Reminder that the only people being negative about the GabeCube are scalpers.
They're trying to get you to not stand in line for it, so that they can hoover up more units with bot accounts.

You saw this with the controller as well. All discourse was negative, but it still sold out in 30 minutes. And then controllers started to show up on ebay.

Do not believe in the negative nancies.

I need to be sold on the frame. I feel like it's not doing it for me. Or I'd like someone to shill it to me. I want to be excited over it.

>>738447106
I'm buying the case and an aftermarket LCD screen so I can give it a face and tribute on it. Maybe I'll stick a rasberry pie in it and have it connect into my main rig with some LLM or some shit so I can flirt with it as well.

If I like the tests when it comes out €500. I might think about it for €600. Controller included of course.

Can’t help with that. I had a day 1 oculus but i didn’t play many sims/racing games back then and there was very few other worthwhile games for it so i sold it. I was really impressed with the tech though, its perfect for seated/cockpit experiences. 10years later theres way more stuff people build or modded and tools to enjoy traditional games with a vr twist. I am very old and work from home so i got all the time i need to check it out again. If you don’t play sims vr is a hard sell due to lack of games imo.

I only really use mine for porn. I've got a Quest 2, and use SteamLink with it and my PC. If there's any lag or input delay, I'm not noticing it.

So far, my only pros are
>I've got HereSphere on Steam, so I could run it natively through the Frame, but all of my porn is streamed from my HDD anyway, so my PC has to be on no matter what.
>Pancake lenses.
Cons
>Passthrough sucks & is monochrome like Quest 2
>Seems like it's made for people to play VR games without a PC

>being sold for a profit in today's market so it'll be $1000 bare minimum, 900 if you're lucky
Gabe would have to suck my dick himself to get me to even consider buying this piece of overpriced shit. I'm genuinely concerned about the IQ of people legitimately wanting to buy this piece of shit over literally any other prebuilt alternative.
>>
>>738447106
$800 for the 2TB model. If it's more than that I'm staying on my toaster.
>>
regardless of everything else
>PCbros disposable income
>cost of production/assembly hence selling it above price
>whatever else
you need to price it at or below its function compared to the competition
not only is it underpowered for 4k or AAA but the Linux version doesn't offer Windows kernel level anti cheat.
yes you can install Windows on it but that's not the point of this box. it's meant to be a console

unless of course you can afford to sit on the product and sell it for X amount of years/months with your price target in mind

let's see what happens. i hope they will turn a profit
whatever amount of box they sell, will be a minus for Microsoft, so that's a good thing
>>
>>738447295
Unironically yes. My 2014 VW still handles like the day I got it.

Mini PCs are nice if you tend to travel and don't want to be restricted to an overpriced laptop to have half-decent performance.
If I didn't already build one myself right before they announced it, I'd be in the market for it.

too expensive to be an emulator machine. no thanks
>>
$550 for the base model. I'll say it again. It doesnt even have FSR4 Support LOL. And they are trying to pass this shit off as a "4K gaming console". Just lol.

To me personally I have a good gaming PC why would I ever need a steam machine. Its for poor people.
>>
>>738453815
How so? Elaborate
>>
>>738454030
Bro the kernel shit doesn't even work when cheaters are motivated. All it does is take away priority from everything else on your system.
Look at Marathon. That was supposed to be this great anticheater game and instead hacks get openly sold on sites like marathoncheats.com
>>
>>738447106
At announcement, $500. Now? $750
>>
>>738456070
Secure Boot, TPM is all one facet of this topic. they still need proper implementation. go and look up Valorant stats, then come back with your barking

a Linux version for anti cheats could be handled by another party altogether. there are so many good options for such an implementation and it won't be tied to any Microsoft obligations to other companies and whatnot

Linux distro anti-cheat will be peak

I don't buy e-waste products

>>738447106
$0 USD.

Even when I see it used at the thrift store or garage sale in a couple months, I will be VEERY hesitant in buying it. Will probably try to haggle down to $10 max, and that's if I'm feeling overly enthusiastic that specific day or else I wouldn't waste my time.

In what regard?

800 ideally but I bet it's going to be more. They're not going to make it that easy even though 800 is expensive, I feel it pretty much.

They should have just released it without storage and RAM included. Treat it for what it is, a NUC

$1200 NZD. But it will never release in my country.

The specs are basically equivalent to a lower-mid level pc from 5 years ago except it can't even be used as a normal pc. I'd pay $450 for the 512GB version at the absolute max.

It's a pc that's had every function but steam removed, so it would need to be significantly less expensive than an actual computer. Because a real pc could do everything this can do and more. If it's equally priced then it's a huge ripoff.
>>
>>738462098
Are you though? Your ram is clocked at 3000mhz but you have a 14th gen CPU, your gpu is worse than mine, you have nobrand SSDs, and a single 2k monitor.
You are lower middle class at best and regardless of your income, you're an idiot who can't figure out how to turn on XMP, or you have nobrand DDR4 RAM and you're phone posting.
Everything is stacked heavily against you, friend.
>>
>>738447295
You asked how much *I* would be willing to pay for it. Which is zero.
I don't mind that it exists, but I already have better.

Steam Machine faces an uphill battle there, since most of us on PC already have better and it's very uncharted territory trying to convert sonyfriends and xbros to PC with a linux box.
>>
>>738463005
DDR5 6000MT/s is 3000MHz.
DDR does 2 transfers per clock tick, so the data rate is 2x the clock rate, it's marketed in MT/s.
>>
>>738447106
~1500 is resonable, to me, for a machine that's a fair amount more powerful than the PS5 pro and also doubles as a fully functional PC
~2000 is a bit on the expensive side, but I'd still call it fair and would buy it
More than that and I don't think it would be appealing to me
>>
>>738447106
£600 with at least one controller included - maybe it will see some use unlike that ps5 that I bought years ago
