what the flying drongo cunt..nice that we can buy direct from valve now though... but damn...
can they really just steal the A - B - X - Y placement?
>>737925072Fuck Xbox 'gon do?
I'll wait for it to inevitably flop and pick up one dirt cheap on ebay like with all valve hardware
>>737925008Blame your dogshit economy, cunt.
>>737925072Sure, why not. No one really owns that method of button naming. Hell, the people that arguably used it first didn't make any stink about it
>>737925008you use dollerydoos, not dollars faggot
Get a job
Why do Australians and Canadians always complain about this shit, does the value of currency confuse them?
>>737925008my neetbux will pay for 2 of these, nice.
>>737925339Both Xbox and PS5 controllers are $89 in Australia, so Steam controller is obviously DOA
>>737925339Yes its pretty confusing because 150 CAD is not the same as 100 USD. It is in fact more.
Maybe consider not living in an absolute shit hole country filled with druggies and homosexuals.
>>737925465That's a pretty unpleasant way to describe the US
>>737925740Your people go to jail for posting mean things on the internet and you're only allowed to play the video games that your Daddy gubbamint lets you play.
>>737925831>Your people go to jail for posting mean things on the internetThe US is currently trying to prosecute Comey for saying mean things about Trump, despite the 1A existing, so maybe get your own house in order first before criticizing others
>>737925875Oh, so sorry. I didn't know you were retarded. Sorry about your mental disability, Anon.
>>737925908>no actual argument>confusing the UK with Australia due to geographical illiteracyanother high quality product of the American public school system
>>737925339The value of labour isn't the same everywhere Would you expect to be earning the same amount in a small town and the new york city?
>>737925958I already took my win, Anon. You don't have to keep handing me your Ls.
>>737925008At least you have a chance to buy it direct, over the ditch there's still nothing.
>>737925008This pretty much confirms Steam Frame is going to be around $999 USD/ $1499 AUD then.
just buy the ultimate 2c for $20you retards sound like burger rosties buying $1500 iphones
>>737925465>maybe stop living on planet earth
>>737925201is there a modern controller that has that godlike d-pad?
>HD rumble 2, better than Steam controller (it’s per software basis but Nintendo first party uses HD rumble 2 to its highest effectiveness whereas all Steam games just use standard rumble)>mouse mode >almost certainly better gyro (joycons have some of the best gyro accuracy in the industry)>split into two separate controllers which justifies the price $100 and pretty much objectively better than steam controller in every way. No reason why steam controller can’t be closer to $70-$80. Valve is taking you guys for a ride but since it’s gayben you cuck for him
Joycons are the worst controllers invented by man.

>>737928387Live by the woke die by the woke.
>>737926196>just buy [a worse controller] for [less money]No thanks. You go ahead but I'm not poor and can afford to spend on luxury goods.
>>737925072It's not patented and it's not copyrightable.ABC XYZ = SegaBAYX = NintendoABCD = NeoGeo
>>737926618>HD rumble 2, better than Steam controllerMaybe. Doesn't really matter though. Not enough to make it worth buying anyway.>mouse modeFeels like shit to use and you still need a desk for it.>almost certainly better gyroMaybe, maybe not. It's not out yet.>split into two separate controllers which justifies the price No it doesn't. That's irrelevant unless you're planning to attach them to your shitch.Now, for the bad.>no trackpads>no TMR sticks>no capacitive sticks>no back buttons>no grip sense
>>737925339>does the value of currency confuse them?yes, we are retarded
>>737925875Actually its because he said shit which could be argued for encouraging violence and then an assassination attempt happened.Fine line "You are a disgusting worthless subhuman" is ok. "You are a disgusting worthless subhuman and someone should kill you", is not.>>737928761I hate switch but, 2 controllers means 2 gyro inputs. Still prefer a steam controller, but if you could split them in 2 as well with 2 gyros, itd be even more next level
>>737928686I wonder if it can be trademarked, considering its an iconic feature of a particular brand?
>>737926154I want my fucking frame now, Gabe. "Early 2026" my asshole.I don't want cheap shit Meta goggles, I want the good stuff. Fork it over, Newell. Stop dicking around.
>>737929319If you've been following the Palworld lawsuit at all, you'd know that Nintendo would have already tried to patent it if they thought they could get away with it.
i want to play pragmata on it
>>737929497Dawn of War 4 and the new Homm for me
>>737929319Can't trade mark it.
>>737925339The problem is we aren’t paid more than americans to compensate for the value difference
>>737925958Your flag is still the UK flag you cuck lol
>>737925008You should stop pretending and just become a US State.
>>737925008It’s 17,800 yen in Japan. On a yen based salary, this is the equivalent of $178. Are you fucking kidding me.
>>737925008Lol fuck off gabe
>>737925187its same price in Can and Aus, get canned bitched get canned, meanwhile us "yuropoors" are getting it for $99.
>>737931353>Too stupid to differentiate similar flagsI bet you have a really tough time with Poland and Monaco. Or Liberia, Malaysia and USA.
Thanks and have fun!
>>737926485NSO sega genesis controller
>>737931508Stand up on your own already it's pathetic you keep that flag.
>>737925339>CAD is doing better than the US dollar>prices stay the same>CAD does worse than US dollar>prices go up because muh shipping lines and muh tariffsIt's all fucking made up, as far as I'm concerned. Unregulated, infinite profit has ruined the planet, in most cases literally. This shit is so tiresome. It doesn't actually matter how anything is doing, there will just be excuses made to maintain the most amount of profit, every time.
>>737925072Yeah they stole it from Sega
>>737931568It's conservative boomers keeping the old flag. They love the royal family and Britain and have the mindset of subservient royal subjects. It will change eventually.We were going to become a republic and introduce a new flag, the current government even appointed a minister to supervise it. Then arsonist Trump got into power and set the planet on fire, and now we're reliant on King Charles to talk him off the ledge. So it's a bad time to alienate the royals.
>>737931353>Your flag is still the UK flag you cuck lolImagine being israels bitch with a pedo island leader and calling anyone a cuck.
>>737925339It does, they see big number and go uuwwwoooh expensive! But if I point out that it's actually cheaper for them when I make them show their minimum wage and they can buy it in less time than the amount I make that is more than 2x the minimum wage they still say "b-but big numbah"
>>737931661Trump is based and bombing palestine is a good thing.
>>737931724They get paid like shit.
>>737925008>>737925187>>737925339Steam Cube predictions based on this controller pricing?>USD $499.00>CAN $599.00>EUR $699.00>UK $899.00>AUD $999.00No other countries matter because they don't really exist.
>>737931959You're low balling just so you can say 1k is outrageous.Its more powerful than steam deck, so absolutely more than that.
>>737931818Yeah US salaries are way higher than Australia on average. Minimum wage is higher here but very few people are on minimum wage in either country. The average white collar worker is much wealther in the US.
>>737932004Power isn't everything. The Steamdeck needing to jam a screen and a battery in there jacks up the price of the other components as well.
>>737932027>Yeah US salaries are way higher than Australia on average.LMFAO Australians have way better paying jobs and much higher standards of living than we do. The Steam controller is costs 1-3 hours work for their tradesmen, way less for anyone working in their mining industry, it's about 7-8 hours work for me in Texas and they don't have to work with spics and niggers.
>>737925464Do Canadians and Australians also add vat after purchase like the US or before like Europe?
>>737932523After so its even more than 150 in reality.
>>737932341Tradies and miners are about 15% of the workforce and admittedly they do get paid way better than Americans and have worker protections and unions that Americans don't have (thanks Reagan). But white collar professionals are way better looked after in the US. Australia is more anti-intellectual than the US in some respects, there's a broad disrespect for education and higher learning. Or at least I would have said that prior to Trump getting re-elected. Now you are the kings of anti-intellectualism.
>>737932578>After so its even more than 150 in reality.>AfterNo we don't, the price you see is what we pay, anything else is false advertising and the company would get in serious shit.The joys of having consumer protection and foreskins.
>>737932341>have to work with spics and niggers.Yeah but we have to work with Indians and Chinese.
>>737932523It's before, GST must be included in the sticker price. No checkout "oh whoops it's actually more" moment like the US.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008114401620.htmlgamesir cyclone 2 is $55 aud (40 usd) without the dock and has free shipping
>>737932770Game morning sir
>>737932770it has gyro and TMR joysticks and its wireless. I have the dock and it kinda sucks I just plug it in my phone charger for 20 mins
>>737927743Based, never stop until those fucks release it on the 4th.
>>737932805if gamesaar was paying me id tell them to stop making their controllers look like toys and get rid of the rooster
>>7379327708bitdo is $50 AUD and takes a massive dump on the modern Xbox controller. It even has a rechargable battery. https://www.amazon.com.au/Ultimate-Bluetooth-Controller-Vibration-Joysticks/dp/B0FVX8THW3No reason to spend $150 on a Gabe-produced monstrosity with double trackpads
Cheaper than the Xbox Elite controller.
>>737931959My guess is $700USD before the RAM crisis, $899 or $999 right now, with a price drop whenever things cool off.
>>737932691>Yeah but we have to work with Indians and Chinese.You realise Texas is 30/50 jeets and spics, right? The rest are niggers. Whites are about 15% of the population now and most of us are leaving. Everywhere I visited in Aus was a dream by comparison. Half the people I work with here don't even speak English.
>>737932962instead we have jeets and chinks here everywhere now
>Paying for games that is not really yours
>>737932649"Intellectuals" are worthless parasites. The Australian public sector is riddled with them. They literally produce nothing for the economy. Besides, most white collar jobs are just adult daycare for women.
>>737925008Not even fucking available across the ditch in New Zealand. Fucking valve.Any other kiwis here?
>>737925008that does not look comfy
>>737925339thisI hate anglo dollar countries so fucking muchthey ALWAYS do this>hurr why is it more in my DIFFERENT CURRENCY which has a DIFFERENT VALUE>durr I'm retarded, can't possible convert to a base currency before comparing...
>>737925072>stealFrom who?
>>737927782*except Playstationbut Sonybros only buy the $200 Edge controller anyway.
>>737932962>You realise Texas isI do not. My home state in Aus is 4 times the size of Texas and has 1/10th the population.
>>737933021You're in the wrong thread, we're not talking about Playstation here.
>>737932871https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005470604431.htmlyou can get a crazy deal right now on aliexpress on their ugly ultimate 2c $18 aud (there will also be tax at checkout but its not bad unless you live in america) but you need a payment method you havent used on aliexpress and a new account. I always recommend just buying directly from chinese brands on aliexpress even if the shipping is longer its way cheaper and they always have some nonsense sale even for non new accounts.
>>737933042>They literally produce nothing for the economy.The vast majority of the US GDP is produced by intellectuals, all of tech which a massive portion of Australian superannuation is tied up in was made by intellectuals. This is exactly the braindead attitude that causes intellectuals to flee the country for the US or Europe at the earliest possible opportunity. We only dig shit out of the ground and build poorly insulated houses in this country, no book-readin' people allowed.
>>737933050Didn't you guys get the Steamdeck officially before Aus? We(aus) got the steamdeck dead last compared to you guys or sea, fucking kek
>>737932871>8bitdo is $50 AUD and takes a massive dump on the modern Xbox controller.How's the build quality? I've been extremely happy with my modern xbox controller that I use for PC stuff, i've gotten a solid half a decade out of it with no worries, but it could probably use replacing soon and $50 sure beats the 90-100 they usually want to slug you from a genuine microsoft one.
Can somebody tell me why this controller is more expensive than the rest of the controllers on the market?Asking because my DS5 just got stick drift, and this thing suddenly popped out on the Steam store.
>>737933113No complaints whatsoever, it feels the same level of premium as Microsoft but at half the price. Also no fucking batteries to replace unlike official controllers. It's a rechargeable lithium ion battery the same as the PS5 controller.>>737933101$18 for that is absolutely ridiculous, amazing deal
>>737933113About the same.Gulikit espro > else jbhifi let you test the controllers these days, just go in an have a fondle.
>>737933113>How's the build quality?Very solid IMO.I have the Pro 3, Ultimate 2 and Ulitmate 2c(for Switch) and they're all very solidly build
>>737925339Yes, they also go other countries subreddit to ask why don't they accept their dollars
>>737933050>Not even fucking available across the ditch in New Zealand. Fucking valve.>Any other kiwis here?lmfao doesn't gabe live there now? Or is he just floating on his yacht between auckland/brissy constantly.Saw the fat fuck in brisvegas not long ago, probably considered anorexic by burger standards, but fuck he stands out here.
>>737933113gamesir have better controllers than 8bitdo if you are going for chinesium, 8bitdo is the cheapest option but really good still pretty good>>737933142there still will be a little tax but thats their offical aliexpress storefront. shipping can take like 2 weeks from china though thats the only downside
>>737933217I had a brainfart typing that sentence
>>737933142>>737933165>>737933168Nice i'll give it a crack, might even grab two before the dumbfuck yanks start WW3 and fuck all our shipping.
>>737925187Our economy would be world leading if the entire thing wasn't being deliberately, intentionally funnelled into like 3 pockets instead of back into the country
>>737933132steam controller uses TMR sticks so stick drift should, in theory be less of an issuewhen it comes to price you probably shouldn't be comparing it to standard controllers and instead compare it to the likes of dualsense edge and xbox elite controller
>>737932649Tradies don't have unions.Construction workers doing corporate construction jobs have CFMEU, Tradies doing residential shit have nothing, but get paid big bucks to make up for it. (and usually blow it all on stupid shit like jetskis and meth)
>>737931959EUR will be same as USD. Canada is always pricier than EU.
>>737932825Not planning to. I'll see this through to the end.
>>737925008why would I choose this over an 8bit do
>>737926154That thing's dead if it's 1K.You can get meta glasses for 300 bucks and this thing is on par with the $600 version in terms of specs.You're paying a $400 premium for linux, which someone will probably port to the meta anyway.
>>737925457yeah so i knew that was a fucking lie
>>737934152>$120what the hell is wrong with australia
>>737933142>>737933101>>737933217>>737933251shitjeet not sending their best trollfarmers trying to pretend to be gamers, just like not being white, you'll never be a gamer.
>>737934257>what the hell is wrong with australiaThat's literally the exact same price we pay in the US.The real question is why we're paying so much in the US given economies of scale and our purchasing power.
>>737934152I was going to say that's EB being EB but holyhell, what the fuck?Haven't bought a console or controller in years, this suddenly makes the Steam Controller not look as bad kek
>>737934257comparing the steam deck to a controller with similar features eg. dualsense edge
>>737934464check out your taxes anon, if you get taxed like an aids victim on life support obviously you are going to pay more.
>>737934505comparing the steam controller*
>>737925958He's right though. Couldn't buy Hotline Miami when I was in 'straya.
>>737934464Thanks to trump not understanding how tariffs work Aussies pay less for basically everything now and if they buy direct from china (which they obviously do reading the thread), they pay probably half of what we do, maybe even less whereas we're stuck paying retail prices or fighting niggers during black friday sales.
>>737934152learn to google search faggot
>>737934875>buying from koganhmm no
>>737934726Our classification board are a national disgrace. But he said people get arrested for speech, which is clearly confusing UK for us. Starmer famously arrested people for tweets. There isn't anything like that happening here.
>>737934726>He's right though. Couldn't buy Hotline Miami when I was in 'straya.Why are seppos always so unbelievably full of shit?Do you cunts rinse your mouths out with open sewerage to mask the taste of jew cum and nigger dick or something?
>>737934875yeah man, let me save $10 by buying through dick smith who these days are a glorified dropshipping company
>>737934972It's $20 off, and who cares if its dropshipping, you still get the think for cheaper
>>737934898>Why are seppos always so unbelievably full of shit?It's unironically their culture, you seen Trump speak or tweet kek?
>>737933184>subredditsmaybe it really is time I stopped coming to 4chan, I don't envy the newer generations thinking the current state of the board is as it should be
>>737935015delivery costs must be considered, if the item isn't sold through a physical storefront, anon
>>737925008Could be worse, it's the same price here in leaf rupees but our wages are far lower as well as not having VAT so we're getting raped with an extra 13% on top of that
