I already cancelled it yesterday, I’m sure someone else took the slot. 😂
But realistically, it IS a bad deal financially, the only reason I kept mine at all was the aesthetic. But then I lost the wood faceplate and then the Companion Cube. 😔

I know, right? Do the render, send it to Valve, get licensed…

I have the money. 😉

That’s what I was thinking… secondary market for replaced Steam Machine memory… but TBH, after I got downgraded from the 2TB reservation to the 512, and saw the removal of the 4K60 stat, and the problems with single channel memory, and the cancelation of the Companion Cube, I don’t even want one anymore. 😔

I definitely assumed some kind of partnership, especially after watching the launch video where they claimed Aperture Science had been bought by dBrand.
Why yes, yes it has already been re-uploaded to YouTube:

They mentioned they had 15,000 people sign up on day 1. With a $100 and a $130 option.
Let’s say 80% picked the $130 choice and 20% the $100 choice:
15,000 * .80 * $130 = $1,560,000
15,000 * .20 * $100 = $300,000And that’s just day 1. They had 7 months of sign ups before ordering started.

Based on this video, they neglected to do something as basic as an air filter. I doubt thermals are top of mind for them:

Remember that guy who tried to Kickstart a Game of Thrones card game?

The biggest mistake Valve made was not shutting it down when it was announced.

You would think the people in charge of production would have pressed management on it:
“Hey, did we get permission this time? Or is it the Dark Plates all over again?”

I started with that and then clicked the other 3 when I found out it was a “best of” option.

I put in for all 4 variants, got the 512 w/ controller.
I still haven’t seen the ordering email yet. I’m bummed because I really wanted the wood faceplate, but I’ll settle for the companion cube.
- Comment on Anyone get the email yet? (Steam Machine) 2 weeks ago:
I put in for all 4 hoping to get one of them:
“You’re officially in the reservation queue for Steam Machine 512GB with Controller
When your Steam Machine 512GB with Controller becomes available, we will send you a separate email with the option to purchase. You’ll then have 3 days to complete the purchase before we cancel your reservation and move on to the next person in the queue.This is the only email you will receive about the results of the randomization. If you ended up with a reservation queue spot for more than one model, you were allocated a reservation for the highest end model, and were removed from all the others.”

I don’t see it happening before the AI bubble pops, and after it pops we’ll all be too busy scavenging to play games. 😉
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 2 weeks ago:
$1050 is the new $750. LOL.
- Comment on Steam Deck 2 getting closer but hardware still not quite there yet 2 weeks ago:
Given the reaction to Steam Machine pricing, I doubt we’ll see it pre-bubble, and post bubble people will be trying to survive. 😔

It’s 2TB with memory Sony stockpiled before things went crazy. Valve had to buy after things went crazy. 😉
Watch the PS5 price go up again.

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 2 weeks 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!

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 2 weeks ago:
And if you get the controller bundle, you save $20 over buying it separately.
