    Thats weird, they could just have easily sold it through the Valve store. I guess they really wanted some ex-poser.

    Are they distributing or just passing the order on to Razer, Amazon-stylee? Either way it's quite a coup for Razer. And those controllers look like they could be quite good (2 sticks).

    wat?

    Well the way I see it is if you don't like the item, then don't buy it. It's not like they are going to stop selling video games.

    @Seedofpower: I'm scared steam might turn into newegg or amazon. selling actual items scares me. except there is no stopping it. Or maybe there is if no one buys it. which is probably gonna happen cause it doesn't look fun. unless people REALLY want that bit trip beat achievement.
