Valve has put in a lot of measures to try to contain the levels of scalping of the Steam Machine, from requiring an active Steam account in good standing to a randomized lottery system of registrations to receive the opportunity to pre-order, but no system can be perfect. Emails have been going out for a few days now to those whose registrations have been successful, with the first shipments going out today, but as GamesRadar notes, we’re already seeing pre-orders sold on eBay for hugely inflated prices.
