Funny, cause whilst its very pricey, i spent more than this on my phone. And most flagship phones cost about the lower end of this. But because i get my phone essentially interest free over a 4 year contract i somehow justify the cost without thinking too much about the fact that i spent 1500 quid on a small slab of glass and metal.
Maybe i need to rethink my grasp on the concept of money.
Base price seems fair for a PS5 form factor PC, if you want that (I do). But I was hoping to grab the 2TB model… that’s making me reconsider.
Apparently 2TB hard drives are already pricey anyway, but maybe I’ll try to be careful and uninstall games more, like with the Deck? 512GB is already mostly full with emulation and games I want available on hand though…
It could or should have been around 700-800. We must be thankful AI companies that it is how it is now.
I’m still getting one but this is clearly a luxury item now rather than a competitive console. Sucks to be Valve here, the timing really worked against them.
I just really hope the VR headset is not much worse than this as I just want to play No Man’s Sky on linux VR.
quite a deal, as a 262 year old unc, steam machines back in my day took nearly $2000 to make
I see that the controller bundle already sold out in Japan.
And they’ll probably increase the price by next year.
The sad part is that Valve really did price all the parts for pretty much as low as they could go:
Valve can call me when it makes products I can actually afford on a janitor’s salary
Sadly thats probably a competitive price for a console now.
This makes me wonder about the next time we have to buy new phones …
Not suprised after seeing the deck’s price hike. Thanks AI…
So thats pretty much as expected - 7 months ago it would have been ~$700 as predicted

Baseline numbers compared to top end numbers don’t make sense. 700 vs 1050.
those numbers are likely aimed to be profitable not just now but for a while. if they raise the price with every manufacturing run people will lose trust.
That’s unfortunate. Expected, but unfortunate.
I like gaming. That like is not strong enough to extend to that price point.
Probably not interested for those specs at that price.
In Japan, the page also has a link that goes to some partner of theirs that’s just a maintenance page at 09:38 on a weekday which… does not inspire confidence.
