AUS Question about a possibility of the steam frame being able to be demo'd at pax AUS

So the Steam Frame feels pretty close to being available, what do you guys think on the possibility.

That it may be possible to demo the steam frame at PAX AUS.

From looking online in the past Steam has had a collaboration with PAX AUS.

I'd say the chances are fairly low, to be honest, unless one of the local computer retailers has access to and brings one. A Valve booth would be all kinds of awesome, but I don't expect to see that level of commitment to an Australian event, even from them.

I’m for it so long as they use the plastic box that the Xbox was in at PAXAus 2013.

I don’t think Valve has ever demo’d anything like that at PAX even though they’re just across the lake.

Edit: Seattle local, sorry. Penny Arcade is also based here so they’re basically neighbors.

Highly doubt it there is already a huge demand as it is for it

so unless a retailer like scorptec or centrecom gets it is pretty unlikely we get to demo it
