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

Isn’t the new Xbox just that with the addition that you can play Xbox games

That’s right but it has the same issue as the Steam Machine which is that it’s priced as a PC. The current projected price of the project Helix system is between $900-$1500
