Everything is ready to ship!
Received a notice on the Steam blog ... and was upset.
The 300 selected participants for the beta test will receive a notification today (at 14:00 Pacific time). Each selected player will also be awarded a special badge in the Steam community profile. The badge will contain information that the player is a member of the SteamOS beta test, Steam Machines and Steam Controller . In addition, several games that support SteamOS will be added to the game library for each selected player.

We had to make a difficult decision, the beta test, due to some obstacles, will take place only in the United States. Initially this was not part of our plans, it also means that we will not be able to get feedback from players all over the world, which is very bad. Considering all the circumstances, we are sure that this was the right decision, since An alternative would be to delay the entire beta test. This solution concerns only 300 prototypes from Valve, commercial versions of Steam Machines , which will be sold in 2014, this restriction will not affect. You will learn more information about all this on January 6 at CES.
SteamOS will be available when the first prototypes are delivered. The download will be available to certain users and commercial organizations. (But even if you are an experienced Linux hacker, we recommend you wait until 2014). We will post new information about this very soon. Oh, and also do not forget about home streaming (in-home streaming), the beta test will begin soon!
Happy holidays and good luck in unpacking devices to our beta testers.
