No prices yet. I may never financially recover from this.

    Still, my point was about the price guess that the other guy made. Valve was very clear that it would be priced as a PC and not a console, consoles are around the 500 mark, so it would be at least 700 otherwise they would have mentioned aggressive pricing or something.

      Valve hasn’t been clear about the price at all though. That could simple mean it won’t be sold at a loss like console have historically been.

      Tom from Moore’s Law estimated the cost to build the steam machine at $425 and the steam deck at around $300. If the Steam Machine is sold for the save $100 profit that’s a total of $525.

        Yeah I’m thinking that it’ll be around $500 to $600 for the base model and maybe $550 to $650 for the two terabyte model. After all its upgradable so there’s not really any point them trying to price gouge anyone on the storage.
