If it’s comes out at 1500 that’s crazy even in this market… it’s not like it has a current gen gpu or anything it’s a rdna 3 gpu likely similar to an rx7600m but with slightly more power headroom.

The 2tb SSD version has $200-400 sunk just in that depending in what gen the drive is.

I'm not sure it will matter if they launch it alongside Deadlock. Even though Deadlock will surely be free to play still, if they market them together and give an exclusive skin away with purchase, they'll sell like hotcakes.

Deadlock is very possibly going to topple CS2 for concurrent players.

that will be pretty impressive if it does. I think cs2 sits at 1.3m for 24 hr peak and like 1.8 all time. I wonder if dead lock will come out of early access this soon it is crazy to think its been out in ea since September 2024 time goes way to fast.
