Bait thread.
Mossad wants to make you think the human (derogative) is better than the Divine. They are working with the Jesuits to fulfill child sacrifice through catholic priest child rape.
Everything is a Saturn ritural.

Nobody's going to buy it. The dram shortage fucked up prices so much that they're going to have to make it like $1200.

It's a great price! It's not a windows PC. Is a beautiful and super compact living room PC game console with the whole steam library.
It's a great deal.

With the current RAM and SSD prices it will probably be $700-$800 for the cheapest model. I'm pretty sure the original plan was for it to be $550-$650.

>>107821367
What else gives? When will people finally come to terms that it isn't a mainstream product? Also this >>107821530

Because they know it's not competitive for what their product offers.
Just because something really costs as much to make doesn't make the price justified in the eyes of the consumer - see Apple's Vision case.

>>107821367
They got fucked with the RAM price increase.
This thing is dead before it even came out.

When they met up with LTT, LTT said to them they need to price it similarly to consoles, and they all acted shocked.
Valve plans to drop this thing at $900 plus and it will completely fucking flop. They have already stated that they will not use the store to subsidise it, and when you combine its worse than PS5 hardware with the current DRAM situation, I won't be shocked if this thing is $1000+. The Steam Deck filled a niche. This product is entering a saturated market.
They are making exactly the same mistakes they made in 2013, overpriced hardware with questionable software support, hoping to rely on brand loyalty and gimmicks. Valve still hasn't learned that if they want to compete in big boy land against consoles, OEMs/SIs and Microsoft, they need to stop treating their products as experiments and start building something affordable with mass appeal. They managed this with the Steam Deck to some extent, but seem to have now forgotten all the lessons they could have learned from it.
Valve also seem to not understand that the world is in a shadow recession, people don't have as much money to spend on luxuries, and especially not overpriced luxuries with substandard specifications.

TL;DR They are too scared to announce the price, and are scared of the backlash. If this is anything above $649-699, it is D O A.

>byte $745
>bite $745
Customers will bite the hook and buy it for $745.
That will be the price before tax for the lowest specs model if your words are filled with truth.

They know goddamn well no one wants to pay $900 for a box which is why they're shilling it even softer than the other "gamebox" maker from over 20 years ago. The "gamebox" is just a selling point to sell games, to get other developers to join in the development of more hardware and software. To bait the last remnants of console plebs to steam where they have the feeling of security that it's run by a company that isn't globohomo and will actually let you mod shit without self destruct bricking. Oh and at least roleplay that not only do you have a gaming device worth a bucket of piss but it also has games on it too.
