Today at around 2:00pm PST (10:00pm GMT), Valve will be notifying the 300 selected beta testers for Steam Machines, Steam Controllers, and SteamOS. The beta participants are very unfortunately limited to the United States because of international regulatory hurdles. Though Valve have made it clear that the decision to limit units to the U.S. will not affect the commercially available Steam Machines forthcoming from other companies, which we will learn more about on January 6th at CES.
Chosen beta participants will also receive a special badge on their Steam Community profile, as well as a number of games that run natively on SteamOS.
SteamOS will also be made available to the public on December 13th when the hardware ships. Though Valve were quick to mention that only experienced Linux users are recommended to try it out at this early stage.
