Valve's Steam Controller Now Has A Later Shipping Date

All pre-orders should still be delivered on time, but if you order them from now you won't get your Steam Controller until December.

Sounds like their demand was a bit higher than they expected! Taken from the Steam store page for the Steam Controller:
QuoteEstimated Delivery: December 2nd - December 9th

* The estimated delivery date is for new pre-purchases on Steam. If you have an existing pre-order from before Oct 19th, you will receive your Steam Controller on Nov 10th.


I spoke to "GAME" recently where my pre-order was done through, and they didn't really make me feel very secure about when I would get mine. I'm still hoping mine does arrive on November 10th to give you guys my thoughts on it, but who knows. My order was done months ago, so I do hope GAME pull through for me.

Thanks for letting me know Kallestofeles. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Xbox Elite controller looks a bit crap, to be honest, and the price is ridiculous.

Interesting. I guess after the initial reactions from the early batch demand has increased. I really can't wait to get mine on 10th.

Gonna wait to try my brothers and then I'll purchase 1-4 for me and my waifu. Getting ready for co-op games with full-controller support to do some LANs with my friends - I can't wait!

Still not available to pre-order in Australia, so I'm not following the hype. By the time it makes it here, I'm sure I'll have forgotten about it.

I'm sure it's a fine controller, but who pays $150 for a gamepad? I guess some people do, since there is apparently a market for them, but yikes, I would never spend that much on a gamepad, even if I had disposable income a plenty.

Someone who pays 400 € or more for a gpu? You know you can't be a real gamer unless you have the hardware to prove it. But in all seriousness, who pays 60 € for a game?

Hm. I can hardly imagine they sold too many of those...?

My enthusiasm has cooled somewhat after the first impressions I'd read, but the tinkerer in me can't wait to try and find perfect settings for each and every game I own.

There should be no apostrophe in the title of the article, BTW. It now reads Steam Controller Is Now Have a Later Shipping Date. Whi'ch make's n'o s'ens'e. :-)

An apostrophe+s doesn't always mean "is". It can be for missing letters, showing possession, etc. That said, I'm still not clear myself :D

Edit: Either way, I've edited the title to not make my head hurt about grammar :P

It's old, but after all people are interested in Steam Machines.

This news sorta refutes all the naysayers saying the Valve hardware would never take off.
So a gloating HA! to them.

In related news, I adore my new Steam Controller, and I'm going to marry it.

(My fave config is to reverse the left stick and pad so that movement happens in the pad-now-rollerball and the stick becomes a D-pad. This arrangement allows something very close to the control and precision I get with a K & M. It's already my favorite controller. There's just no going back to the slower response times of traditional game controller's analogue sticks.)

Oh! I'm gushing. Sorry, but I'm in love. :)
