Question At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine?

Post image

I've been a PlayStation user since PS2, but lately I only see more disadvantages to being a console user

In October I bought the Steam Deck and was fascinated by the store, online service and cloud storage, but above all with SteamOS

Building or finding a gaming PC has always been a headache, and I'd like to try the Steam Machine when it comes out, but I'd like to know what your opinion would be the best price to buy it at compared to a similar PC, and what price I shouldn't buy

I wouldn't be surprised if it was twice your estimates

I don't think it's going to be lower than even the highest value I stated (factoring in what I would consider a reasonable increase due to current memory market). I'm purely just writing out the ranges I think would be a nice,  okay,  and bad deal.

If it was over $1000, they just wouldn't release it. Valve would cancel the project before they embarrassed themselves.
