It'll cost $1599And you'll buy it, because it's the last PC you'll be allowed to buy.In two years you'll only be allowed to use subscription-based in-cloud ai-generated computer models.This is the future you chose.
How the fuck did I choose it?
>>739965696Cool story, schizo.I'm not giving a penny to that fat jew.
>$100 controller not included
>>739965860It's a PC, you can use any controller you want.
>>739966212>already preemptively defending it
>>739965696Haha these posts are retarded, but I am starting to laugh at how every thread has the cost higher.
>>739965696If it costs more than a gaming pc, why not just get a gaming pc instead?
>you will buy iti'm so tired of your shitty phrase shills
>>739966446>if you're not shitting on it like me, that means you're defending itcope
>>739968708you are the having to cope with a $1600 pricetag + $100 controller tip
steamies will pay scalpers $3k for this
>>739965780You decided not to buy the $5000 GPU and the $1000 stick of DDR5. Now, they're going away.
>this thread againthe price ceilling for this thing is $860otherwise you're arguing valve can't get a better deal with the hardware manufacturers than you
>>739969378Why would it be cheaper than the Deck?
>>739969478because it's not a handheld?
>>739969378Screencapped this to grudgepost it soon.
>>739965696>In two years you'll only be allowed to use subscription-based in-cloud ai-generated computer models.Is this the new "billions will die in 2 years because of the vaxx"?
>>739969614good, you tech illiterate retards deserve a reality check
this is a top post on r/steammachine right now, even the subreddit, a place for fanboys to fanboy has given up
Can't believe the last consumer PC will cost $2000... FUCK YOU GABE
>1500Plus your foreskin (if you're not already a jews slave) plus tip. Gabentroller not included.
>>739969378Overall youre right, but prebuilt is always more expensive, obviously its smaller than a tower so you need the right parts for that, and wasnt there a Steam controller included ? But yea, everything over 1000 is bad and everything over 1200 is retarded so OP should fuck off with his bait thread
>>739965696Nvidia is about to launch their new chip but they really hope it will fail to make you subscribe to GeForce now.
>>739970042They wrote Steam Deck wrong tho.
>>739965696$2500??? Wtf Gabe
I'm betting $1899 and willing to put crypto on it.
Another valvejeet coping thread
I don't know why everyone is freaking out about this. It's just a computer. Okay, it's a cube. Wow. It's still just a computer.And it'll cost what people are willing to pay. I don't know how much of a premium people will actually pay just for "it's smaller and cuter than if I built an equivalently powerful PC myself" but Valve will either set the price according to what will sell, or they will drop the price if sales are lower than expected.And it won't matter, because /v/ will spend the months after release saying "it flopped! it flopped!" even if it's sold out with a year-long wait list, which is what happened with Steam Deck. This board is braindead.
>>739965696I would have bought one of these, if it weren't a fucking black cube. So many goddamn Saturn-worshipping jewshits out there now. Bought a gaming PC off facebook instead for a grand, and it's leagues better.
>>739971701selling out doesn't mean much if they're only selling a thousand units
>>739970180wrong pre-builds for $1500 will net you x2 better than what snoygames or microcuck with their shitbox and they are priced at $900 with no exclusives, there's nothing worth arguing about: consoles are dead, hacks ruined video games, its too easy to hack on mobile, pc and consoles, do hackers get banned? rarely because they are whitelisted botters or something and the games literally play for you.
>>739970180>but prebuilt is always more expensivethis is cutting costs on being purpose built actuallyit's not going to need a power supply with wattage above 250w, the motherboard becomes simplified as it all goes on a single pcb, the case becomes cheaper as it's a simple cuboid
>>739971889"They only sold a thousand units" doesn't mean much if that was literally all of them.If they produce more than they can sell at a profit and end up losing money overall, that would be a flop.
>>739972131Sure, but they sell out and remain sold out for months on end. That is artificial scarcity.
>>739965696This neanderthal has to peddle this whole "oh we're totally only gonna have forced subscriptions for AI cloud datacenters" doomsday rhetoric because he realized he can make more money baiting drooling retards to watch drama on YouTube than doing his job of using all of his super expensive scientific equipment to test fans and cases.So fuck him and fuck (You) too, you'll all be shitting your pants once it turns out that these datacenters will start getting liquidated the moment the bubble pops and everyone has to go back to business as usual anyway.
>>739972164I wouldn't feel confident in throwing around accusations of artificial scarcity when AI/cloud companies have been buying up approximately 100% of the entire manufacturing capacity of the chip industry, but even if Valve is limiting the scope of their hardware manufacturing to give the illusion of hype, that's different from the product being a flop. It's a flop if they somehow spend more than they make (which is still possible with all units sold if they didn't produce and sell enough to earn back what they spent on design and marketing, but if they really are selling everything they produce then they wouldn't just stop producing before breaking even).
>>739966212>It's a PC, you can use any controller you wantJust not the one included with it, because it doesn't exist.
As an enthusiast I sold both of my steam decks.I bought a steam deck first time when it came out, then returned it, then I bought the steam deck OLED when it came out, then sold it for like $800 on ebay recently lol.The performance on these devices are fucking pitiful, they cant even hit 60fps at 800p.The steam machine could've been good at $600, I might have bought it even if it came with no controller, I'd be fine using a third party $50 xbox controller.But if this thing is priced at anywhere over $800 I'm checked out, and I HAVE MONEY.
$5000 for the GameCube? Ughh
>>739973849You're poor and in denial.
Anyone who is considering one of these black boxes is a poorfag by default.Why would you even want one if you had a good pc to begin with? But you want one, you don't have a good PC. You're a poorfag
>>739975231Even on Amazon they have better $1500 pre-builts with zero custom parts.
>>739969378>1x16GBWait what. Is cube in single channel config? That sounds retarded.
>>739975420DDR5 has two channels per slot
>>739969498Why are handhelds more expensive?
>>739975529They come with a battery and screen.
>>739975529they're less silicon efficient and more complex than a pcb in a box
>>739969378Seems about right. Drop to AM4 and get a 9060 instead with the saved money from DDR4 downgrade, and this would be a good entry level PC for 1080p, which seems to be the goal of GabeCube anyway. Though if I'm being completely honest, I don't really understand why anyone looking to get into PC gaming would get a GameCube instead of any of the hundreds of <$1000 prebuilts being sold in any major retailer. It's not like they're going to sell that via retailers so getting your hands on one already requires you to know something about PC gaming.
>>739975420that's just an example of how much 16gb of ddr5 costseven if you had to split them up that pcb would cost pretty much nothing
>>739972131Brother are you retarded. If only a thousand people want to buy your hardware it's shit and a failureAlso all the R&D you spent money on, cost for tooling, and opportunity cost for a manufacturer to commit their line and work force for your product is still there whether you ship 1000 units or a million. A million units has higher operation costs for running longer but every up front cost is a smaller proportion. Learn what economies of scale means. There's no way they'd break even only selling a few thousand after everything they've done.
sad but true

>>739965696>>739971817>last computer you are allowed>it's a black cubeI'm fucking noticing and I'm not buying your gay cube, Gayben.
>>739975496No, you retard faggot, its 2x 32bit channels per DIMM. The external physical connection is still 64bit.
>>739975928If it's sold out and nobody else wants to buy it, that would mean Valve produced precisely the right number, which is highly unlikely.
>>739976039truebetter to froth directly with the other guythe vagina is unnecessary
I’d rather buy the PC/console hybrid that Xbox releases next year. I have a PC and dual boot Linux but I’m over it. Windows just works and I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t
why i shouldnt buy it? i have the money

Buy an ad.
>>739965696I don't care, I already have a PC. Where the fuck is the Steam Frame though? Now that's an exciting piece of hardware. Valve is really taking their fucking time.
>>739973849same, i actually traded mine for a brand new switch 2 that i play way more. and runs some games betterthan the deck did. i still have a homemade linux gaming pc with a steam controller so i dont feel like im missing out
>>739969378Is the price of the deck due to the Screen, then?
>>739980968Nobody in this board even has a PC that can run the Frame let alone buy it
>>739981102Why would you come to a videogame board if you don't have a PC that can play videogames?
>>739965696I already have a PC
>>739981102>has a PC that can run the Frame let alone buy itI would be impressed if my PC made it's own hardware purchases.
>>739968951>you are the having to
>and you'll buy itNo, I'm buying a Retron 3 and some flash carts. I'm moving to /vr/ and turning my back on modern games because it just isn't worth the hassle anymore.
Is this going really going to be weaker than a ps5? Lol
>>739981102its 2160p
>>739965696It wont be.I have insider information on the AI situation. Basically, some of the largest investors are starting to ask why there are still so little returns. Its reaching a breaking point because there are so many AI companies and yet only a small handful even show promise as making any real long term money (basically all of the larger players like google who can implement AI with existing infrastructure to provide real value).All of the hundreds of smaller players investing in data centres knew that AI would take time to profit, but even with the big players making strides in the tech, its not showing enough promise to actually be worth the investment for them. Small players are currently bleeding money and its not showing signs of stopping.In around 1 year, it will only be a couple of big players left, and at that point prices will still be higher, but the demand will taper off dramatically and manufacturing companies will look to the consumer market again
>>739965696I already have a computer that's stronger and cheaper than this, why the fuck would I buy it?
Some pile of shit Acer is going to end up selling for $800 with better specs than the Steam Machine
>>739981102The Frame isn't even stronger than the Meta Quest 3. You're paying to be decoupled from the Meta ecosystem.
Why would I buy it
>>739981401>Retron 3>flash cartsYou didn't beat the game.
>>739981401what's the point of this
>>739982139I'll beat my dick and nut on your forehead>>739982527To escape the hell that is modern gaming
>>739982735You don't need a fancy plastic box for that
>>739965860Why would it not? They made a point to say that it has a receiver for Steam controllers fucking built in
>>739965860You can use literally any controller, this isn't some shitty locked down console.
Post yfw you already gave a steam deck and are going to ride out the next five years of pc building drought
>>739975873Few reasons:1. Form factor 2. Lazy peeps want heckin console experience (steam os) pre installed3. Valve drones just buy valve anything
>>739985137Ok who did you give it to?

>>739965696>And you'll buy itNo.
>>739969378>Not factoring in manufacturing, storage and shipping
>>739986778Gaming by default is a PC thing. Consoles are just locked down computers sold to slave retards.

>>739966212I want my 1500 dollar hardware to come with the device required to interface with it
>>739965696I upgraded my PC 3 years ago and I currently have zero interest in a Gabecube.
>>739987278Its not $1,500 USDYou can buy it with or without a controllerIt still sucks and is a terrible deal no matter how you look at it
>>739969378>otherwise you're arguing valve can't get a better deal with the hardware manufacturers than youThey can, but you're ignoring the fact that they won't be using off the shelf components and that there's the Brand Tax, on top of the fact that the piece of shit Deck is getting an unjustifiably massive price hike.Even if the Gaben Cube was $800 bucks it would still be overpriced for what it is.
>>739965696>Cloud Ai GeneratedBy the time the kikes decide to do that I will get my last PC build.
NEH
>>739987730You had better hurry up, because Nvidia at Computex is going to push cloud rendering really hard
>>739965696Ok, here's my cope. Valve has multiple RAM providers. They're using the extremely expensive RAM for the Decks so that at least they have stock. Meanwhile they're saving the cheaper RAM for the Machines.

>instead of deleting, correcting, and reposting my post, I'll triple down and keep being a newfaggot while my typos amply show how stupid I am I was trying to help you
>>739975873I'd only ever get one to replace my docked steam deck that I use as a media PC for my TV. The steam controller makes it really comfy and if I want to play anything more demanding than what the deck can handle I can stream it from my PC. That's really all I can think it will be used for, a media PC that can play games at decent settings from a living room environment. If you'd want to play anything demanding you probably already have a PC for that so stream it. If you don't have a PC the cube can still game. Honestly though I have 90% of spare parts needed to make an AM4 media PC, so I'm not that interested in the Cleveland steam box.
Sure you did. Anyways, back to the original point. Economic downturn only happens once you try fix things.

>>739995148yes, ddr5 on a sodimmvalve wouldn't be dumb enough to use anything but 2gb modules where you're not minmaxing everything by soldering it to the board8gb modules are more than 4x more expensive to produce than 2gb modules due to manufacturing defects being more likely as chip size goes up
