This or a PS5 pro?
Neither
>>738658975Gabecube comes with a million games, all free.PS5 pro games cost $70 a plop
>>738658975depends if you want to play games or not
Both.Let the fanboys of either seethe while you play whatever you want.
>>738658975Neither. Get a decent PC and use moonlight with a phone.Never ever use steam.
>>738658975an AYN thor and a chrome book
>>738658975highly depends of what you want or need
>>738658975PS5 Pro can play GTA6
>>738658975>Small, quiet, looks good.>Plays PC, Xbox and Playstation releases.>Online is free, Games are cheap>Emulation up to Switch 1 / Ps4>Mods, Fan Games, Decomps.>Piracy, ADblock, Torrents, Shitposting.>Console like plug n play interface>Office, Work, Programming. PC!>Controller or Mouse&KB or VR>Secure and Private (GNU/Linux)
>>738659423Where should I get my games
>>738658975depends on what you have alreadythe cube is certainly worth it if starting from no computer experience at all and you're not going to be able to build anything comparable in that price range either
>>738661284F*tgirl
>>738659423>Never ever use steam.let me guess, some mental illness associated with plastic?
>>738658975the one that can play GTAVI @4K60
>>738658975i'll take the cube.
>>738661768so neither?
>>738660453>Counter-Strike Online 2What even is this? One of those CS spinoffs for the Asian market?
>>738658975Gabecube all the way, it's not even fairGabecube:>Much better design, blends well with any living room>Literally all the games in the world available to it>Better hardware>Great thermals>Grants you the freedom to use it as you want just like any PC>Because it's a PC, it can be a all in one box if you wish>Company behind it is the only vidya company in the world that cares about its customers almost to an individual level>Best controller in the market, that doesn't become e-waste in three months of use and even if you don't like it, it grants you freedom to use any controller you wish with itPS5 Pro:>Atrocious design, will stick out like a sore thumb in any living room>Your only options of games include "gems" such as the worst racing game in the market, a glorified tech demo, movie games and GaaS slop, there's nothing else on it>Worse hardware>Thermals so crap that some games can cause the console to go into meltdown mode and shut down>Is a walled garden so you use it as Sony wants you to do, zero freedom>Impossible to use for work>Company behind it is one of the most nefarious, evil, anti-consumer companies out there currently, it was also vehemently against Stop Killing Games>Bottom tier trash for a controller, can't hold charge for even 5 hours, very prone to stick drift and terribly unfriendly to repairs, potential e-waste for 90%+ of customers after just three months of use on average
>>738658975Gabe Cube. Also could play emulators
>>738662471yes. for and by Nexon >Counter-Strike Online 2 (CSO2) is a free Counter Strike MMOFPS licensed by Valve Software to Nexon Corporation Limited, released in 2013.MMOFPS btw https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/Counter-Strike_Online_2
>>738658975If you play online or like modding, get the GabeCube.Otherwise PSPRO.
>>738658975Get one of those fuck machines that’s just a dildo on a piston. You might even start having fun again.
Does the PS5pro sound like it's trying to achieve flight under heavy load or was that just a PS4 issue?
bait thread to start console vs pc shit slinging, it's insane how obsessed and mind raped this board is with making bait threads about the steam machine.
>>738658975Well, how many games are on either?
>>738663176one look at the piece of shit heatsink they've put into it to maintain its homosexual design should tell you everything you need to know
>>738660453>multiplayer gameswho cares
>>738658975The Gabecube is just a pc that can’t be upgraded and cost more than a ps5 pro with worse specs than a ps5 pro. I guess if you have a huge steam library and a lot of fomo then you could justify the cube, I would suggest building a Pc instead.
>>738664362>and cost more than a ps5 pro with worse specs than a ps5 pro.tech illiterate alert
>>738662865>Gabecube all the way, it's not even fairnice try> I genuinely don't understand the purpose of this thing. It's too weak to be a AAA machine so that leaves indie slop. But if you want to play indie slop in your living room you can just buy one of those chink mini pc's that will play whatever 2D pixel troon game you want just as well. So what's the point?
>>738664654>It's too weak to be a AAA machine so that leaves indie slopit's objectively not, consoles upscale from 720p, this can too>chink mini pc's that will play whatever 2D pixel troon game you want just as well.they all have gpus that are a fraction as powerfuland yes, valve logo holds value considering it means better support than any pc in existence
Serious question, I always get ignored when I post this but I'm going to keep posting it:Does /v/ genuinely think if they make enough threads I'll sell my platform of choice, get rid of all my games for that platform of choice, move to a new platform, and rebuy all my games on that platform? Does /v/ think with enough demoralization threads around a particular gaming platform they can convert anons to other platforms? And if so, what do the OPs get out of that? Do they own stock in the companies discussed? What is the end game with these arguments.
>>738664540
>>738664919i was referring to the price tag you fucking moronyou can get the cube minus the gpu for $440, the gpu die and vram isn't going to double the fucking costand no, the ps5 pro cpu is fucking zen 2 dogshit, it's not even comparable
>>738664362>>738664919>cost more than a ps5 pro with worse specs than a ps5 proThe amount of people that fall for this misinformation is insane, the ps5 pro is actually quite patheticYes, at first glance the PS5 pro's 16gb of ram seems impressive, but then you remember it's SHARED MEMORY, it's not 16gb of vram, it's 16gb of SHARED MEMORY, this is how it works:Of the 16gb of shared memory...>4gb reserved for the OS, some people claim 2, but it's a myth, the true value is 4>and then another 8gb is usually reserved as system ram, the system needs a good chunk of it to work akin to a regular ram on a PC does, otherwise it runs unstable>only 4gb remain and is reserved as vram for the gamesNow, in some cases, rare cases mind you, some devs can pull a 4+6+6 split instead of a 4+8+4, but you could count on your fingers the amount of times this has happened, all AAA multiplatform titles go for the 4+8+4 split, that means the PS5 Pro functionally has only 4gb of vram, ever wonder why modern games need to be upscaled from stupidly low resolutions on it, shit like 360p->4k, and even then struggle to reach 60fps, usually hovering at the 40s? Yeah, UE5 sucks, but there's only so far you can go with only 4gb of the shared memory reserved as vramNow compare that to the Gabe Cube's 8gb of dedicated vram for it's gpu, it's double what the PS5 Pro functionally has in 99% of cases, the Cube also has a much better CPU, and don't forget it's newer hardware with better architecture.
>>738665270>The amount of people that fall for this misinformation is insane, the ps5 pro is actually quite patheticHonestly, with PSSR2, the shitty Steam Machine specs ain't even gonna come close
>>738665170>>738665270But why not just build a Pc? Your just paying a premium for branding.
>>738664847>it's objectively not, consoles upscale from 720p, this can tooconsoles (playstation) are way more optimized. often times they have visual settings not present with 4-5 preset options on PC. watch any DF game comparison video>you played one 2d sidescrolleryou played every otherwhatever the Steam Machine delivers so can the Deck and you're not stuck at one place. cheaper toolike I said in the other post, it comes down to what you want and expectyou can buy any pre-built and you will be better offnobody cares about CEC. what's the point of that shit anyway. I turn on the shitbox and it turns on the TV too? omg the lifesaver >and yes, valve logo holds value considering it means better support than any pc in existenceremains to be seen and see point above about visual settings
>>738658975Does the steam box let me mod my games and come with steam workshop?Will it accept my x box controller?It doesn't have windows 11, right?
>>738665270>Now compare that to the Gabe Cube's 8gb of dedicated vram for it's gpu, it's double what the PS5 Pro functionally has in 99% of cases, the Cube also has a much better CPU, and don't forget it's newer hardware with better architecture.post your tripcode so i can laugh at you when this shit releaseslet's not forget the ps5 released in 2020
>>738665706>consoles (playstation) are way more optimized.imagine believing this in 2026 lmaodigital foundry themselves shoved linux onto the ps5 and it's the same shit
>>738658975PC
>>738665684those chink mini boxes are literally cheaper than what you can build yourself
>>738665974i knew you were retarded. that's why i specifically wrote visual settings frame pacing is one thing, the other is how it ends up looking, relative to the former. however small the differences end up being Foundry had troubles duplicating PC results with sony's Ratchet title. there was another one too i vividly remember. around 2021 I thinkthis happens almost with every port. first or third partyOP didn't specify usecase. it's disingenuous to claim one over the other the Steam Machine is an emulation box
>>738666235I thought we were talking about the Gabecube
>>738667232and the gabecube is that $440 chinkbox plus the gputhe cost of those chinkbox parts as a custom build is more expensive already
>>738667230>snoy magic exists i swear!!!stop coping, even 1440p render resolution is rare on the snoybox when it comes to aiming for playable frameratesthe snoybox upscales and so will the cube
>>738667338Ok but Op was asking about the Gabebox vs the Ps5pro not about the random Amazon prebuilt mini Pc.
>>738667541and the cube won't be more expensive than the ps5 pro like what that retard was claiming
>>738667616Look at what they charging for the controller alone. You would have to be fucking delusional to think Valve isn’t going to price this at a premium. $899 calling it now!
want gabecube so bad
>>738658975dont get ps5 sony locked me out of PAID ONLINEfor not accepting terms and is harassing me cuz i wont accept itwhich is why they are losing billions
>>738661082i probably will get one but fyi you can buy a 8 core pc and throw in a 6650 xt to get the same pc for half pricedesu you could just get a ryzen 1700 + 1080 if you only play old games
>>738665170ps5 cpu doesnt even beat ryzen first gen lmaoif i overclocked my 1700 to 4 ghz i could have a ps5 pro by switching my 1070 to like a 7700 xt
>>738668086you mean the controller that completely stomps all the first party controllers? that controller?
>>738658975Get a proper PC. Unless you are fucking retarded, but want to play the PC games, get a steam machine.
>>738668528Not in a 6 in by 6 in cube you couldn't
>>738668709Idk I have never tried one, have you?
I feel. like the Gabecube will have a lot of support both from Valve and from enthusiasts online.Might end up as the best way to use Linux ever.
>>738668086Confirmed for never having uses steam input. It's fucking insane how much you can customize this controller.I have a 3x3 region mapped to the left track pad that pops up a UI element in the game with icons for each square and I can feel the bump passing between them like they are physically there due to haptics, and I have the icons activate a command on release
>>738667230I see it better and with more realistic lighting in Linux
>>738668879i-it's in the post...
>>738668879it's absolutely worth the price compared to first party shit that's $30 less at most and doesn't even fucking have hall effect sticks and is intended to connect through fucking bluetooth
>>738669001No I never having uses steam input.
>>738669006i see blur. albeit with higher framesand that excerpt is just one example of many desu, it being a still tooobviously i prefer higher frames (and pacing) but even if they upped the quality setting on PC, they won't be able to fine tune it enough. PC fps will likely tank below the console's, circling back to my initial point
>>738668528I could, yes. But my hardware is stronger than the Steam Machine + I don't have a usecase for it. I just think it's better than the Ps5 or any console.I will recommend the Steam Machine to my retard console friends. I think it's a nice addition to Ps5 gaymers. He can't really use a PC, so the SteamOS console like interface will help him a lot.
>>738669156>No I never having uses steam input.I know people have hyped the controller, but I am saying it is actually underhyped. It's incredible what you can do. You can make it useable in games that have 0 controller support through the ingame overlay UI options by creating regions, macros, triggers, stringing multiple commands together, anything you can think of. It's a very PC game controller
>>738658975That has games by virtue of being a PC. If you're not an idiot you can find a better mini PC for the same price, but given you're even considering a playstation of color 5...
>>738669023Maybe elaborate a bit more, it stomps is a good start but keep going I am genuinely interested.
>>738669523It's nuts, see these posts. It's a combination of the controller hardware being fantastic, with plenty of cool tech like capacitive sensors and gyros, combined with steam input to do literally anything (and people were whining about xinput as they wanted to be stuck in the stone age)>>738669001>>738669523
>>738658975gabecube
>>738664864Answer me cowards, or you’re all raiding discord trannies and jeet engagement farmers until proven otherwise
>>738658975Steam Machine, 100%. Even if it costs moar, heck even if it's weaker. I'd take a low end PC over a C*nsole every day. The only C*nsole that makes sense is the Sw*tch 2.
>>738669965>The only C*nsole that makes sense is the Sw*tch 2It has no games, so there are no consoles that make sense nowadays
>>738662865It's a styleless black box, you stupid nigger. Just build a PC. It would ironically cost you less, and you can upgrade it as you please - as well as extend the storage.
>>738670094It would ironically cost you lessno, it wouldn't, see >>738666235 and >>738665170the mini pc is cheaper
>>738670143Okay, nigger. Believe whatever delusions you please. Eat your fucking McDonald's. Slop's up, big boy! Chow time!
>>738670234>you're delusional for citing reality
>>738670053>It has no games, so there are no consoles that make sense nowadaysFair point ma nigga I only said dis, because da switch 2 is the last console with true exclusives, ya feel me? Like Ape Kong, Mario Kart, upcoming Zelda and moar
>>738658975ps6 will be cheaper than bothwith 2 year sub
>>738658975Grab a prebuilt.
>>738670094Hey I already said: My retard console friends aren't able to build a PC, they can't install an OS. Okay??? Even prebuilt PCs would be too much, because they don't know how to install drivers, troubleshoot, okay??The Steam Machine is perfect for console bros, as addition for easy access to cheap PC (exclusive) games. They would still use their Playstation for most games.
>>738669965you can run linux on consoles
>>738670574>you can run linux on consolesrequires you to have a playstation 5 without 2020 firmware. eeeehh
>>738658975spend $50 more than a ps5, and get 50x the number of games
>>738670678trvke
>>738670442Snoy takes a loss on new hardware so a one year sub to ps++ is good enough
>>738670364You're a moron topkek. NTA
>>738670846>still no argumentchink mini pcs are cheaper than their custom build equivalents and the cube will also be cheaperthis is a fact and you're not willing to disprove it because you can't
VaIvedrones are the applefags of vidya
>>738671205You can't upgrade your yellow fever the way you think you'll be able to, tardnigger. Waste of $500 for something barely $100 cheaper than something more customizable with longevity of hardware. I swear, you dumbfucks are the only reason companies like Epic, Steam, Nintendo, and Rockstar are successful. The sheer gullibility and Disneyland wishful thinking in you is astounding.
>>738671208Yeah you're right I should buy a console instead that means I'm not an applefag right. PS5 owners and Switch 2 owners aren't applefags at all.
>>738671415No, you should buy an actual PC and not some retarded gimmick shit
>>738671443I already have one. I make a ton of money as a mid career chem e. I'm also going to buy a steam machine. It literally doesn't matter for me, maybe it does for (you)
>>738671409yes nigger, i'm sure your bare minimum cpu, psu, motherboard, storage and ram that you have to stoop to to match the cost of the cube are worth upgrading from instead of just starting from scratchno, if you want upgradability you build with it in mind from the get go
>>738671515Like I said, the applefags of gaming
>>738664864No one's suggesting you can't have more than 1 console. Your entire question means nothing. There's no reason you couldn't keep the PS5 to play PS5 exlusives/already owned games and buy/play everything else on the Gabecube.
>>738671620God dammit, you fucking subhuman 40iq monkey. Learn to read, please. You're the one who's spent a whole thread arguing for that kind of technology with those chink devices. I already have a PC that runs twice as well as this steam shitbox waste of time.
>>738671649Uh, successful and get what they want? Truly an incel nuke of ownage that I'll never recover from.
>>738664919>he uses the AI summariesLook at him and laugh
>>738671738you're the one that thinks building a pc will be worth it despite it being more expensive and too shit to use as a base for upgradesyou just such a solipsistic nigger that you don't understand what the machine is for and screech about its very existence
>>738663629only pve is fun nowpvp is rigged based on how compliant you areonly online games i play is osrs and cold warzombies/sandstorm on ps5
>>738661543why she fat though
>>738671649>Like I said, the applefags of gamingHow poor are you? The cost or steam hardware is reasonable, and great for the value. Not like Apple at all
>>738658975Honestly that's a hard decision. Overall I'd rather have the Gabecube. But playing GTA VI with the PS5 Pro feels very tempting. So for you it depends on how much you want to play GTA VI. If you don't care about it at all, then obviously the Gabecube.If you're willing to wait for it to come out on PC, the Gabecube. If you really want to play GTA VI on launch, then the PS5 Pro
>>738658975meta rn is hacked consoles and pre 2020 pcs + a pc handheld and used ps4 ps5 or switch 1id say avoid ps5 cuz of age verifcation buy used or pirate tooi think ima get a steam deck 1 or 2 and the machine if i can afford it
>>738672028>But playing GTA VI with the PS5 Pro feels very tempting.What is tempting about a game upscaled from 360p with fucking FSR1 of all things and running at a capped 30fps?
>>738658975Probably save up and buy a PC.PlayStation really isn't worth it at this point.
>>738663278If you find a PlayStation with old firmware, it will have games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2OsvSc8VeE If the PlayStation 5 firmware is recent, the GabeCube wins.
