Reminder that in a warehouse somewhere in Bellevue there are tens of thousands of new controllers collecting dust because they'll never be sold separately.

>>736993793$700 with free controller.
>>736993924this because I want the VR headset
So I think it should be around $700-$900,That being said I'm not going to buy one because I already have a good PC. But if it was $300, I would buy it. But don't expect it to cost that much, that's just the price I would buy it even though I have a PC already
>>736996025Ditto.
>>736993793$700
LMAO
>>736993793$0It's a 1080p machine and already obsolete before it even came out, it'll only be good for playing indie metroidvanias, roguelites and deck builders. Not my type of games.
>>736996676>European version was more expensive and it didn't even have the ps2 hardware for backwards compatibilityI remember cancelling my preorder when I found about it.
I don’t have a steam library since I have only ever pirated games.

>>736993793I'd pay up to $400.Too bad it's going to be $1000+.
>>736993793$1000
7000 USD (soon to be about 700 Euro)
>>736993793nothing. I have a PC and I have a Steam controller which I never really used, so a steambox would not provide anything new for me
>>736993793I'll just get a used gpu for $50 when I want an upgrade. I guess I might get one of these if I saw it used for that much. I'm a cheapass though, and not at all representative for the average consumer.
>>736993793i just want their head mounted steam deck, don't care about a weak PC in an admittedly very cute case
>>736993793I have a 4090 right now, so it depends on how much faster it is than my current PC.
>>736993793Sinko peso
>>736993793RELEASE IT ALREADY YOU FAT FUCK
800, although I'm only interested in the controller
considering how underpowered it is and complete reliance on frame generation I would say 499 with launch discount 459.
who cares it's not coming out anyway
$800 with the controller.
>>736993793Around 1500 I think is still fair considering its more powerful than a ps5 pro and can do much more than just games2000 would be where I'd start asking questions, but still would boy, any more than that and it'd be silly

>>736993793I bet there'd be people willing to pay 1000$ for it just for the profile theme alone.
>>736993793I'm not buying some shitbox
>>736993793I won't pay for one, because I already have a more powerful PC. I'll maybe get the controller if it's under $80. For others, it can't really justify being more than $700, since it's about the same power level as a base PS5, now $650, which will be 6 years older than it.
$0.00 until it gets an Nvidia GPU and DLSSMiss me with that gay FSR shit
>>737000225>>737000480Just comparing the known specs for each deviceThe PS5 Pro still used the same crap cpu as base PS5 and it's mogged hard by the Machine's more recent ryzen cpuPS5 Pro: 16gb of shared vram>4gb reserved to Sony's OS>another 8gb reserved as system ram>4gb reserved as vramGabecube: 16gb of ram + 8gb of vramNot only the Gabecube has more ram for both its OS and for the system as a whole, it has double the vram of the PS5 Pro
>>737000696PS5 Pro actually has 18GB RAM, with 2GB reserved for the OS. No idea where you're getting the system/vram split from. That's not how any consoles with unified RAM since the 8th gen have worked, it's flexible and up to devs to allocate the rest of it
>>737000873>PS5 Pro actually has 18GB RAMWrong, it's still 16gb of unified memory>with 2GB reserved for the OSWrong, it's actually 3.5-4gb, they allocate more because Sony's OS oftentimes acts funny and causes spikes in ram usage>That's not how any consoles with unified RAM since the 8th gen have worked, it's flexible and up to devs to allocate the rest of itExcept that it is how they work, yes it's flexible as you said, but at the end of the day the system needs 8gb of ram in order to run stable, that means that, of the 12gb that are left to use, 8gb are used as system ram, any less than that and the system would run unstable. That only leave 4gb to be used as vramThe flexibility you say only happens in certain cases, and even then they can push at most a 6gb vram + 6gb ram split, but this is an extreme exception, not the rule, most devs will default to 4gb vram + 8gb ramEver wonder why the PS5 and PS5 Pro have to upscale games from ridiculously low resolutions and even then the result is a blurry stain on the screen running at unstable frame rates? That's your answer right there, there's only so much you can do with 4gb of vram nowadays
>>737001098Wrong, it has the 16GB unified and a separate 2GB for the OS, 18 total, you're making up the 3.5-4GB for "funniness" or it may have been true at some point for the base model but not for the Pro
>>736993793$750
>>736993793>What's the absolute highest you'll payProbably 1k but Id be willing to go up to 1200$ as long as I get the highest tier option/full bundle. I'd also automatically nope out should there ever be the slightest mention of a subscription fee, but I doubt that..for now.
>>736994453Yes it's just a PC but it will do it slowly
>>737001934Project Helix will probably also be around $1,200 and be much much higher spec and more future proofed, and also without a subscription fee
it will be $800 at 1tb with heavy reliance on upscaling which it won't even do that wellcontroller will be goodframe who cares VR is dead
Anything over 500 dollars is a joke, you can get full desktops or laptops with much better specs for just a little more than 500
>>737002092Post them
>>736993793Not buying one, just waiting for the official SteamOS release.
>>737002083They haven't announced a 1TB model. As far as we know, it's either 512GB or 2TB. Bare minimum amount or expensive amount of storage
>>736993793Honestly no shitposting £450-£500
I have no interest in it, I like building my pcsThough I'm really interested in seeing it succeedWhat valve is essentially making here is an official gaming pc and their own version of UbuntuI like its compact nature too, buy one of those portable monitors and you can game pretty much anywhere with a socket and it can also easily survive a car ride without worrying about annihilating the pcie slot or the cpu
>>736993793
>>737002054Hmm..I dont know man, I mean it does sound like a better deal at first glance and I dont want to bring up the argument of 'oh..but I dont like xbox/microsofts new management and what they might decide to do in the near future..' because that can also be applied to Gaben/Steam, plus despite how much more 'user-sided' steam feels in some cases theres no telling how quick that will turn around once Gaben croaks which lets be honest, its not like he has a strong 50+ years left to go.Also Im not so sure how I feel about this whole 'hall effect' joysticks deal, it sounds fantastic not to have to worry about the dreaded stick drift which will at some point wreck you controllers, Im no physicist but my understanding is that magnets lose strength with time, so I have no doubts the no 'drift' controllers must have some degree of planned obsolescence built into them. All that said, Id still probably drop the cash and just continue to consoom only this time Ill do so by using my already existing steam game library Ive been religiously cultivating since 2011.
>>736993793as much as a PS5 Pro
>>736996972>didn't even have the ps2 hardware for backwards compatibilityYes it didt. bought mine on launch in Denmark
>>736993793About $800 but it's way too lateI got a Lenovo Laptop that's stronger than it for the similar price so I no longer need one anymore
>>737000105you sound turboretarded , this fucking thing is made for idiots that can´t put a PC together by themselves.it´s a SCAM just like how ps5pro and whatever assconsole is being released nowadays with barely any games worth playing or they´re over after 6 hours playtime lmao.
What I am going to buy new is the controller and the VR, if it comes in a combo that is objectively profitable, maybe buying all 3 things, since I want a mini PC for the living room, otherwise I would expect to find it second-hand for less than $400
>>736996972Britbong here, i played silent hill 2 on mine so you're talking shit
>>737003905nta but i cant put a PC together and even i know its a piece of shit thats multiple years out of date in specs and will be overpriced
>>736993793$750 with the controller and puck
>>736993793299
>>736993793I want to upgrade and love SFF PCs, but right now I have a i9 9900, 2080 Super, and 32gb (of only 3200mhz unfortunately) RAM, so it would basically be pointless to buy one when I could just upgrade my GPU and get by for far longer
it looked like a decent purchase as a backup machine, but if they're trying to launch it as some brand-taxed item that is purely for plebs who dont already own a PC, then i guess it isnt for me£599 max
299 CAD
>>736993793I already have a PC with a 4060 TI, 5950X, and more RAM than I'll probably ever use because I am eternally superior to you zoomers and built this thing like three months before RAM prices started taking off (got 64 GB DDR4 for like $120) through sheer dumb luck.
>paying money for what is essentially a low end prebuilt "gaming" pc that will already be obsolete when it releases Why the fuck would I ever
>>736993793At 650$ it would be interesting, but I doubt it'd buy it anyway. I want that fucking controller and as far as I know, it doesn't have RAM, so where is it?
$1.2k but i'm pretty sure i'm going with the xbox helix now.
>>736993968>1080p>He doesnt knowOh no...
>>737001098there's no such thing as vram on ps5 dumbass, its just ram and devs use it as need be. its not a fucking pc, there's no allocation between cpu or gpu ram and there's no 'minimum' cpu ram. the only part of your post that's even remotely true is that the os needs around 3.5gb
>>7369937930
$600 is already too much for this thing. If it had fsr4 support and 16gb vram it would be a different story. But this is vaporware they miss their timing for about a year.
800 for the base spec + controllerif there's a bundle with those 2 + the steam frame, i'm willing to go up to 1300 bucks
I don’t understand the appeal of that thing. It’ll fail just like the first steam machines did
the timing is all fucked up on this thing. had it come out in 2023 or before, it actually could've been really cool but instead its roughly ps5 specs when ps6 is on the horizon. hopefully they'll make a steam machine pro in a couple years thats closer to ps6.
>>736996676>An extra $100 burgers for an extra 40 gbsDamn what a steal, you could fit probably three games on that thing.
>>737002083>controller will be goodGod I hope so, I'm still using a DS4 and I'm ready to say fuck off to bluetooth forever.
>>736993793I'm not looking to buy one since I got a PC 3x more powerful for 1000€ before the RAMpocalypse. If I were buying it I would not pay more than 700€.>>737000105>1500 €/$>for an underpowered budget PC>fairAre you fucking retarded? It's not worth 4 digits at all.The GPU in the Steam Machine is an overclocked RX 7600M which is weaker than the budget GPUs like RTX 3060. It's basically as strong as an RTX 3050 which can be found for 170€-200€. If you buy parts yourself you can build a better PC for 800€ tops. You can buy equal or better pre-builts for 850€-1050€.>>737001098>>737005902There's 16GB of GDDR memory and 2GB of DDR memory. The "VRAM" (GDDR) is used by games while the slower RAM is primarily used by the OS and background tasks.>>737006504It won't fail if there's nothing better to buy at whatever it's price ends up being. As long as it's under 800€ it'll do fine here in EU.

>>737010854I think that the target demographic are consoletards who want to jump ship to pc, and also people who vehemently hate Microsoft but are too dumb to use Linux

>>736993793500€ used, going above that we are leaving console territory and I would rather put more money into it and build my own small form factor PC tailored to my needs. There are also RTX 4060/5060 laptops well under 1k
>>737010854for me who I think was the target customer, I had a midpower gaming laptop (I move around a lot) with terrible thermals.

You can buy a better pre built for $900
>>736993793Even if you paid me, I wouldn't use that shit machine. If I want a console, I'll just get a real one for cheap. It works out of the box and I can rent games for free at the library.This shit machine has shit specs and is going to overheat. You will also have to manually tweak game settings for a decent FPS and update their crap OS and Steam itself all the time. You'll also have to authenticate yourself every time since they'll detect "suspicious account activity" from you trying to connect on multiple devices (main PC, shit machine, deck).Also, their shit controller sucks. No wonder they sold the old one for $5 at some point. You can't even use it in games without being logged into Steam. If you have GOG, Origin, R*, Blizzard, Bethesda, etc. games, then you have to manually add them to Steam as non-Steam games, do some tweakings, and pray it works. You can't just turn on your PC and launch a game. You HAVE to log into Steam and even use Big Picture mode.What a fucking load of bullshit. You know you're in the end times when people actually buy crap like this Shit Machine.
I don't give a fuck about the cube. Just gibsmedat controller!
>>736993793I would buy a super barebones one I could use just to play small indie games and watch youtube for like $500 I'd use it basically as a HTPC mostly
>>736993793$0.I already have a gaming PC, and a mini-pc that I can use to stream it over gigabit LAN to the living room (sunshine/moonlight).
>>737003883>>737004028The ones without the PS2 hardware used emulation
>>736993793They should make a "Lite" version which only has 8GB RAM and comes without the SSD and uses a cheap 64GB microSD card instead. Sell it for $500. It'll be good enough for most games.

>>737003710>magnets lose strength with time, so I have no doubts the no 'drift' controllers must have some degree of planned obsolescence built into themThis is not true. Under normal conditions, the NdFeB magnets in hall effect sticks will weaken by just 1% to 3% per decade. Other mechanical parts of the controller will wear out and fail long before the magnets do. If your concern is longevity, there's no reason to choose traditional potentiometer sticks over hall effect ones.
>>736993793$675 I think is my limit. Maybe $750 if it comes with a controller.
>>737014617>cheap 64GB microSD cardNo that really won't be good enough for most games. A cheap microSD card would be 10x to 50x slower than the SSDs which are now standard in both gaming PCs and home consoles. Devs would hate having to deal with that, it would be like going back to mechanical hard drives
>>736993793$649, because even my shitbox ~$1000 PC from 2018 (EIGHT (8) years ago!) can do 1080p60 on vidya optimized for non-rt/non-DLSS cards

>>736993793I got one early but I'm getting this weird malfunction, any help would be appreciated
>>736993793I have no real limit, I reckon I'll just go by my gut feeling when the price is announced.
>>7369937931600. maybe more as long as other people can't have one.
$0.I just don't see the value in it. It won't have anything exclusive, it's just a PC, and given the awful timeframe it's launching it's almost guaranteed to be $750 or more, which means it's going to be the same price as other platforms that DO have exclusives.and exclusives are literally the only thing that matter in deciding a platform.Also if it's using linux like the deck that means pretty much every single popular multiplayer game (that people actually PLAY, so not idle botting in like cs2 or tf2 or dota2) won't work on it.
>>736993793$499I'm more interested in the controllers and SteamOS.
>>737007083I see you in every single one of these threads and I just want you to know that I feel the exact same.
>>737007083i have good news for you
>>736993793$399 + tax + tip (if I feel like)
Don't buy this controller. Nobody is going to buy it, and neither should you.>Xbox layout for face buttons which suck>Playstation layout for the left analgo stick which sucks>trackpads, who fucking uses trackpads, and TWO to boot, which make the controller fucking huge, and to top it all the trackpads are misaligned and at an angle>hd rumble, nobody cares about hd rumble, consumes a lot of battery and is really annoying>Steam(TM) button, fucking ridiculous>gyro which is terrible for everything>shit build quality>made more expensive by useless new analog stick tech>back buttons which only serve to press by mistake when you're holding the controller>some sort of magnet system to charge the controller, so prone to failure>short cord>laggy wireless>horrible battery>terrible build quality>looks ugly as fuck>D-Pad is terrible>manufactured in China/India>0 resale value because nobody wants this piece of shitSo all in all do NOT buy this controller. Especially on release, or any special editions.
>>736993793I already have a SFF PC that's like 3x more powerful than the gabecube will be, so $0. Controller looks cool though, I might cop one if they're a reasonable price.
>>736993793499
>>737024717I just realized the controller doesn't have a dedicated capture button, how does it work on the 'eck? pressing the tree dots one?

>>737024717Sorry anon, I'm buying 100 of them to scalp, you aren't getting one.
>>737026378This is my fear, especially since i'm not from the US and it won't be sold outside of the us for a bit like the 'eck

>>737026220Button combo. You can map the action of screenshooting to any button, but it's a "per-game" basis rather than globallyI'm surprised there isn't a setting for "Short pressing the Steam button takes a screenshot, longpressing opens the menu"
>>737024717>>Steam(TM) button, fucking ridiculousThis makes me think it's a bait post. There's nothing ridiculous about having a button for opening the device interface on top of/outside of the game that's running. That's been a standard thing on nearly every controller for the past 20 years
I’ll pay whatever they want as thanks for helping me feel seen.
>>737003663Literally impossible. You can't even get a machine as powerful as a Gamecube for $50 today.
nothing, because the cube is 100% cancelled and never coming out.

>>737000105It's not more powerful than a ps5 and even if it was it would look as good as a ps5, see theres this thing called optimization which makes ps5 game look almost identical to a 5080 while being 1/5 as powerful
>>737000696>>another 8gb reserved as system ram >>4gb reserved as vram Thats,not how it works on a SOC
>>736993924ThisI have a PC for high-end games and compute, i have a ROG Ally with a dock for low-end games which is 90% of what i play anyway – shmups and retro games and shit.

>>737028245I'm pretty sure it's a global shortcut. It's in the controller settings under I think the guide button chord layout or whatever it's called.
