Okay but what about the controller? I don't care for the cube.
>>730706679
So that one czech seller actually did not have all the data ahead of everyone else?...Likely, even they just got dragged into this.WTF!
>>730706679Just wait for Valve to give out the prices themselves. Surely you can wait a little instead of relying on the retarded game of Twitter """leaker""" telephone?
>>730706679Lol, valve employee gave the palantire stare to LinuxRacemixingTips when he assumed it would cost $499, forget about anything lower than $700(before the ram shortage), Czechs are way closer to reality
>that rumor is false>this rumor is true tho
>600You can get two fistings for that price.
Bad news. Looks like the last leak is wrong. Looks like the steam machine will be replacing knives in the next cs2 case, that's only $2.50 plus tax
>>730706679I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE BOX. MY PC DESTROYS THE SHITCUBE. WHERE IS THE CONTROLLER!? GABE? I NEED THAT CONTROLLER NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!
Valve doesn't have the capability to supply the demand and scalpers will hoard this fucking thing as they did with the Ps5.Then add tax, shipping and handling.Most of these will be used as decoration, find in the backgrounds of many youtubers.
>>730707067that czech website has the steam deck marked up to $950. if they're not just pulling a price out of their ass then the price they have is way marked up
>>730707307>1 per 2FA account with a minimum age + purchase historyit's really not hard
>>730707209Not sure if you are making fun of someone but that is genuinely what I was about to do.My Pc is already great, but I really want that controller.Possibly $300 accounting scalpers.
>>730707363It's honestly fucking funny how badly scalpers were salivating.Them fucking fuming because they couldn't scalp nip decks from JP retailers was fucking funny
>>730706679too hopeful>>730706967I actually expect the price to be similar to thatHowever it should be noted that Valve does not sell via retailers besides Komodo.So that retailer just shoved some random price in the backend.
>>730707353They discontinued the cheapest model, guess what will happen next?
>>730707778silently end the product line after stock is exhausted, and then try again in another decade only to botch it again
>>730707773>So that retailer just shoved some random price in the backend.Which is not even a weird thing to do.Yet, certainly made for some "news".Gives one a good idea what it's worth.>I actually expect the price to be similar to thatYeah, a bit less I guess. Not much though.But, we can just wait and see.
>>730707574I will never be affected as I'm not a retarded consumer, but I can't think of anything more Jewish than scalpers.
>>730706679>tactical niggercope
>>730706724>>730707209>>730707367What's so special about gabecube controller again?
>>730708453Trackpads, four back buttons, TMR sticks
>>730708453>Gyro>Touchpads not in a useless place>Not chink garbage>Back buttons>Good ergonomics>If you give a shit about it and a developer feels like it, it can be tracked by the Steam Frame>Making you make a retarded dismissive post responding to this like that isn't great to have in a gaming peripheral
>>730708607>Gyro??? For real? In every controller?
>>730708607>>If you give a shit about it and a developer feels like it, it can be tracked by the Steam FrameIt took me a little too long to comprehend what this meant.>If you care to use it over the regular VR controls, it can be used with the new Steam VR goggles
>>730708770Yeah, it's pretty nice.I loved it with the original steam controller, and it's nice that there's another controller with it.It was fucking great in ty the tasmanian tiger.If I was moderately less lazy I could even set it up to use a controller as a steering wheel.
>>730708607>>GyroPerfect for Wii emulation
>>730708909I mean it's more, that for whatever arbitrary reason the steam frame can know where the controller is and use this information for a variety of applications.Thinking as an engineer the first thing it could be used for is so you can see where your Steam Controller is IRL while you're wearing your headset.
>>730709015..Oh.As in it actually tracks the controller's physical position.That just makes a lot of sense actually. You oftentimes can see your VR stick controllers in-game as hands/floating controllers/etc., so being able to "see" your controller would be a nice touch.
>>730709158It also works as a regular controller too, but that goes without saying.
>>730707157only 2?
>>730707137this rumor is true because i like it more
>>730706679A $100 price difference between a 512gb and 2tb SKU is literally unimaginable.
>>730706679Tank you mista Dee Batch mon fa da news gyat dem vidya boi
>>730707157You can't tho, a fisting is now $3000 due to inflation.
>>730706679It was never in danger in the first place meanwhile, you should expect another price increase for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S putting their prices around or above even the Steam Machine. Next gen prices should be fun. I can't wait to look at the Steam Deck 2.0's price vs the PS handheld's and first-party in-house Xbox handheld's (yes, it's still in the works) prices.
>>730707363>With priority given to the oldest accounts>Scalpers having to buy accounts at marked up prices just to scalpThe ironing will be delicious.
>>730708607>>Good ergonomicsI don't know about that, it looks chonky as fuck, I don't think you can grip it well.
>>730708770Yeah. Comes with the complementary steel ball.
>>730710086>Probably get priority shipping since I've bought basically every piece of Valve hardware you can pick up and actually used it
>>730706679>proprietary memory card pricing in 2026Why is only Valve able to get away with this?
>>730710231Joking of course, I don't expect special treatment and think it'd be partially gay if that happened.But I wouldn't say no if it did happen.
Cleveland steam boxIts a real piece of shit
>>730708263They've always existed, it's the nature of capitalism but in the internet era, where every retard has figured out how to use automated browsers with GUI instead of coding it's trivial to do it.
>>730709015>>730709158would be really useful if you were to play regular games while being in VR for vtubing maybe
>weaker than a PS5 This thing will be completely obsolete in a couple of years when the next consoles come out.
>>730710790>weaker than a PS5, obsolete in a couple of yearsDifferent markets. Obsolete if you want to play next-gen AAA, but not obsolete in general. You would be able to play indies, older games, or new games with lower requirements.
>>730711019>You would be able to play indies, older games,who is buying a shitbox to play stardew valley lolCOPE steamie
>>730710790Isn't it just about dead on parity with a PS5
>>730711135Ps5 is 399
>>730710790>This thing will be completely obsolete in a couple of years when the next consoles come out.We're going backward not forward. PlayStation and Xbox aren't selling enough to justify making their platforms the consoles/pcs to develop for. Nintendo and Steam won. Switch 2 will be weaker than the PS handheld and PS6, the Steam Machine will be weaker than the next Xbox, the Steam Deck 2 will be weaker than the first party Xbox handheld, but both will win and longer gaming sections and affordable costs while Sony's and Microsoft's hardware will be expensive as shit and less efficient.
>>730710120People said (myself included) that the Deck looked uncomfortable and I found that to not be the case, quite the opposite actually. I'm willing to bet the new controller will feel nice.
>>730706967I haven’t looked into it myself, but I’ve heard that site or others like it mark up steam decks by 30-50%, so it checks out
>>730706679Worth it, but I have no need for one
>>730706679> buys a Steam machine> take ram from inside> sell just the ram> ???????????> PROFIT!!!!
>>730708607Why would you want touchpads at all?
>>730712189The ram chips are probably soldered on the board.
>>730712189it's laptop ram, laptops come with that much ram and don't have unoccupied slots to just add more of the same capacityit's only valuable if they're larger
I want it to be more expensive because I know it's going to sell out in minutes if it's cheap so it makes it more likely for me to get one if it's expensive and I have money to burn. Does that make me a bad person?
>>730708607A thing about the back buttons that's interesting to me is the fact that the steam controller's gonna work through steam input, meaning you can set the back buttons to be practically whatever you want rather than having to bind them to another button already on the controller as on practically every other controller with back buttons, idk, I'm just excited about that
>>730710790It uses different architecture and ends up being more efficient.
The prices for the versions that do not include ram!
>>730707363>only selling steam machines to people who already own games on steamwhy would a person who already owns a gaming pc they play steam games on buy a steam machine?this is clearly meant to be consolebabby's first gaming pc
>700 for the 2 TB model you gonna try to convince me the sun exploded next?
>>730708770No, they only install it in 65% of them and you have to hope you get lucky with it.
will it come with a controller?
>>730712356itll sell out anyways cause theres a million of you
>>730712212Trackpads give you 75% of the cursor precision and speed of a mouse which makes them invaluable for menu navigation among other things. As opposed to just sticks which have loke 1/4th the effective accuracy and speed.
>>730706679who are these people..
>>730710120Yes that's precisely why it has good ergos. The steam deck is a fat ugly slab, but by far the most comfortable handheld to use.
>>730713556He is random twitter user No. 12210514154487. What?? you don't know him?
