HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>$1049 doesn't even include the controllerJesus fucking christ
With a PS5 Pro being 900, it makes sense this was going to be 1000 or over.
So are the specs better than the ps5 pro ?
>>741638315Okay but how much is the Steam Frame.
>>741638315$1128 with a controller, this shit is so DoA, I really wanted one...
IM STILL GOING TO BUY IT TO POST A PICTURE OF IT ON REDDIT FOR UPDOOTS TO OWN THE FUCKING CHUDS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>wasn't even able to get low enough for 999$YIKES
NGL I'll take it at that fellas
>sold out in 40 minutes
I WAS HERE MOTHERFUCKERSdas crazy
>>741638450Does it? It's significantly worse than a PS5 Pro. It's basically around PS5 level.
son...
>>741638450except that it's weaker than base ps5
>1108 eurobucks Good I'm not the audience...
Cheaper than I thought

Damn man, obviously you'd want the 2TB one with a controller.
THIS IS A SWEET FUCKING DEALTHANK YOU BASED GABEN
what are you? poor?

Gotta be honest, this thing is beefy as fuck. Honestly worth the asking price imho
I still am a bit annoyed they didn't get a RDNA4 chip for it so it would have a no-problem FSR4 compatibility Now we're seeing some RDNA2 and RDNA3 versions of FSR4/Redstone, but it would have been better with a full RDNA4 chip

Bought 1000 from my chinese farm accounts to use for AI Agents.

>>741638595>no u!!!!Nice try valve shill
>>741638673The 8gb vram cope kills it
not exactly unexpected but .. ouchthe "it runs linux, it's just a pc, it's yours to do whatever with" is kinda biting them because they can't subsidize it, they're probably still selling it at a loss atp

I have 4070 in my PC, but it's an 8GB card, and I hate Windows. This is too much. I'll wait for a 2nd gen model, or for Steam OS to be more available on other hardware.
inexcusableyou can build a better machine for significantly lesswho is the target demographic for this trash
Ok, so the Frame is going to be nearly the same pricepoint as the Index was, isn't it?
WHAT THE FUCKApple Mac mini with the M4 (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU) chip, 24 GB of unified memory, 512 GB of storage, Gigabit Ethernet costs $999. Steam Machine is more expensive than that!
>>741638784>you can build a better machine for significantly lessnot anymore you can't
>already sold out
>>741638784get with the program retard steamies have turned into apple tards in the last 8 or so yearrsthis thing is going to be out of stock for 2 years because it has a valve logo on it
>>741638440doesn't include a keyboard or mouse either. You're literally buying a paperweight lmao
>>741638469No frame page unfortunately. That's the one I actually want. >>741638494Considering how much a 2TB SSD is now going for if its a decent one, I'm not actually surprised Also I'm glad Valve learned their lesson and basically closed and randomized the list on the 25th rather than having people try to F5 race to see if they get one.
>>741638832All three of them
>>741638315Cheaper than I expected
>>741638832retard
>>741638816don't worry, I'm sure there will be a 2k pricepoint for all of it put together
>>741638440512gb hard drive, can install 2 AAA games
Are all of you ready to apologize to Switch 2 yet?
Alright that's better
this shit would've been like 800 if not for ai garbage fucking everything up
This is more expensive and the GPU is weaker than the PS5 Pro.
>>741638315not as over as my hairline
deckies are NEVER getting an upgrade at this rate
>>741638784>who is the target demographic for this trashDod you not watch their trailer?
Who is the target market here?Console gamers? The PS5 is cheaper.PC Gamers? You probably already have a better system.
Oh ok, this is a much better pricepoint. Might pull the trigger on it tbqh...
>>741638315>8gb VRam>16 ramKEK Just by a PS5 Pro.
If i was retarded and waited all these years to buy a new PC instead of buying it 2 years ago id probably get this because id have no choice considering the current price of hardware.Pick related cost me 2000 $. (i did get 1 more SSD later and one was an old SSD i already had.)And also it has 24 threads i just disabled Hyperthreding for emulation and most of the games i play run better whit it off + my CPU is cooler.

>>741638315Thank fuck I bought a 4070 12GB last year for 1/3 of the price of this thing. Christ.
>>741638315Actually dead on arrival. Holy fuck this is disappointing.
>>741638494>over a grand for 6 CPU cores and a GPU comparable to a 7-year-old mobile card
>>741638997Windows users who want out of Windows but don't want to cut off their dicks nor dedicate their life to learning some useless nerd shit.
>>741638315>load up my steam machine + controller>90% of games on steam are KBM onlyJust one reason why this thing will flop, valve should have spent the last year mandating controller support for all games on steam
>>741639004wrong pick.
>>741638535If you bought a PS5 on launch and paid 80$ a year, then you will have spent the same amount in another year.
>>741639007They announced it before they secured everything. They fucked up massively not having their shit ready and now their pr is going off a cliff
Jump through those hoops, Steam cultists.
>>741638784japan
>>741638494
>>741638440Look, you can't expect to get this kind of premium for free. Do you even know how expensive trackpads are?>>741638595If you're earnestly defending this you're just a Gabe simpHonestly if it was much more powerful and twice as expensive that would make more sense, because aiming for console-like performance when they can't possibly target console-like pricing for a fully functional PC invites a very obvious and negative comparison
ausbros....it's over
>>741638770Second model? Anon thts going to be in like 4 years.
>>741638920>AI garbage AI didn't do anything, living in a society where the administration refused to regulate anyone who greased his palm with silver got us this situation. There's no reason that one or even a handful of companies should have been able to buy ALL THE FUCKING FUTURE WAFERS. In a sane world it would have been crushed as an anticompetitive practice and the SEC and other financial oversight organizations would have raped those banks who gave them zero interest loans to do so etc.
>valve straight up lied about 4k 60FPSlol lmao
I can buy a new GPU, a new keyboard and a new monitor for that muchDOA
>>741638315Oh no!Anyway..
>>741639225If ever.
>>741639152NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWE NEED TO KEEP THIS OUT OF STOCK SO GODBEN CAN GET A NEW YAAAAAAAAAAAACHT
I wonder what they wanted it to cost before AI shit, 799?
Literally gonna get one and throw my PS5 Pro extra SSD in it and I already own the steam controller otherwise Id be so out this is such a ripoff.They should be happy PS5 has no games so I don't need the extra storage.
>>741639096what's stopping you from simply installing SteamOS on your machine without having to pay one thousand fucking euro for an objectively inferior piece of hardware
>>741639226Peak TDS lmaoYou lost freak
Its really just unfortunate that AI raised component prices so much. I mean you have to imagine the people at valve have to be frustrated, the first steam machine flopped horribly, they spent years reiterating on the second one and everything seemed to be going really well after the reveal, everyone was interested, but then the AI boom raised prices to the point where they're now having to sell it overpriced and at the same time probably at a loss per unit.
>>741638826Yeah but Mac mini doesn't play games and everything on Steam OS seems to run better than Windows.
>>741639004why would you put that in your body?
>>741639003Even if they were the exact same amount why would anyone with working testicles buy a proprietary locked down machine where you have to kneel before Sony instead of a Linux powered PC that you can pirate and use as you wish?
>can buy 3x more powerful prebuilt for the same price or few bucks extratop fucking kek
>PS5 Pro has better specs than this and way cheaperI’m not even a snoy but this is just sad. Gaben got anally gaped by a bunch of caliniggers
And remember $1049 model comes WITHOUT controller
>we're NEVER getting HL3 because they can't announce it any more because of how embarrassingly bad this shitty fucking cube isAAAAAAGH FUCK VALVE
>>741638315>vote in plutocrats>be shocked and surprised everything that isn't being a chattel slave for a rich person is priced out into being a luxury for the few

FYI, if you DO NOT sign up by the 25th, you WILL NOT receive a Steam Machine in 2026. Fair warning, might as well sign up now just to be safe
why don't they just have it 1000 how jewish of them
>512GB>2026What on fucking Earth?PS5 was $500 at launch and included 825GB in 2020.
Why did Gaben abandon us in our time of need?

>>741639152This isn't for Valve fanboys, retard. They all have good PCs already. This shit is for normies who are curious about PC gaming but are too intimidated by it to even buy a regular prebuilt.
>>741638494OOF
steambros...
>>741639414A PS5 pro is $899.99 now.Valve is taking future prices into account btw. So expect the PS5 and switch 2 to go up even more
>>741638850>Also I'm glad Valve learned their lesson and basically closed and randomized the list on the 25th rather than having people try to F5 race to see if they get one.No this is more retarded because luck was a factor but it correlated with how fast you ordered it thus how badly you wanted one. Now its presumably completely random so you could sign up in the first 5 minutes and get yours in 2027 while someone who applied on day 3 gets the first shipment. I understand we shouldn't fuck people who had to work or were busy at that moment in the day. But day 1 should have priority over day 2 and day 3.
>>741638494good god
The form factor is cool and basicaly that's itmight as well shit out money for the m5 mac mini
>>741639426That fat fuck never gave a damn about you. Now pay up slave, he needs another Florida mansion.
So…they’re definitely going to be announcing HL3 now to damage control, right?
>>741639437
Already pre-ordered.Glad to see retards seething.
this is the part of the thread where we throw our heads back in laughter!AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>741638315HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>741639461But a regular pre built would be cheaper than this
>>741639347Already have a stream controller (old one and new one) plus you can literally sync any new controller with Bluetooth (I prefer the Series X because 100% of games are just designed for it cus windows)
This thing getting gapped by the PS5 Pro is crazy. And whats funnier is that PS5 Pro might perform even better in the future if they keep improving PSSR like they did with the 2nd revision which was a huge fucking upgrade.
>>741639004>id probably get this because id have no choice considering the current price of hardware.You can build a PC right now that's better and cheaperAlso to the anon that argued it wouldn't be over $1000 because he could build it for $800. L M A O

>>741639461They're not gonna pay this much, be real.
This thing had to beat the ps5 pro and have a controller included for me to somewhat want to buy this console.
>>741639414It has an SD card slot. Unlike Switch you can use any SD card. Not even PS5 can run games off the SD card.
>>741638784Can you?
Valve got fucked by the AI grift
>>741639096SteamOS is just another Linux distro that comes preinstalled and starts in a console-like interface. You do not need a Steam Machine or SteamOS get that and frankly installing most Linux distros is easier than installing WindowsLike if you really need to spend $1000 to get off Windows that's in learning disability territory
>weaker than a ps5
>>741638315How DOA is this on a scale of over to so fucking over?
>>741638315You get the 512GB, then you just buy a 2TB microSD. I did that for my steam deck OLED.
>>741639437>i only wanted to play 2D indie pixel platformers anyway>for $1,000 + tax + tipAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>741639501>how badly That was never really the case. Between the massive botting last time and people showing up at or even before last time yet never being able to actually check out because of a variety of technical or line-fuck-you reasons, I'd rather it be fully random rather than allowing someone with a sneakerdrop botnet managing to list tons of shit on ebay within seconds where regular people who showed up at the appointed time couldn't even check out.
>>741639627AI companies. It would have been more expensive than PS5 regardless, because Valve isn't subsidizing the price at all like Sony is, but it wouldn't be 600 vs 1050.
>>741639437Can you post a real game tho? What's the benchmark on an actual game like Two Point Museum?

I just bought a kamrui h2 mini pc (14900hx, 16gb, 512gb) for 500 aud. Should I have waited for this? It's three times the price for the 512gb model, but has got two things that I'm very envious of; a proper gpu, and no power brick...
IT'S TWICE THE PERFORMANCE OF 9800X3D + RTX 5090
>>741638463CPU wise it's definitely better, but the 8gb GPU might be the bottleneck, because PS5 has something like 16gb combined system memory ram that it allocates as needed, kinda like how the steam deck does it.

The problem is that the way they did it for the controller didn't work that way at first - it was literally "first come first served" and a lot of people who tried to "come first" got fucked over by tech, botters, and other shit. I agree they could weight the signups this time slightly so that those who signup sometime today (or after first announcement, not this unofficial stuff where someone finds it etc) gets a bonus, over those who sign up tomorrow, over those who sign up after that, but still this is far better than a random F5 race. The signup window is only 3 days and after that they do the randomization and then anyone else gets put behind all the signups etc.

>>741639092It's an enthusiast device designed for people who play with their steam Decks perma docked to their TVs. 6 times the performance of the 'eck at only twice the price isn' t awful, especially if they can sell their decks to shave off a big chunk of the price.

Any of you fags note the bottom of the FAQ? >Is this the Valve console?We think of Steam Machine as an extension of PC gaming, not as a console.The traditional console model is to sell hardware at a loss and make up the revenue with subscription services or by selling games that are locked-in to the hardware. We think this can make sense for a single business in the short term but that open ecosystems are better for customers over the long term. PC gaming's history proves this: The openness of the PC gaming space has enabled it to be the primary driver of hardware and software innovation for decades.The strength of PC gaming is the ability to play the games you want on the hardware you want. Steam Machine is *a* solution to these problems (and we think it's a great one), but it's not the only solution, and we don't want it to be.>If I don't get a Steam Machine right away, is there anything else I can do?Thanks to the openness of the PC platform, there are lots of options for devices that will allow you to run games natively or streamed to your TV. There are many PC sites and communities out there that can help you with that. For our part, we are continuing to work toward enabling SteamOS to be used on more hardware than just ours.> In fact, with the newly-released SteamOS 3.8, you can run the same code and operating system as Steam Machine on your own living-room PC using whatever PC parts you want:https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/65B4-2AA3-5F37-4227 . Right now, only AMD GPUs are supported, but we're working on expanding support for the future.Seems they're making good on moving SteamOS to general hardware officially with the latest versions!
>>741638594If they aren't bullshitting about the cool & quiet thing this thing has a lot of really nice qol like the form factor and power brick. its a shame valve had this idea during what must be the worst time to try and release this kind of thing ever. If they had this idea in 2019 I think it could have been cheap enough to justify but nobody is going to spend over a grand just because its ergonomic

Will this actually be difficult to get at launch or is the price too much of a turnoff?I wanted a PC for my home theater but now Im thinking of waiting for project helix.
>>741638315>our steam machine is better than most pc in the third world>put a price point impossible to reach for most of the 3rd worldI know there is a component price crisis and everything but over $1000 is an insult. Valves make enough cash to drop the price $50 and don't break the 4 digits psychological barrer.
>>741640605At least that's not the case. FSR4/Redstone is now accessible on RDNA3 and maybe RDNA2, so this should be fine. It took them awhile to port it officially but I'm sure this device is probably why. Admittedly I wish they had an RDNA4 GPU in the Steam Machine (and that it had more than 8GB VRAM) but at least FSR4 / Redstone will work fine now
>>741640161The bells and whistles are neat and matter to the normies who wanna play games and have things just work.... But unless their upscaling tech pulls off black magic with the 4k, this is basically a ps4 with tech problems. >Smart move would be mini PC manufacturers to promote their Linux steam machines>Steam doesn't care if you buy a Steam Machine or not, they want you using steam and using Linux. Getting "owned" by other mini PC builders using Linux is a win for them.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST BUY A ROG XBOX ALLY X???
>>741640768Steam Machine will sell out instantly, and not be available until 2027. I wouldn't hold your breath for Project Helix either. If it's no cancelled outright, it sounds like the Poojeeta is making it so that it's not a full blown Windows 11 PC, it just has the Xbox PC app on it.
I just want the casing of this steam machine and then build my own.
If a steamdeck is the same price why not just buy that?
>>741640721>Literally who is this forIt's like Apple for consolefags who don't want to deal with the friction of getting into the PC gaming space. Just give me a box that makes everything work and I don't have to think about it
>>741640516Cool, you just answered your own question.
>>741640768If you want a PC, then I suggest getting this or building your own if its too expensive/not enough. Helix is a long away away and its going to be a proprietary console faggotry machine designed to serve Microsoft's needs first, even if they allow other shit - why support that instead of building your own HTPC or getting something like Steam Machine where valve has proven they haven't locked down the Deck or anything else iin the past?
>>741640314>Playing in 4kLol

$1000 for those specs are pretty good. Blame AI for making PC parts skyrocket.
>>741640584And the 2070 has DLSS.
As someone who will not get one and wouldn't have gotten one anyway even if it was way cheaper, considering the current hardware costs, isn't it still relatively cheap?With the current hardware prices, can you actually build a similar spec'd PC spending less(including a controller in the price), or a better one for the same price, or not?>inb4 steamie copingno im actually wondering and asking, cause i wont get one in any case, but all i see is "it's very cheap" vs "no its not you can build a better pc for less" etc, but no real data, so i have no grounds on who to believe
At this price buy a more powerful PS5 Pro unless you NEED coomer games.
>>741640145SteamOS allows the GPU to share the system RAM as well, so that 8gb is more like the minimum RAM the GPU has available. Thus, people laughing at the 8gb VRAM are doing so out of ignorance. SteamOS has already been proven to run games much more efficiently than Windows which greatly aids performance. There are doubtless other little tricks here and there which allow the GabeCube to get away with slightly weaker hardware - it just uses that hardware a lot better.

https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-machine-review>The Steam Machine, at $1049, is a bit too expensive to take on the PS5 or the Xbox Series X. But even at that seemingly high price, it's still one of the cheapest and almost certainly the easiest way to get into PC gaming right now, and that makes it an easy recommendationROFL
>>741640625Neat, but I refuse to buy Apple crap.

I'm gonna be honest, lads. I was thinking about getting one, but naaahhhh. Maybe it's time to consider a mini-itx 5070 ti build. I mean, if you're dropping 1K-1.5K, you might as well drop another 500 and get a monstrous system./v/ was unironically and objectively right on this one. LOL
>>741639252800 for the base model and 1000 for the 2tb + controller sounds about right. Valve can't subsidize it like they did the steam deck because it's just an open mini PC that can be used for non-gaming applications by chinks in call centers. If it were more locked down and had the storage/ram soddered on, then maybe 500 bucks for base model could have been possible.
>>741638315That OUYA is looking a bit different than I remember

This is another failure in the making. And to add insult to injury, it’ll be the steam deck all over again: it will completely miss the target audience of console gamers it wants to attract into the Steam ecosystem and only diehard Steam cultists will buy it. They’ll play with it for a few days only to abandon it and go back to their beefier gaming PC. Ring it up, another valve hardware L
>>741638315Realistically how much would it cost without ram shortage?

>>741641756>What went so wrong?Nothing really. The anons laughing don't understand anything about the GabeCube. SteamOS allows for a lot of tricks to increase performacne such as GPU being able to use system RAM, and the OS itself being specifically designed for gaming, and has been proven to run significantly more efficiently than Windows for that purpose.

>>741641529Its target audience is casuals. A casual cant tell the difference in specs between 1050$ Steam Machine and 1000$ Dell Prebuilt or whatever the fuck, but Steam is what he has his games on so Steam Machine should surely work right? And they sure arent blowing 4000$ on top of the line PC. And Steam Machine does work to some middling extent, at which point they'll justify it as a good purchase because its so small and going with anything cheaper prebuilt would be absolute shitbox incapable of running anything.

>>741638315I don't think that people understand the implications of this for the next-gen consoles as well.If this is on the level of a PS5 or PS5 pro even then the next-gen consoles are going to have to be more powerful which would put them around the $1200-$1500 price point.And that's being generous.
>>741642546>he thinks the shitch is part of the conversation
with the inflated prices, this is basically a furniture piece you buy to show off. this isn't a PC for gamers
So if I want console experience at this price range I'm better off with a ps5pro
couldnt le based gabe just eat the costs and not buy a fourth yacht to make his dream of a new console gaming market real instead of plopping a 1.5k turd on the floor
>>741638315oh no no no novalvebrothers dont look
Enough time has passed, so what is /v/erdict on the controller? Should I get one?
>1500 dollars before tax for 3060ish level performance Is this good
It's over
Are we forgetting it was advertised as 6x more powerful than the steam deck? The deck wasn't putting out shit tier graphics.
>>741642650>snoy and microsoft should be shaking in their boots!>valve might release a worse version of their consoles for 3x the price!pcbros are delusional lmao
>"it's DOA!">sells out instantlyso if people buying a console isn't a marker of it's success, what is?
>>741642728Subsidizing the cost by any reasonable amount would probably empower any "hurr steam is le heckin monopoly" arguments that lawyers haveit's okay in current year I suppose?
>>741642658I fucking hate this gif so much but I always watch it when it's posted
I can't into specs, could this play Pragmata decently?
>>741638315nigga just get a laptop and plug it to your TV, the laptop at least comes with a screen, keyboard and mouse. What the fuck are we doing here?

>>741642780you can get a laptop with a 3060 mobile gpu for like 600$
>>741642780>Is this goodTerrible, at that point the new intel laptop cpu look better.
>>741641370You needed to buy a Gameboy player to unlock the maximum cube potential of the gamecube.
>>741642864forgot to tag >>741642780
>>741642756You cant get one even if you want too, wait lists are up to 2027 now.
>>741642780Can this even run that mandatory RTX slop like Indiana Jones?
>>741638494STOP LAUGHING
times are getting tougher for the poors.sorry niggas.
>>741642910Yeah but then you're branded as a laptop nigger
>>741642809>>741642809>>741642809NEW
>>741641469https://www.codeweavers.com/crossoverThen install Windows version of Steam using that app
>>741642958Didn't they patch that shit out for the xbox ally? Same with doom.
>>741641756Thats now like boomers saying their home was 300 bucks today.
>>741641001>no controller
A Neo Geo AES and 10 AES games is cheaper and comes with multiple controllers
>>741641854Same 2500 now is 4000 for same 3 year old parts
>>741642829You cannot argue with results, is the saying. But in this case, do you not also want ubiquity and not just buyers. Imagine if everyone immediately had a SM and it became the only console anyone bothered buying. You can't do this with such a high price point.
>>741642829long term sales retard-kun. Steam deck sold 4 million units but was “sold out” constantly. For reference the Wii U sold 13 million units and is considered one of nintendos biggest flops
>>741638315Watch it rape the Switch 2 in sales.
>>741640569Me too. Can't wait to get switch 2 to play....uhmm. uuhhh... .yeah
>>741641415>a 4060 laptop performs way worse than my own RX 6600 8GB desktop PC at the same settingsNo it doesn't. The mobile 4060 computes 15 TFLOPS vs the desktop RX 6600's 9 TFLOPS. Half again as many cores and transistors, higher RAM clock, same RAM config and bus width. It performs noticeably better in raster and significantly better in ray tracing.
>>741642932What a glorious system it is on a CRT.>excellent GC library>all the gameboy games ever released>SNES to Gamecube controller adapter to dodge the shittty d-padStill unchallenged.
>>741642604How about pulling a Robin Hood on them instead for all the RAM and storage?
>>741642958Yes, that's why they use Linux, you can just do that there.
>ITT: poorfags who will beg threads into bump limit the absolute SECOND a giveaway is announcedSaw it with the deck, it'll happen again with the box. Sour grapes board. Save up your McD's and welfare checks.
>>741641698Some jews yeah but its not only jews. If it was only jews we'd have a much smaller problem. Unfortunately the problem is much larger and more universal when it comes to greedy faggots.
>>741642658Seethe steamfag
>>741642756Yes, but only if you can afford a $100 controller. It's not much better than a 8bitdo 2.4ghz ultimate 2 controller, and tbqh, the 8bitdo has a nicer base station all for $60. The Steam Box on the other hand... this shit has me considering just building a compact PC. 1500 for controller and 2TB is absolutely 100% bonafide to the very last drop LAUGHABLE!!!! HAHAHAHA.Can't believe this made it past their marketing when their primary demographic is PC gamers. Jeez luiz!
>>741643047Does raw sales actually matter? If Steam doesn't have the production capacity to make 13 million units then of course they're not going to sell as much. That's like saying Ferrari is an unsuccessful company because they only sell a few thousand cars a year. If they produce less of course they'll sell less, how does that make it a less successful piece of hardware?
>>741638494lmfaoooo
>>741643138I will but because I want that new $1100 5K2K OLED they're releasing. Much better value than this toaster lol.
>>741643254I sell you two cups of lemonade. I am now sold out. My business is a big success.
how much more suffering can the poors take before the uprising.
>>741643350Bout tree fiddy
>>741643009We're literally moving towards this aren't we? Millenials couldnt afford homes, and Gen Z won't be able to afford personal computers.
>>741640161Playdate-esque advertising
>>741643254well it’s based on the product is supposed to be. The steam deck was a hobbyist take on mobile PC gaming. The steam machine is well a pre-built uncustomizable PC and a shitty one at that
>>741643338Relatively speaking it is, if you're a kid selling lemonade on the street selling two cups is pretty good. If you're a giant lemonade manufacturer, it isn't good. But comparatively, Steam isn't a hardware manufacturer primarily, they dabble in it but that isn't their main business model. So selling millions of units for a side aspect of their business is pretty good. Versus something like Playstation or Nintendo where the consoles ARE their primary business model. Not to mention both of these companies are bigger than Valve. It's like saying an indie game not selling as much as a AAA makes it a "flop"
>>741638494>1128 bucks for 512gb/8b vramHoly kek wat the fuck is this nigga smoking.
>>741642546stfu nintigger go back to playing your baby games on your poopoo baby console
>>741641001>2.5Why do you like like this? It's only 15% better performance with RX7600. And the RAM you chose is some noname brand.Pic rel.This whole thread is a meme. Prices are high. This is more or less what you pay for a PC at current prices.Consoles are cheaper but even they won't be able to stay so forever even subsidized.
HOLY FUCK $1049 JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
show us on the doll where the AI touched you
>>741638494Steaming pile of shit machine!Hahaha the ultimate hybrid Switch 2 comes with everything and it's only $450(later this year $500)Switch 2 won so hard and there wasn't any competition!
>machine made to play indie games>AAA pricingRetarded
>>741641814>Maybe it's time to consider a mini-itx 5070 ti build.It's never a time to consider that. M-ATX cases are barely bigger, and you save hundreds not paying the mini-ITX tax for SFF power supplies, ITX mobos, and ITX cases. I recently up sized my mini ITX build from a CM NR200 case to a Jonsbo D32 pro MATX case to fit a new longboi GPU and ATX PSU, and not only was the cable management way better, the cooling is better and quieter because I can fit more fans and make them run at lower RPM. Footprint difference is negligible, too.
>>741638315My PC cost less than that, it's so over.
>>741643653post v1
>>741643749>ultimate hybridit's shit at being both a handheld and a home console
>>741643945But anon, don't you want all the models to be gone from your games and your image to be a 480p DLSS nightmare?
>>741642756Controller is good and is not compromised with chinkware "good on paper, shitty in real life" issues like some of the 3rd party. For PC use its definitely worthwhile vs many other first and definitely 3rd party controllers. Xbox X/S is outdated and doesn't even have gyro/haptics, we lack an Elite S3 too. Nintendo is equally expensive and has less features for the Switch 2. DualSense is the only one that has comparable features and the DS Edge is the only thing that comes close and is worth it on its own possibly alongside a Steam Controller. If someone makes a Sony haptics translation mod to allow DualSense speaker/mic , trigger etc.. haptics to work with SteamController that will be even better Buying the Steam controller is contributing to making gaming less shitty at least so I think that's a better use of your money and its features are equal or better vs most other things out there.
holy shit, thats about 80 BigMac Meals!
>the steam machine pricing>coupled with indies, the last vestige of new games, being overrun by AI jeet games making it harder to find stuffWow. It is actually quite over now. I guess the only solution is to further retreat into old games using emulation.
>>741638315>no special laufey version
>>741640803is it tho?
>>741643112Storage maybe but the RAM is useless for consumers.
>>741643884will take this info into account
>>741641529>Why would anyone want a mini Linux PC smaller than a series X or PS5 that can be plugged and played on any HDMI screen and is ultra portable??
>>741639569You think normal people know about 'prebuilts' on sketchy third party sites?
>>741645168I'd rather get a Switch 2 familia
>>741645168If portability means anything to you look into getting a PC handheld or the Switch. It's not like you'll be losing alot of performance with an Ally X lol.
Would you ever 'want' to play a game off a SD card?
>>741639491this is embarassing
