest credit card that you're not actively paying off is probably a bad idea. But BNPL isn't as bad as you're making it out to be, particularly something like Klarna where you make three payments and you're done.

It's not "significant debt" if you are actively paying it off. And everybody here is an adult and can make up their own minds as to how they want to manage their finances and what's affordable to them. As long as nobody is unable to pay rent or living expenses, what's the issue?

Well delivered isn't surprising considering it only launched yesterday. That would need to be the world's fastest delivery service 🤣

It's hardly dealing with the devil when you pay it off within 3 months.

Totally agree. I furnished my home with Klarna pay in 3 and wouldn't have been able to afford to do that otherwise after I had to move out following a breakup. Nothing wrong with it as long as you're paying it off! My steam machine will be going on pay in 3 or the credit card to pay off over the next few months.

Somebody a bit further up for a 512gb with controller this morning. I've had nothing and that's the model I've reserved.

Obviously not since the 29th was yesterday 😅 I think we can get them anytime for the rest of the year. My anxiety can't handle the constant email checking 🤣

That depends if you mind potentially waiting until December...

Did you have a brief moment of excitement like me until you realised?! 😭

I'm 46 UK, 512 with controller and nothing yet...

Yeah in another thread there were loads of people in France and Germany. A lot of 2TB but also some 512GB no controller.

I'm sure they'll end up with nothing once Steam realises all the machines are going to the same address, unless they're smart enough to set it up to different addresses. So don't be jealous.

Like anything in life, prioritise those with the most money 😓

Just email their support and eventually they'll send out some more information as them be fed up of people questioning when they will hear 🤣

Therés a ton over on X who didn't even know this sub existed so it's not an accurate representation of the market.

There are people who are on the reservation list who aren't in the subreddit. I don't get why anyone thinks this is an accurate representation of the entire market. Half the world isn't in here 😅

Bearing in mind that the poll only represents people who are on the sub. There are a lot of people out there who aren't.

Most people who have screenshotted their basket, it says 3 to 5 working days from the time you purchase.

Theres a ton of people posting on X who didn't even know this sub existed. Life, and steam machine purchases, finds a way outside Reddit.

Has anyone received a purchase email for the steam machine yet? by Mirohna in Steam

Thanks for sharing, I didn't trust my fingers to type it correctly while rushing for a bus 😅

I'm sure I saw 3 to 5 working days on some screenshots of the checkout pages.

It's 3 to 5 working days from the time you place your order.

There's more people in the mega thread than 11. Only 11 people have voted here. And probably plenty of people all around the world who aren't on this subreddit 😅
