>>737842483how about free ninety nine?
>$999That was the price before the hike, its probably $1200+
>>737843869The issue is poor browns and turdworlders who were expecting it to be $299 like deadbox or pshart4, despite the fact that it was announced as a PC, not a console
>>737842483>$999 ConsoleValve can go fuck themselves
Save us from the AI boom, Luigi, for Sam Altman has committed treason against humanity.
>>737842483Is that all?
>>737842695but you didnt think about how much reddit karma ill get for photographing the main menu of a game with the gabe box in the background did you?fucking retard
>>737842483>$1000 for something that is worse than a Nintendo Switch 2OH NO NO NO NO NO HAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>737843869It's got pretty shitty specs for a gaming PC, no?
>>737843601yeah this poor indie company cant possibly afford to develop the promised episode 3 after the cliffhanger from almost 20 years agothat they retconned in a fucking vr prequel

>>737842483>more expensive than the steam frame....Well looks like I'm only getting a steam frame.I got tired of waiting for a steam machine and just made my old PC a living room PC
>>7378473863-4 years ago it was.In 2007 it was (PS3 was 1000 AUD on release).I cannot believe people even bought a PS3 for that price (not adjusted for inflation, that's 1000AUD in 2007 money).
>>737842483>console costs more than vr machine.industry standard practice.
>>737842695But farnsworth is my face any time someone tells me to upgrade my rigToo lazy, dont care. Probably still gonna buy one if it's only 1000. Specs seem to be worth it anyway.
>>737843869It's not a gaming PC it's an overpriced console. You could build an actual PC for the same price and have better performance.
>>737842684Who are white people?
>>737848709The specs aren't really that worth it for console blast havers which this tries to encapsulate into its market audience. I'd rather buy an under $2k pre-built or something if I were a console pleb looking to upgrade for next gen.
>>737842483I'm 100% sure that it's sharing the price with the controller, the controller is absorbing some of the load
>>737842483An [unknown]% increase over [unknown], it's over, Valve is bankrupt and Gabe is already fleeing from debt collectors at sea.
>>737849728nice shitpost, he basically fucked with the Jewish mafia and won if anything, they are running from him.
their hardware is already outdated by 2026 standard
>>737843601*to fund yacht #7
>>737849380More than 1k is too much, but i firmly believe it would be more than that.Where exactly do see this prebuilt falling short you stupid nigger?
>>737850776Crimson Desert is already chugging big boy numbers for example in resource hogging if that's a metric, expect to require a 40xx/50xx card level power to run the next 5 year gen games on low-mid at 60fps. It certainly can't play Crimson Desert on anything higher than Mid for example.

>>737851935doom posting does not work, you don't have the death-aura of Gaben.
Reminder that the next generation of consoles will also have four digit pricetags.
>>737842695it's more or less a hassle-free UMPC. whether it will gain traction will depend on>ability to play aaa slop (and whether aaa slop will stop demanding 64 gorillion petabytes of ram and vram and a ryzen 9800x3d or better)>thermals and durability>drivers and compatibility (no one likes throwaway locked down crap like, say, kindles)>storage options (aaa slop is bloated to hell and back with 100~300gb filesizes)
>>737842483>$999Yeah BEFORE the price hike maybe
>>737852002>four digit pricetagsif they do that, they're fucking deadconsoles should go back to 7~8th generation graphics with 60 fps as a baseline. video games have long peaked, so there's no point in demanding more elaborate graphics than that
>>737842483>reportedly>may have>muhammad
That is less than I spent on my 5070ti, so if I ever find myself incredibly broke and without a PC, I'll be thankful that thing exists so that I'm not forced onto a playstation or xbox again
>>737852091Counterpoint: Consolefags will shell out for GTA6 enhanced
>>737852006You're a total retard to game on a umpc
>>737852223not really. you've been brainwashed into thinking it's normal to have to swap your graphics card and CPU every few years
>>737842483KWABOTY
>>737842483Add on top the controller which is sold separately
>>737842483If they released this alongside the Steam Controller and bundled in some new Half Life or Portal game literally no one would complain about the price.
I'm still buying 2.
>>737842695I like the tech and can afford it. Suck it cuck.
>>737852373>plays on this.kek.
999 is a pipe dream. Literal crackhead fantasy. It will be 1199$, 1200.
>>737852491You are delusional This should be no more than 599 WITH the controller and exclusive game
>>737852006>UMPCMore like SFFPC
>>737852696seems feasible tbfh.
>>737852832Irony is this PC is five times as powerful as the gabecube
Imagine paying for a weaker PS5 at almost double the price
>>737842695could be good as it would give developers a specific build to shoot for.
>>737852915Imagine paying any money for a PS5 with no games when you could have a PC with 40 years of games and more games than all consoles combined.
>>737852892Can't do 4k 60fps I'm pretty sure its limited to 1080p and 1440p on older games, good enough for most casual gamers if you pair it with a nice 27inch 1080p monitor with high refresh rates. 100% decent but not a widescreen experience.
>>737852987>PC with 40 years of games and more games than all consoles combined.You forgot "for free"
ill stick to my PS5 + Deck thanks
>>737853104just like janitors working.
>>737842695I was going to buy the case on ebay or something then stuff a fleshlight into it and fuck it because I'm a chad /obj/ect fucker.
>>737852987Unless you're a richfag, you won't have any games either once your GPU finally gives out. Most of us are all on borrowed time going into the next generation.
>>737852892> 5 times as powerful as the gabecubeReally? I'm looking to get a new PC, and was looking at the Steam Machine, but if it costs over 1000, i'm looking at other options.
>>737842483The controller is interesting, I feel like this may have to be scrapped. Just focus on the SteamDeck 2, that's what people are truly interested in.
>>737853024>4kmeme resolution. you don't need more than 1440p for gaming
>>737843990this
>>737853190Ha Ha, just think of the Upvotes!!!!
>>737852832don't forget that shit is not mass-produced, which it has plenty of room to be even cheaper
>>737842483step 1: 3rd worlder buys it off steam with their steam bucks made off of steam market selling hats and shitstep 2: they sell it immediately for half the price to turn their steam dollars into local currencystep 3: their village is saved and you have a $100 piece of technology for only $500everyone wins
>>737853220If you are getting it to use as your main PC dont, there are much better prebuilt deals around for a LOT more powerful systems, not as good as black Friday but stillI was able to scoop up a 5060ti 16gb, Ultra 265 with 32gb ram and a 2tb drive for about 900 dollars during black friday myself and it will literally shit on the gabecube and its more expensive
>>737852915They’ll be lucky if this dogshit can play ps4 games
>pc trannies claim it will be $300 because valve will sell it at loss and make up the costs with more steam game sales>the same trannies tell you that the selling point of this shit over consoles is being able to pirate and never spend a cent on a single game >suddenly they act surprised when it's nowhere near $300
>State of these coping snoys LOL
>>737853480Oh it will be able to do that and most ps5 games tooDont try to gaslight how weak the PS4 and PS5 actually are, the PS4 specifically was a 750ti tier of performance
>>737853583No one ever said it was going to be 300 you halfwit moron
redditors marvel at the steam deck running new stuff at 15 fps they will happily lap this box up for 1300 to run 4k games at 15 fps as well
$600 is the best I can do.
>>737853783>>737853583i did specifically but also i said it wasnt gonna be sold at a loss because i fucking built a pc with its specs and it came up to around 300$ with used parts.this was a week before the ram hike i made a video about this shit so i have images on the test build it was literally just a used hp omen and a gtx 1080
>>737842483B-b-b-but /v/ said it was gonna cost 1300$!
JUST BUY IT
>>737842483I wouldn't be shocked if it is $1000 at this point. I bought a prebuilt in November for $1400 and the exact same one is now$2300
>>737842483>muhammad>reportedlyop why did you let that small box rape your ass?
>>737852006>UMPCThat's not what a UMPC is, you retard. The Steamdeck is a UMPC.
>>737842483i will buy one just to dunk on the sony ponies
>>737854770good man
>>737854770buy several steam decks while you're at it, it desperately needs salesthat shit failed so hard with 4 million sales, even playstation's biggest failure, the vita, sold 3 times more than the steam deck
$1000 for something you can't upgrade is insanely stupid. If you spend a little bit more for a PC it will be more immediately powerful and you can upgrade it for cheaper later. Nothing in this thing will be reusable besides an NVME
>>737854940not only that, $1000 for something that is already weaker than shit you can get for the same if not less money
Is it 999? I was speculating be like 1200-1500. It would still be cheaper than some prebuilts
>>737855141we actually don't know the price yet
I just want SteamOS to be out for real and not the nerfed version they released.
>>737855019The current range of consoles are all extremely weak, this thing is better but not better than a PC if you already have a display and peripheries to hook up to it. The price reflects that, I dont what you're sperging out about, it isn't the first small form factor prebuilt PC with its own proprietary parts but it is cheaper than those were even back in 2012. It would be a deal for 999. It won't be though, I have zero faith in anything but the disgraceful sunset of humanity.
>>737842483Shut up, Xbot
>>737855624this piece of shit literally has worse specs than the ps5 slim people paid $450 for 6 years ago
>>737855739its on par with a ps4
>>737855739I don't think you understand hardware or software. Neither the PS5 nor xbox X or nintendy thing can maintain stable 60fps in 4k with games even as old as cyberpunk now, but the gabe cube will.
>>737843869just get a PC?
>launching hardware right when the RAM crisis was hitting hard
Meh, I spent $3,000 on a new PC last year.
>>737842483$1000 for one would be a steal because they arent making you pay for online game and you can use it as an emulation box, there's nothing else that's this small and can run emulators.
>>737842695I already have my own PC that I built, you dingus.The appeal of getting a strong mini-PC is to have something I can take on the go for splitscreen stuff,as a nice little cube/rectangle that I know is already set up and is capable of running the games I had in mind. I also like the idea of mini-PCs more than Laptops because the latter is bogged down a bit more by its portability and are a lot flimsier these days. It's just that Valve failed on the price point when they grimaced at $500, and now they're doing this shit.
>>737856941Valve much like the rest of us have been fucked by the AI industry and have to adjust accordingly. If Valve really wanted to go the console route they could set the price around the ps5 but they're not going to sell 100m+ like the consoles do and therefore, not get significant userbase increase from selling the console at a loss.
>>737857214>Valve much like the rest of usYes goyim a billion dollar corporation with a billionaire multi yacht owner is just like us!Go fuck yourself
>>737842483Still better than a Transbox, Xbox nigger
>>737854937Valve is a privately held company with fewer than 400 employees, and generated nearly $18 billion from steam last year, the deck wasn’t designed to compete directly with other platforms, it’s meant to complement their already lucrative storefront by giving more people an easy way to access it. Sony, on the other hand, is a publicly traded company with tens of thousands of employees, so when a product underperforms, it has a more noticeable impact on their bottom line due to higher overhead. Being publicly traded is one big humiliation ritual.
GABE NOOOOOOO, DON'T RELEASE SUCH AN AMAZING VALUE BUDGET PC NOOOOOOO STOP, MICROSOFT IS SINGLE HANDEDLY KEEPING BILLIONS OF INDIANS ALIVE IT'LL BE A GENOCIDE GABE PLEASE
Where's it saying $999? I ctrl-f'd the article and didn't see anything about that price.
>>737859987Sorry m8, it's what everyone wants!
>>737858669>Yes goyim a billion dollar corporation with a billionaire multi yacht owner is just like us!a good portion of /v/ believes this unironically
>>737860401no one believes gabe is like us financially retard he's just less comically evil>picyou retarded jeet
>>737860820I'm not falling for that red vs blue american politics lesser evil bullshit
>>737860031nowhere, my gamer instinct just says it’ll be $999
>>737860909But where's the quoted pricetag?
>>737860907Except you already have.
>>737842483Lmao you're a fool if you think it's going to be <$1.2k, especially after that disaster of a controller pricing
>>737861084it’s not printed anywhere anon, that’s what I’m saying. it’s an assumption gay retard
>>737861386Oh, so you're a lying faggot.
>>737861139How?
>>737842940Frame me the fuck up, Gabe!It's goddamned May already. Let's see this shit.
>>737842483How do you insert the game disc?
>>737861225>Disaster It's the most premium controller you can get
