As with all rumors, take it with a pinch of salt until official.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Save some more and wait for Magnus.

[Coloress_Kafka]

Yeah but that's for the Europeans, surely Gabe will treat his American brethren better

 

[Gabe ♥]

Im in!!!!

 

[adamsapple]

Save some more and wait for Msgnus.

 

[mckmas8808]

Why is the 2 TB only $120 more? Seems a bit weird, no?

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Fucking hell, with those specs too

 

[Gonzito]

 

[Miles708]

Well yeah thanks, but no thanks.

 

[Zathalus]

Wouldn't this be sold directly via Steam and not retailers? But yeah, around 1k is probably what this will launch at due to the DRAM situation.

 

[jm89]

Bro if those prices end up being true.

 

[Sintoid]

Waiting for official infos is such an underrated pleasure

They should have made it based on AM4 and DDR4.

 

[Luipadre]

Im only interested in the controller, nothing else

While people may have sticker shock at that number, go out to pcpartpicker.com and try putting together a list of parts for a complete machine to see how it compares.

My expectation is they push the launch of this thing back due to hardware cost increases, and when they do put it out, it will have 16GB of RAM.

 

[analog_future]

I mean what did everyone expect with this inflation/tariffs/RAM situation?

 

[Exede]

So like expected

 

[Kacho]

lol no

 

[Nihilum]

 

[T4keD0wN]

So pretty much similar (if you add tax) to a comparable prebuilt.

If it werent for the memory prices going crazy this wouldnt look very good, but i bet its fake/placeholder. Valve reps were bragging about making good deals with suppliers and wanting to offer slightly better deals than DIY would well before that, so this look overpriced for the initial batch before it inevitably goes up, unless they want to charge us more right away and/or keep the same price.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Big if true.

Big oof, that is.

 

[Mownoc]

Isn't this going to be sold only through Valve like the Steam Deck? Why the hell would this retailer know what it's going to cost lol?

 

[V2Tommy]

Is $1000 too much for an entire gaming PC now? Buncha poors in this thread!

 

[Bojanglez]

Is this taking into account that EU prices usually include VAT and US don't?

 

[R3TRO]

Dead just like the last time they attempted this.

 

[MarV0]

Why would a Chech retailer know the price of a Steam machine? Steam machines will only be sold by Valve exclusively on the Steam store.

Anything listed outside of the Steam store will be by scalpers.

No way it'll have 16 GB of Ram. They can't do that. NO WAY!

But then how will I play 007: First Light?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Exactly.

I wouldn't even consider these prices as "legit" until they're confirmed and final. But come on, they aren't going to be cheap, especially with all the dumb shit going on with components. It's just not possible. After everything going on if you're expecting it to be $400ish dollars you need a wake up call, lol.

I'm SURE they'd love for it to be cheaper, but they're a company, it's a business, and there's a reality here.

[SlimySnake]

based on the fact that the specs are worse than two consoles released over 5 years ago, at least to be the same price as the PS5 and XSX.

Seems like you already know the answer.

 

[corgiix3]

DOA

 

[Arsic]

I'm not a math wizard but with all the rising pricing of ram and gfx cards etc is this still cheaper than building the same specs yourself?

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Yes, only little over a $100 difference for FOUR TIMES THE STORAGE CAPACITY.

Please use the left side of your brains, people. This "leak" is very likely fake.

 

[analog_future]

They've said since literally day one that this is priced as similarly specced PCs, and not comparable to consoles.

 

[Cakeboxer]

>599-650 Euro = Pass

 

[Bojji]

No way it'll have 16 GB of Ram. They can't do that. NO WAY!

16GB of RAM is the minimum for modern games.

 

[proandrad]

That retailer also sells steam deck oleds at 15 990 Kč which is about $766 usd. $217 more than what a steam deck sells in the US.

 

[seb85]

DOA , I am calling it now

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Wait, retailers will be selling this? Was this known before? A grand is a bit steep for an RX 7600...

 

[Hari Seldon]

Bad time to be launching a new video game box.

 

[Punished Miku]

This is pretty much what I expected.

 

[Reavr]

I'm sure it'll be expensive, but it's hard to trust these insiders - especially after the Half-Life 3 announcement "leaks" last year.

Is this because of the AI bullshit? We truly are fucked, aren't we?
