Steam Machine prices are out, waiting list available
(thelemmy.club)
i moved recently and don't have a TV anymore so my excitement for this kinda dwindled. the 2TB price seems like a bit of a hard sell, but honestly i expected them to be even wilder given the circumstances. personally much more excited for the Steam Frame
I guess my point is if you just wanna play the latest GTA (which a lot of average people are gonna want) I would just point them towards a playstation 5 (and I say that as someone who doesnt care about most AAA gaming and specifically console gaming) I do see a specific use case for some weirdos like me though. I just dont see the potential for wider market adoption but I also think similar to the steam deck the steam machine was always gonna be an enthusiasts piece of hardware. Even at somewhat better prieces.
Yeah same, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone casual and I'm not buying it personally. I didn't mean to come off as I was discounting what your comment in general was saying, I just think the price itself is kinda
because ~~at the end of the day a pre-built PC of similar quality will probably run them the same amount when it's all said and done.~~
actually you know what I'm wrong I just feel like the pricing isn't so bad in my eyes (although I have no real love for Steam in general) due to ram and storage pricing. But upon a quick google I do see now that you could probably get a similarly priced pre-built that is at least as powerful as a PS5 lol
