U can get a way better pre build pc at $1050 at Micro or even Best Buy, you won't have the advantage of a mini form, but who really needs that? Are u bringing ur gabecube everywhere u go? Do you live in a nyc apt ? It's weaker than a ps5 btw
If you live within 50 miles of one of the small handful of micro centers you can get a bundle, but that’s almost nobody compared to the rest of us that save you buy parts retail.

You only save $79 on the retail cost when comparing DIY to the cost of a Steam Machine in today’s market. That’s if you already own a case.

Gtfo of here man, my point is the hobby is currently expensive as hell and the ecosystem gets bigger with the steam machine. This is a net positive.

Someone’s pressed, how is this a net positive if it’s contributing to making the hobby more expensive? Make that makes sense, it’s weak and expensive, theirs no value in this 😂

If a new console comes out, we have n+1 choices. The Steam machine didn’t make the hobby more expensive, AI datacenters did.

PlayStation just made it make sense for you. You buy a PlayStation, you get digital only goods, they can take them away from you at any time, and they will.
