At $900, the PS5 Pro isn’t THAT much cheaper…

Yup, yup, and a USB-C.
I grabbed one of these for the Steam Deck:

Apparently supports NVMe 2230 or 2280 sizes. You will have to remove the 512 though.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 15 hours ago:
My guess is part of the reason for the controller shortages is they reserved a bunch to do these bundles.

I got the dBrand Companion Cube notification just after midnight.

So I was HOPING today!
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 16 hours ago:
First - THANK YOU for the heads up! I was hoping when I got the dBrand Companion Cube notification just after midnight.

Second - Anyone notice the controller bundles save you $20 over buying the controller individually? Not so sad my controller reservation is AWOL.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 16 hours ago:
And if you get the controller bundle, you save $20 over buying it separately.

Got the email notification just after Midnight and put in the order, here’s hoping the Steam Machine will be as easy…
- Comment on New Steam update shows four Steam Machine models, though we still don't have a release date 1 month ago:
They could do a base model where you supply your own RAM and storage…

The head mount would be useful for Work Time Fun emulation:

Share the pain, make them hand-write everything. 😉
- Comment on Thousands of users got affected by OneDrive unstoppable spam on Windows, Android, Mac 2 months ago:
Google Drive has the same problem, and while you CAN report individual content and users as spam, it doesn’t block them from creating a new user and doing it again.
- Comment on [Discussion] Would you buy a Steam smart phone? 3 months ago:
Steam Deck is plenty, I wouldn’t want to try “real” gaming on a phone.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 4 months ago:
Michael Pachter is, was, and always will be a complete idiot. Back in the PS2 era he stated that it was no big deal if Sony sold out in North America, they could just move units over from Europe… ignoring the fact that both the video and electricity standards don’t match.
$700 isn’t a “death sentence”, know how we know this?
ROG Xbox Ally X - $1000 PS5 Pro - $750
Xbox Series X - $650
ROG Xbox Ally - $600
PS5 - $550
Steam Deck - $550
Xbox Series S - $450If Valve REALLY wanted to break people’s brains, they would release a “Supply your own RAM and storage” version for $399.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 4 months ago:
Some reviewers are just stupid people. I remember seeing a review of a game where they continually complained about the camera… the camera that was 100% player controlled on the right stick.
Did they just, not once, ever, try to move the camera? Yeah, that would be a bad experience in a 3rd person game…
- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 5 months ago:
800 Euros is $930 US which is probably close to reality, but the problem is gaming pricing as a rule looks at the number as being comparable without conversion.
So you get sillyness like the PS5 Pro launching at $699 US but £699 and €799. Even though that conversion comes out to be $699 $937 and $930.
I could see them launching at $1,000 US and then trying to go “Well, that’s the same as £1,000 or €1,000” when it’s not.
- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 5 months ago:
For real! And you see all those comments about “Why isn’t it priced like a console?” and I’m like “My brother in Christ, have you SEEN console prices lately?” $600, $650, $700, $750, $800?
Handhelds are even worse.
- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 5 months ago:
I love all the articles going “It’s going to cost more than you expect!!!” and I’m like “Really? Because I ‘expected’ around $1,000…”
It’s like people haven’t been watching pricing in the last year or so…
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 6 months ago:
Until someone has to go up to unplug it and plug it back in again. 😁
- Comment on Valve has plans for a travel case that charges your Steam Deck, leak reveals 6 months ago:
I’d think, at least for the existing Steam Decks, it would involve some kind of internal modification as well since they don’t do charging like this.

See how they run on the Steam Deck and then consider the Steam Machine is apparently 6x more powerful.

- Comment on Steam Machine – Powerful Enough? 6 months ago:
I can see unplugging the Raspberry Pi in the bedroom and replacing it with the Steam Machine.
- Comment on Steam Machine – Powerful Enough? 6 months ago:
I mean, I find my Steam Deck powerful enough and this is, what, 6x over the Steam Deck?

I could deal with the text size, but the controller mapping was a pain.
- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 7 months ago:
That 100% makes sense!

Won’t help with titles like Destiny 2 which require Windows.
