>Steam Machine comes out in less than a month >Still have no idea what the price will be
The price will be pay what you want.
>>728876921$3.50
>>728876921will you take a half eaten kitkat bar?
>>728876793$999
>>728876793>contains 24GB of memoryOne kidney.
>>728877151only if you broke the wafers by their seam.
>>728877204DOA in that case
>>728877294afraid not
>>728876793They're panicking because hardware shortages just caused the cost of production to skyrocket.Even if the original plan was to sell at a slight loss just to get more people on the steam sale hamster wheel, their current profit projections are likely very grim.
>>728876793Considering the RAM prices, $800 or not releasing at all
>>728876793>two prong high voltage plug>no earth>metal enclosureuh that shit don't fly outside the US
it will be $2000 and a commerical failure. They will run it for most of 2026 then dump whatever stock they have left during the summer 2026 sale and forget it ever existed, like their steam machines...
>>728876793>steam machine is just a power supply
Fuck the price I want to know if it can do 4k 120 fps
>>728877415You're a monster.
>>728876793they don't know the price eitherI'm sure they had it calculated before RAM decided to be worth its weight in goldnow they're figuring out what the new price for an acceptable loss is
>>728877447I thought Valve explicitly stated they don't plan to sell at a loss cause they don't see consoles as competitors, so basically this shit was already overpriced at conception without economic shenanigans making it 4x more expensive. This thing is going to flop and it's not because it's a bad idea but just that the stars misaligned to spite Valve.
>>728877681No
>>728877681Obviously not, retardo. Nobody is doing 4K 120fps except flagship GPU owners.
>>728877554True because 1st world houses are grounded at the breakerbox.
>>728877681Yes... for 20 year old games
>>728877681The GPU is a mobile RX 7600, buddy.
>>728877681The human eye can't even see that high, it's a waste of resources.
>>728877069It was then that I realized that this supposed "Valve fan" was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era.
>>728876793I already have a PC that runs linux
>>728877681steamdeck can do it so I would expect the machine to be at least that capable.
you could say its a mystery box
>>728876793it's going to be pushed back anyway.
I want Frame and Controller prices
>>728876793imagine the smell
>>728877681>4k 120 fpsbro like nothing can do that
>>728878632>Bought a new Steam Deck recently>Fan kicks on and warm air starts rushing out of the top vent>Glorious new electronic smell
>>728878559This. I'm ready to begin my foray into the VR world.
>>728876793>Steam Machine comes out in less than a monthI wish that were true. I want the steam frame and controller sooner rather than later
>>728876793It’s six times more powerful than steam deck? Well my steam deck runs games like RE4 remake and Elden Ring pretty damn good. I’d love to have this connected to my tv to officially replace my PS5. As long as I’m minimum getting PS5 level graphics I’m happy.
>>728876793Well it's gonna be like double what they wanted it to be and there isn't much they can do about it. It's a decent idea fucked over by bad times from this retarded AI bubble where 95% of companies aren't getting their money's worth out of it. If Valve waited a few years for CEOs to realize AI is not an infinite productivity and money machine they'd be able to capitalize on a crashed market where Nvidia humbly comes back to selling consumer GPUs as its prime thing. But they didn't.
>>728879336>I’m minimum getting PS5 level graphics
>>728876793If I understand this right this thing is basically just a PS5, but not fucking gay.
>>728876793rumors are $400 but it'll come barebones (gl finding ram and ssd in 2025+1)
>>728876921So a humble bundled console? Will the money be donated to Israel or England?
>>728881189>rumorssource of the rumors: some guy on twitter made it upamazing thanks for sharing that
>>728880545Yeah I’m not snobby or elitist. I would immensely enjoy a steam machine that replaces the current gen consoles.
Me if the gabecube is more than $700
>>728877415You are like little baby.
>>728882602steam cube is as powerful as a ps4 and will cost twice as much as a ps5
They can't sell this piece of junk for more than $500 (which is already expensive). It's just 2 yo laptop apu leftovers slapped on a mb.
Oh and just a few months ago everybody was pissed because some graphic cards had 8GB, but suddenly for the steam box it's ok and the best choice ever...
>>728880980Supposedly yes, it has processing power comparable to a non pro PS5.
>>728883702Its form factor is nice though
>>728883895>processing power of 6 yo hardwareIf it's more than $150, it's going to fail hard.
Steam machine is going to be cancelled (source : my dad is gabe newell).
>>728883810From what I understand from random internet strangers, the US and to an extent, the world economy is betting it all on AI slop being hugely successful and if it's not, we will enter a slump comparable to 2008.
>>728876793Does it really matter? You already know if you're buying it or not
>>728883994How much does a PS5 cost right now anon?
>>728876793>10 $LINK
>>728884148How much does a pc the power of a ps5 costs?
>>728884142Whether or not I purchase one is ENTIRELY dependent on the price. If it's around $500-$600 then I will seriously consider getting one for my living room as a party/VR/streaming console. If it's closer to $1000 then no way, I already have a high end gaming PC.
>>728884214You can't answer a question with a question.
Id say 500 bux
>>728876793It will cost $600-$700.
If it's 600-700 it might save pc gamingif it's 900+ it's fucked
Can it run GTAVI?
>>728884636>600-700 it might save pc gamingYou would really buy a 3 yo apu for 600-700? I'm not talking about a laptop, but just the bare mb+cpu+ram+disk?
>>728884742If we're looking at each component costing 300+ the casual/average market for pc is big dead
>>728876793who cares what price it might have, just buy it
The price is rumored to be 1000 US dollars, no idea what people are smoking in this thread
>>728877554>no earth It’s right below you retard
>400PC gaming is saved and it becomes the platform of reference, console become just niche>500Some valve fanboys will buy it (collectors, people who want to support valve or just use valve>600 or moreIt's over, with the end of the pc gaming market, steam will go bankrupt and be replaced by cloud based streaming service you will be able to stream on 512MB ram and a celeron.
>>728884742Just the 24GB of RAM it comes with costs half that right now.
>>728882602It's less powerfull than a PS5.
It will be 700 plus tip
>>728885593w-What if it winds up being $350?
>>728888032>PS5What's that, some kind of Japanese paperweight?
>>728876793I'm really just more interested in their new VR headset. I hope it's somehow cheaper than the index
>>728877415you're a rebeli like that
>>728876793>>Steam Machine comes out in less than a monthDamn... anyway I want the Steam Frame. Buy it for me shitposters!
>>728876793i thought i saw the appeal but now i don't. if it's basically a more expensive ps5, what's the point? is it just going to sell on novelty alone?i saw a post that said most people on steam have worse thardware than the gabecube, so maybe they'll be able to sell it to retards who don't know any better?it's very strange. especially with ram being fucked for potentially years at this point, what are they trying to do with this product?
>>728881880This is Valve, not Epic, or the Trump administration.
>>728890725I have a quest 2 i just use for porn games. Should I buy the steam frame?
>>728877360it's DOA in literally any case because they're not going to take a loss on that thing (they can't, otherwise faggot corpos will gobble them up to use as business workstations)
>>728876793$800 + tax + tip + delivery fee
>>728877681you tards fell for the obvious bait
>>728876793>non-upgradeable PC that's priced like a PCHas no reason to exist. Blunder of the century.
>>728876793>Steam Machine comes out in less than a monthSource on that, please
>>728876793Is the price of the steam deck going to go up soon because of ram?
>>728876793I don't care what the specs are, I want to see benchmark scores.
>>728876793Who cares? Only retards will buy it
>>728876793It's best to just delay it at this point. They chose the absolute worst moment to release hardware.
>>728876793Honestly, why can't they just sell these things without RAM?Most gamers probably have some old stuff floating around, that they can throw into a build.Or can buy used and cheaper on ebay.
>>728896236because it's not for PC gamers, it's a console for people to get into PC gaming and start buying games from Steam
>>728876921The amount of Jews killed in the holocaust?
>>728896236>Most gamers probably have some old stuff floating around, that they can throw into a build.that's not how it works. modern computers use different ram than old ones.>Or can buy used and cheaper on ebay.hahahaha
>>728896340Better than paying $350—700bux for something decent from an official retailer, just on RAM alone.And honestly, this steam machine is dead if it's 1000bux out the gate.With RAM and now SSDs expected to soar in pricing, they're at least the easiest components to install for newbies.Cut out the cost of those. Market an optional, barebones Gabecube, for those who have extra components floating around, or just want to dip their toes into PCbuilding. Let them feel the joy of plugging in their own legos, and then troubleshooting their proprietary box when it fails to start.It will be great.If it's easy to take apart...
>>728896340NTA. I'm still on DDR4. My brother and I scrapped together parts this year to gift our nephews a PC.We have no problems playing the games we're interest in.
>>728877069Based tree fiddy.
>>728884636HP was just selling a better pc for 600-700
>>728884636Even 600 is pushing it.
>>728877996GET OUT OF HERE YA GOT DAMN GABNESS MONSTAH!
>>728877681are you retarded? nothing can do 4k 120 in 2025
>>728888143I’d buy 2
>>7288937022026 is in a month!
Im betting 800$DoAToo close in price to building an actual pc but they cant afford to sell it any cheaper either.
I'm not optimistic about the price at all. I think we were meant to know the price by now but AI companies buying up the world's supply of ram and SSDs completely caught Valve like deer in the headlights. This is probably getting delayed a year to see where the market is at then.
>>728883562Deck is more powerful than a PS4 already.
>>728898587>Too close in price to building an actual pcnot anymore
>>728876793>NO HEADPHONE JACKForget the price, this garbage is dead on arrival. Even the fucking Mac mini has a headphone jack.
>>728899110HDMI is right there. Any modern monitor has headphone out. TVs don't need it.
>>728899238$0.10 has been deposited into your Steam wallet.
>>728899110as much as I hate it, nobody actually uses the 3.5mm headphone jack anymore. It's all bluetooth or USB now
>>728899515just checked and it was $0.15, another case
>this will be the last consumer videogame machine produced before hardware prices make it untenableAll glory to the everlasting reign of the steam machine in the coming era of Total Ai Sloppification
>>728876793They might delay it due to the insane RAM pricing situation. There's also a widespread sentiment that the AI bubble is gonna pop at any moment in which case memory prices are gonna crash hard.
they leaked the price so it will be around $750
>>728877681Yes*>*480p upscaled to 4k
>>728876793>>728877204Sadly this is probably the realistic take and why valve is hesitant to release the price because it's basically just a PC in cube form running on custom software. And they can't pull of the same tactic like sony/microsoft and eat the cost and regain their money from selling games
>>728893161I can see valve being insanely based and not accepting bulk orders
>>728876793With the fluctuations in prices right now, and the chance that some of their shit could get hit with a new import tax out of nowhere at anytime, they're probably waiting until the last minute to not have to panic and change it risking a loss on the public relations front or risk being forced to eat the cost going up to maintain good customer relations.
>>728902979They won't, it'll the same as Steam Deck, aka one per account until the order completes
>>728899601Don't worry, Valve will make the Deck 2 affordable. PlayStation and Xbox are fucked though.
>>728877615>steam machine is just a power supply>The average lifespan of a psu is 5-10 years>mfw anons will have to replace the entire system in less than a decade
>>728899537kill yourself zoomer you don't count as humans
>>728898987 Exactly. You used to be able to put together a modest little rig for $800, but not anymore. RAM and SSD prices are in clown world thanks to every AI startup hoarding like it’s Y2K all over again. Now you’re lucky if that gets you a used 3060 and enough RAM to run Discord. For better or worse, $750 for a fully assembled, cooled, and pre-configured box with SteamOS doesn’t sound as laughable as it would’ve two years ago.
>>728899110Sega Genesis > Valve GayCube
>>728904035fuck off I'm not a zoomer. that's just how it is, old man. IMO phones should still have removable batteries and headphone jacks, but that's just not how it is.you can still get that stuff though, but unfortunately only from China. Still, I'd rather be spied on by the Chinese who can't do shit to me, than by spied on by the Americans who can
>>728904035If you cared so much about having 3.5mm headphone jack, you'd probably already have a usb desktop DAC and headphone amp.
>>728904032This is unironically a huge fucking downside. I've had my rig for close to 15 years now and have had to replace a faulty psu once; it cost me less than 100 burgerbux. Imagine having to shill out 800+ just because a component reaches its eol.
https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/handheld-gaming-pc/steam-deck-lcd-production-stoppingOh boy...so um, what does this mean for the Steam Deck 2's price and screen in 2028. Real answers not from Snoys please?
>>728877681On indie games with FSR 2.0 on
>>728896312So about a $150,000? Too expensive.
>>728904543By then the Steam Machine 2 will be out and you'll want to upgrade like a good consoomer.
>>728876793You'll buy it anyway.
>>728876793Hard to know the price when the fuckin jews that make the parts keep artificially inflating the prices so that Nvidia gook can be the worlds first trillionaire
>>728904543They already said they'll provide parts, just like they do for Deck
>>728888143Joseph stalin revives and kills the globohomo... but....
