How much are you willing to pay?
>>1087431500, I don't need it
>>108743156Dude, my parents also said they didn't need the internet back in 2005. they were proven wrong
>>108743161I already have 10 computers running linux
>>108743178yes, but none of them are a gaming console
>>108743150If it comes with 16gb of ram 500gb of storage, $399, if 32gb and 1tb, $499If the gpu has less than 8gb of vram, $299
>>108743217you can buy 5 steam machines with the money of one ps5 by that price. don't be unreasonable
>>108743150nah, I'm not interested in supporting Gabe and his ugly yacht. would rather give money to chinks.
1000 max
I don't wasn't a satanic black cube in my house
>>108743226want*
>>108743222I never said the ps5 was worth it either, I would only be willing to pay more if it didn't have the upgradability of the laptop with none of the portability
depends on its performance
>>108743150No more than $1500 for sure.
>>108743150prebuilt pc with steam branding, I don't need it I build my own computers.
>>108743150I don't need it. I have steam link.
>>108743232You already know the performance. It's a zen 4 laptop cpu with an rdna3 gpu
>>108743150Is valve shooting themselves in the foot if they dont eat a chunk of the costs on this like a normal console manufacturer?If base is over 1k USD then it feels like a big fail
>>108743150about the price of a PS5 desu
>>108743263>over 1kmore like over $500
>>108743258dickhead
I already have a gayming machine, so nothingSure it'd be nice to have something more compact though. I have a 5900x and a 9070xt, I would like to have a smaller cuck case without it melting itself, but that'd imply buying a fucking AM4 miniITX motherboard in the year 2026 and just paying like 200 dollars on a case that didn't have a lot of compromises.And half of these cases are cubes which to me seems pretty fucking retarded. There's a lot more vertical space than horizontal. Make a thin tower, not a thick cube. Now I took a lot of desk space just for your "little" machine. That's retarded. Wall mounting a PC seems a bit complicated and expensive and a dust magnet, and probably not amazing cooling, but that'd be pretty nice for saving space. I know you agree /g/, you don't have to tell me, I know.
>>108743263The problem is the normal console manufacturers trap their buyers in an ecosystem and eventually get everything they lost back plus more, the steam machine inclines you to use steam sure, but it's completely optional given it's a PC, and steam itself is not as profitable as the playstation store for example
>>108743290>The problem is that it's a better productbro
>>108743302I'm not saying it's not I'm saying that's exactly why they can't sell it at a loss
>>108743150
>>108743317>33 what? 300€? or 3000€?
>>108743323nobody in Europa shows "3" like this
>>108743150Nothing, I already have a mini pc running steam, connected to my tv.
>>108743323it's 3 and then a 0, so 30. 30 lakh.
>>108743161>back in 2005
>>108743272It's not feasible anymore with the cost of ram and disk
>>108743150I want it to be babies first PC for games.I want it to be something that Slavs can afford so like 300€~400€This is the baseline people should make games for, and everyone should be aware that it's a low bar a very low bar. But it will make every game playable at 1080p60 so basically 8 GB of Vram, 16 GB of RAM and it shouldn't come with any storage at all buy your own. You probably have an SSD from your OLD PC. Then I want an advanced version for 1000€ that has something like a 9070 XT combined with a 7800X3D this should be for the people that want to "Play all games at 1440p144hz for the next 5 years" But I doubt anyone here will even agree with me let alone Valve. They're not in this to make a mass marking cheap gaming platform they're in it to make a wanna be console with their own openish OS they can sell for a profit.
>>108743364>Then I want an advanced version for 1000€ that has something like a 9070 XT combined with a 7800X3D this should be for the people that want to "Play all games at 1440p144hz for the next 5 years"And I want a cute sex slave under my desk at all times and an entire race to go completely extinct but you gotta temper your expectations a little
>>108743364>I want it to be something that Slavs can afford so like 300€~400€The RAM alone is close to 300€ these days
>>108743150This thing is a console. I know they want us to look at it as a PC, but speaking as a very technical person who has built my own "console mini PC" with Bazzite, I still consider the Gabecube to be a console. General consumers will absolutely treat it as a console no matter what marketing language valve tries to use. With that in mind, it needs to be priced like a console. They need to completely forget any delusion that they can price it like a PC.It's slower and has less storage than a base PS5 from nearly 6 years ago. So as far as I'm concerned, the price of the 512GB SM + controller is capped at the price of a PS5 (digital) + controller.In my territory that's £520 (about $700, includes 20% tax).Any price higher than that is going to look ridiculous, almost insulting. This thing is obsolete the day it launches and can't even run popular zoomer slop like Fortnite, what do you MEAN you're considering a $1k pricetag? If that means the product is non-viable then too bad, not my problem.
>>108743392how is it slower than a ps5 when the cpu is TWICE AS FAST BY A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE
>2024 bought>ryzen mini pc 16 cores 680m graphics bareback>bought 32gb of ram for 60€Feels good man.
>>108743387Well I don't care about today I'm talking about normal times. Sell it without RAM or allow DDR4 RAM versions. >>108743383The 1000€ Version was never going to come out I know that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85cL1HisrNc
>>108743398The CPU is fast and that's probably relevant for a few people who want to play Factorio or City Skylines 2 or something.Almost all games will be bottlenecked by the GPU which is very weak.
>>1087431500, I don't need one and already have a PC. This is more for the average steamie/normalfag who prefers to pick up and play without understanding how anything works.
>>108743433Hahahaplay any game released in 2025 or 2026 on the ps5The cpu is quite simply UNFIT FOR PURPOSE
>>108743150why would i pay for gaming when i already have one with better spec ?
>>108743418Neither is the 300€ version you imagine in your head to be tangible.Valve is not gonna sell a console that you have to immediately disassemble to add the components you want separately.Valve is not gonna sell a mini ITX machine with all the gimmicky shit with DDR4 in 2026 for less than what a ghetto garbage build for "1080p" (FSR) 60fps on the average AAA title released last year would cost, if we just put down 20 dollars for the crappiest "blows up whenever you least expect it" chinese PSU and a garbage makeshift case with fans louder than your sister. At best you'd get a more powerful deck.
>>108743150Like $200 maybe. Why? How much does it cost?
>>108743150I cna get a B250 that'll mog this shit for ~$220 with a PSU and a cooler.
>>108743212which is a good thing.
>>108743392>and can't even run popular zoomer slop like FortniteThere's no way fortnite is that bad.
>>108743150don't need it.got 2 PCs already, both mid range. don't play AAA since most of it is hot garbage.would like to get the VR shit they are selling but thats about it.
>>108743568this. although niggas have been jacking up the prices of these ever since ecelebs got their eyeballs on it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_CxcbS5HI8biggest issue is no encoder but the cpu's strong enough to be fine without it.
>>108743492Doom worked fine on my PS5
>>108743150I don't really need one, it looks like a cool little thing but I've got enough computers, faster ones too.
>>108743921I want the steam frame just so I can have a full X11 desktop session strapped to my face instead of having to carry around a GPD laptop.
>>108743150Should be in the same price range of the ps5 and XSX.
>>108743263>like a normal console manufacturerThey dont do that anymore for some time now. The consoles costs are break even for two gens now.
>>108743939I want a Frame too, but that's just for VR games. Obviously I'm going to use it with my regular PC, not with a Machine.
It's a redundant machine. Only valve cultists would buy it
>>108743150Specs are pretty weak. You can build or buy a second hand machine (am4/ddr4) that is much more powerful for much less. Only worth it for people who want a plug and play solution for their living room.
Although i do not need it, but if i was going to purchase it i would go around between 800 and 900 (I know, quite much considering its power is equal to PS5, a console that released 6 years ago). But also considering the recent ram, ssd and cpu (yes the cpu prices will skyrocket in the next months) increases. I think we would be lucky if we get it between 800 and 900. Although building your own pc (heck even buying a premade one) would give you a better performance for the price, i think the size of this thing is what makes it special (since normal cases are too big that they never leave the room they are in unless if it needs repairs). Considering you can easily move to any room plus take it with you for vacations or trips. Those aspects are not quite for me but if you want a mobile pc that gives good performance for the price and size (and does not want to put a liver for a durable laptop with a decent gpu ) this could be for you. Its so funny how Valve started dominating the market by doing noting major for the past decade, only when they decide to do it they get 2 lawsuits cost billions plus every computer part gets skyrocketed like prime bitcoin. The Chud Princible "Do noting and win."
>>108743290No one cares. It's their problem not mine.Either PC industry figures a business model where they subsidize hardware to users or PC industry is dead.AI set the way - subsidize or die.
>>108743161or were they
$399 because its hardware is already obsolete when paired against this year's AAA titles
>>108744238on top of that, the steam machine's CPU doesn't even meet blender's recommended system requirements. Not only is it too obsolete to run current year games, it's also too obsolete to run current year software
>>108743156Same, I've got my main PC at home, it's already connected to my TV, I've got controllers, I've got a wireless keyboard with touchpad. My old PC is at my parents and I use it when I visit and even that PC is more powerful than the steam machine...
@108744274>Dat filenameb8 or mental retardation? Regardless I won't give you the (you)
>>108743150$400
>>108743150at least 6,000,000 shekels
>>108743150650 for 512gb version, 800 for 2tb. hopefully lower tho>>108743568>>108743996idk mang, considering its form factor and power consumption tho, it is hard to find another system with comparable spec imo
>>108743150i have a steam deck and gaming laptop. I have zero use for this thing.they're targeting console buyers with this.
>>108744412>650 for 512gb version, 800 for 2tb. hopefully lower thoNever going to happen. It will be way more.
>>108743150Depends on how much faster than my 4090 it'll be.
>>108743150About tree fiddy
>>108743156This, I currently have:>pc w/ rtx 5070>steam deck>raspberry pi 5>macbook>iphone pro >ipad>fire tabletThe Steam Controller can turn literally any of these devices into a “Steam Machine.”
>>108743150Right now i would say it's worth about 1000$ usd. But that will change and everybody that buys one for gaming will be disappointed. Its basically obsolete on launch which makes it desirable for people who don't care and just want to put an pc in their living room. It's going to be scalped and the scalpers are going to be disappointed and complain that nobody is buying it for inflated prices.
>>108744956forgot to mention, in eurobucks
>>108743161How exactly is a low power 800 buck budget system going to compete with the five figure workstation I already have?
>>108743150they'd have to pay me, then I'd sell it.
The AI shit really fucked gabe cube in the ass. If they put it out a year ago it could have been sold at great price but there's no way it will be worth paying for in current year. Unless they decided to sell it at a price where they merely break even and bank on people buying games on Steam. But that's extremely unlikely.
>>108743150$0, I've already got a gaming PC running Bazzite hooked up to my TV like a console with my entire steam, gog, epic, luna, ea, and Ubisoft launcher libraries available. I turn on my TV, pick up my controller, and play whatever I want. Why would I buy another machine to do the exact same thing?
>>108745284That may the the euro price... Excluding VAT.
>>108743150I will be shocked if it's under 999 burgerbuxdon't need one so I won't be buying unless it's something impossibly low like 499$, but I hope it provides a much needed shock to the marketvalve's hardware has always been nice, even the OG steamcontroller
>>108743150I'd buy that for a dollar
>>108743150i already have a decent rig, but would like this in the livingroom. 799€ (that's with VAT and everything) is what i'd be willing to pay, but it'll probably be way more expensive
>>108743150No more than $1000
>>108745901Poorfags need no apply here
>>108743150If it costed like $600-$700 I would have definitely considered it as a present for my gamer wife [spoiler]that I don't have.[/spoiler]Personally I'm more interested in the Steam Frame, and I don't know if I'd buy it if it costed more than $1000.
>>108743501Kekked. Allahu Akbar
I'd say they could feasibly sell between $600-750Ideal target price would be between the PS5 and PS5 pro.
>>108745328>sell it at a price where they merely break even and bank on people buying games on Steam. But that's extremely unlikely.They could just package it with a coupon for steam games.Make it $1,200 u.s. with 300 dollars worth of games. The problem is more so that once they manufacture the product they'll need ti actually sell it. I have a feeling that what lever price it is it will sell-out.
>>108746370This isn't a console. The fact that it has "steam" in it's name will make it sell. I have a feeling that these gabe-cunes are going to be few and far between.
I'm tempted, a small very quiet system I can have on a TV is just what I want.Depending on what it costs, I have some spare parts otherwise. But it has some nice QOL features.
>>108743258Holy doa
five hundred american dollar.
>>1087431500, built my own machine since im not retarded, then put Bazzite on it
>>108743150>yidcubeNo thanks.
I already have a gaming laptop and a Steam Deck. The console doesn't fit any niches
>>108743212You can turn it into one by installing some "couch distro" such as CachyOS Handheld, ChimeraOS, Nobara, Bazzite, or Batocera.
>>108747689It's really only for people who value the console-like experience of the Deck but want something more powerful
I wish they would just tell us the price. If the price is right I would gladly sell my gaming PC just to have a small box that fits on my desk instead. I really don't even play games anymore and when I do they're lightweight older games or emulated games. I sometimes go days without playing games on my PC, I play my ally x more on the bus to work than I do games at home.If the price sucks I might try to move all my shit into one of those small form factor cases but it seems like so much effort, I'd also need a new motherboard which will end up being like 1/4th the price of a steam machine. I really just want to pay valve for convenience and aesthetic.
>>108743150400€-class hardware shuld be sold for 400€
>>108743222ps5 has exclusive games, this is basically the GTX 1080 rig that I built in 2016what could I expect to get for my GTX 1080 rig? maybe like 300 bucks at most
>>108743150You valveshills couldn't pay me to use that thing
five hundred american dollars.no one penny more.
>>108743263who knows. it will really be how it compares to the market when it's actually released, because everyone else selling new product at the time of release will have the same issues with ram and storage that valve is having. something fa/g//g/ots like to ignore when they have their schizo meltdowns. sony has already increased the price of the ps5 for example. all new pre-mades at the time will have the same issue.
>>108743150>How much are you willing to pay?I'd love it to be at 400-500. But they said it's priced like a PC, so 700-800, I wouldn't pay more than that. I can't justify that price for a device that would be in the same room as my PC, just connected to the TV with worse specs.I have a consolefag friend and that machine would be perfect for him. And the only usecase I can think off for me is a dedicated piracy machine. Loaded up with ROMs and cracked games, ready to be played on a TV, separate from my main machine.
>>108746260You fucking uncultured swine.
What's the ideal gaming device for me if I hate the Steam Machine, hate Valve, hate Half Life, hate FPS games, hate the Steam Deck, hate Gabe Newell, and hate PC gaming in general?
>>108748497shooting yourself
>>108748506I'm not going to do that.Besides, I'm not giving that asshole of Gabe Newell my money or my time.
>all these retards complaining that it's not powerful enough to replace their battlerstation/workstation or a gaming laptop it's not built for you idiots, you're already valve customersit's built for consoletards and folks who would buy a small media pc to plug into a TVwhether it will be priced competitively enough to actually convert consoletards or not remains to be seen, but it is obviously a move to try and capture some of that market, like the steamdeck
>>108748497PC, controller, GOG installed.
>>108748534I don't want anything from GOG, the Epic Games Store, or PC gaming in general.I want a device that's completely anti-PC gaming in every way.
I already have a mini-ITX PC in a cube case with a 5600x and a 9070xt hooked up to a TV. I will probably get the steam controller though.
>>108743150I would have to see some real world benchmarks first, but if it can play all modern titles and if the hardware is easily upgradable or replaceable then I would be willing to pay $1600 USD.
>>108748559>if the hardware is easily upgradable or replaceableImagine being this naive
>>108748546then buy a fucking nintendo or sony console you idiot
>>108748546Nintendo Switch 2. No emulators available, the only console with true exclusives.
>>108743150nothing have steam bu have always hated it for destroying offline physical media for PCs with it's cancerius steam keys. Dinally got rid of steam entirely by downloading everything onto one drive running each game and then offlining it and imaging it. The only time I spend money on PC games is old titles that install and run on XP and 7 with no internet connection and I enjoy the games of that era more, everything else is on PS1/PS2/XBox 360/PSP/DS/8 Bit also offline.If it needs an internet connection and is based on a cloud portal store logon dlc and authentication its slop end of discussion. Steam destroyed PC gaming. Same cancer as xbox live and subscibe or the playstation digital only store. Horrible shit.
>>108748546>I want a device that's completely anti-PC gaming in every way.PS1/PS2/Xbox360/MisterYou are welcome.
>>108748578>Switch 2More cancer for tards.
>>108748559>I would have to see some real world benchmarks first, but if it can play all modern titles and if the hardware is easily upgradable or replaceable then I would be willing to pay $1600 USD.
>>108743150$400 at most. I wouldn't mind having a little backup machine in case I ever need it, but I'm not paying more than that. I already have a Linux machine with a 9800X3D and a 9070 XT. If I wanted couch gayming I could just turn my current box into a Steam machine.
>>108748616I love PlayStation :D
>>108748633you have to consider the modern market, it has 16GB of ram and either a 512GB ssd or 2TB ssd.a 2tb samsung 990 pro is $600 and 16gb of ram is $260. so just storage and ram you're at $860. that leaves $740 for the cpu, power supply, motherboard, case, cooling, branding, warranty, support, etc etc.
>>108743150i already have a 5600g 5700xt system hooked up to my tv with bazzite. anything it cant run i use moondeck and connect to my 9800x3d 5080 rig. so personally i dont need it but it seems like a cool rig for someone needing a living room pc/console
>>108743150I would've gone at most $700, MAYBE pushing $800, I like the case and was willing to overlook the underpowered specs but there's no way this comes out at an acceptable price anymore. tempering expectations until any announcements and especially reviews but honestly the timing just fucked it super hard
>>108743150199 + 25 for the controller
it has already outdated hardware so $300 for the whole package including controller max
>Well I don't care about today I'm talking about normal times. Sell it without RAM or allow DDR4 RAM versions.You want them to sell a computer without ram and disk? what's the point? you might as well buy a computer. They are not just selling a game, they want to sell a preconfigured system for your living room where you just plug it in and play with a controller
Judging by the specs it's worth less than $200. We're in 2026 Q2. You're selling me e-waste
>>108743150no more than $40,000
>>1087431500 my 2021 PC still performs good
i have a slower cpu (5600X) and a gpu with similar performance (6700XT) so this certainly will be an upgrade given it will be quieter and more efficient
$100I assume you can put any OS on it.
>>108743150$250 at the moment.$400 if there is a lot of fun games that come with it.

>>108743150Kind of like how the Steamdeck is a compelling list of hardware for the price, if this turns out to basically be an ITX build with comparable hardware to what you could source yourself, then it'll be successful. What will I pay for it? Nothing, I like building shit.But it'll be compelling if techless tards I know ask me about wanting a living room PC or something unobtrusive that isn't a Mac Mini or some aliexpress NUCalike.
Not out the ass for mid shit
I just don't really need another computer right now, I already have a 12700k w/ 32gb of ram and a 3060ti sitting in boxes waiting for me to buy storage.

If not those two machines with i7-4790s and 32GB and 2GB DDR5 1030s. Even an old core duo pentium with 8GB and a 750ti 4gb gets more use than the last five years stuff I have.Computers lost their soul at some point in the last decade,, they have no machine spirit any more. Old computers like amgias spectrums and commodore had so much machine spirit they programmed you.
>>108743150By the price Volvo will ask for this, it's better just buy a laptop. It will be more powerful than the Gaben box for sure and it's a laptop.
I'm not looking to buy one. My living room PC is already better.
i don't own a pc or modern gpu, so if the price is right i'll bite. my steam deck serves me pretty well, though
>>108755579>Computers lost their soul at some point in the last decadeidk anon, my Ryzen 5 2600 + RX470 + SB Audigy Rx may look pretty standard/lame for some nerds but I see a lot of sovl in it

>>108743150$0 until Valve adds a working browser in steam big picture. Bonus points for letting you add your own browser as a steam app and opening store/community urls in it.Bonus bonus points for adding hdmi-cec wake signals when you start the steam controller so it can start my TV and audio receiver too. Then I'd pay $1k for one because the market is screaming for a good linux based TV console.

>>108756054Maybe 5 years ago yeah. Now it's $450 for a dell tower and the 3060ti you need to compete with the steam machine is another $200. You'll probably also need to upgrade the psu to get an 8 pin gpu power connector.$700 is probably cheaper than what they'll sell the steam machine for but not by much.

>>108743263Are they? People keep comparing this to a console and it feels like the same retarded discourse that was created around Steam Deck and Switch when Valve wasn't expecting to sell more than a few million and call it a day.
Whats the point when this exists?
>>108743364>This is the baseline people should make games for, and everyone should be aware that it's a low bar a very low bar. But it will make every game playable at 1080p60 so basically 8 GB of Vram, 16 GB of RAM and it shouldn't come with any storage at all buy your own. You probably have an SSD from your OLD PC.>Then I want an advanced version for 1000€ that has something like a 9070 XT combined with a 7800X3D this should be for the people that want to "Play all games at 1440p144hz for the next 5 years"Devs/Pubs would never bother about meeting that thereshold.
>>108743507>Valve is not gonna sell a console that you have to immediately disassemble to add the components you want separately.nta but what if storage was optional and the dock was built in so you just slid your hdd/ssd in?

>>108748559> if the hardware is easily upgradable or replaceable then I would be willing to pay $1600 USD.You mean like a PC?
>>108756662I can understand that as an addition to onboard storageAgain they don't expect customers to be happy doing that process because it still would involve at least some manner of disassembly (some NVMe SSDs get really toasty so they need proper thermal padding) and you're not taking in account the fact that customers would have to install SteamOS themselves for obvious reasons. Which is not difficult mind you, but still more than just turning the damn thing on.
I'm not the target audience.
>>108743150>want to buy a steam controller>out of stock$0
>>108743570No, it really is that bad. Even Fortnite stutters and hitches on PC no matter the hardware because UE5 is a steaming pile of shit.
>>108743150$666.00Duh
>>108743150fat retard actually announced before securing ram. blunder of the fucking decade
>>108743150Nothing. I already have a gaming PC that's more powerful than this piece of shit.I bought the Steam Deck because it can do things my desktop can't. This doesn't.
