  I’m dreading what the Steam Frames are going to cost.

    To be fair, the Frame was never going to be cheap.

      I feel like 1200-1300 was probably likely before the price bump. I’m not confident it will come out under 15 at this point

      Relative to what? I don’t think it’s shooting for pimax dream or even valve index price points (well, outside of the component pricing crunch)

      Tbf, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 with 256 GB shouldn’t be insane.

    If the index cost $1000 without a battery, storage, memory and a SoC in 2019, I can’t imagine the frame is going to be anything below $1,500 with 2026 pricing.

      Though the Index did use an intricate OLED screen and it had the lighthouses and finger tracking controllers (they have 87 different sensors per controller). Without the AIpocalypse, the Frame was originally supposed to be the cheaper of the two.

      2026 prices though, who knows.

  don’t editorialize the title please… valve didn’t say this, this is just one ign writer’s speculation. and the said write can’t even do simple math…

    Kinda an accident to be honest, the article title is “The Steam Machine Was Originally Meant to Cost About $750”, but when I submitted it to Lemmy, the default title for the URL was instead ”Valve Says the Steam Machine Saw a Similar Price Increase as the Steam Deck…”, so I tried to change it back to the actual article title from memory. I was on my phone at the time, so I didn’t double check the title as I should have.

    I’ll fix it now.

  $1050 is the new $750. LOL.

  I’m running on fumes.

  My budget is out of steam.

  I’ve condensed my spending habits.

  Take your pick!

  And even then, it would have a hard time competing against the base PS5 unfortunately. AI has risen the cost of everything for everyone, turns out

    The RAMpocalypse has widened the price gap between console makers that subsidize their hardware and Valve more than ever.

      We wouldn’t want them to run out of money… Or life, would we?

  512gb is Kong o ridiculous for minimum storage these days.
