The first run of Steam Machines hit the market only a couple weeks ago, offering the Steam OS in a new platform meant to be built and customized for hardcore gamers. However, it would seem that at least one set of machines is catching a hefty discount today.
In the sale that’s marked as “TODAY ONLY”, Syber Gaming is offering the $500 value model of their Steam Machine at $300. The sale is running across all platforms, featuring a $200 savings across each of the three Steam Machines available from the vendor. The sale offers $100 instant savings at checkout and $100 more after a mail-in rebate.
Considering the time of year it is, this may just be a shot at cashing in on the gift-giving spirit of the seasonal holidays, albeit a little early for Black Friday, but it’s odd to see any of the Steam Machines taking any sort of price cut so soon after their debut. It’s just as possible they haven’t sold as well as vendors would have liked. There have been reports like that the SteamOS runs behind Windows OS on performance tests.
Whatever the case, if US or Canadian PC gamers are interested in getting a Steam Machine on discount, today might be your chance.
