@the_clay_bird So you don’t have to ship it off to another company or just buy a whole new one. While companies like Xbox or PlayStation make it so you more so are licensed to use their console, with the SM you own it. Every aspect and can do what you want without a company saying no (2/2)
My desktop was $1600
That was with:
5060ti 16gb
Ryzen 7 8600
32GB ram
1tb storage.
That’s JUST the desktop. No mouse, keyboard or anything else.
People acting like this is bad for people who will plug it into their tv, ya know, the tv that’s 60hz, is ridiculous. (1/3)

@the_clay_bird Not being tied to a specific storefront means you can buy video games from different store fronts and get better deals on them, rather than just being locked to one and having to go by their prices. As for the personal PC, it allows you to, you can repair it yourself- (1/2)
@the_clay_bird Most consoles like Xbox and ps5 have a closed ecosystem. With the Steam machine, you don’t have that. You aren’t only tied to steams storefront, you can use others. You have more options, you can use it as a pc or just a console, you can repair/replace parts yourself
@THECaptGeech Would be a lot and probably even worse to hold out. Best option was to release at the best price they could without taking a loss. I wish it was the original $750 they planned but ai is to blame for the change in price
@FHoeltl But it’s also convenience. People don’t wanna have to go through the trouble setting up or building a Pc, especially if it’s Linux build like the SM is. And without all the bloat of something like windows, it’ll run games much smoother
@Igloczek -Which would save money in the long run. I can also repair it by myself, I am not tied down to one specific ecosystem, I can use it as a Pc without having to jailbreak my PS5, plus if you wanted a PS5 with a disc drive or a pro you’d be paying even more in the long run
@Igloczek Or you just aren’t listening? The prices you’d pay to now that you’ve spent on online alone are more than your PS5. Plus if you were to get a PS5 today you’d be paying more for that and online. Or I could just spend $1k and not have to pay $130 extra a year for online-
@Igloczek -repair it yourself, you don’t have to use steam on it, you can use it as a Pc if you wish and aren’t locked to whatever the console companies make you use. You have more freedom, it’s your machine.
@Igloczek Let’s say you bought a base PS5 on launch. $500 (plus tax) + $130 a year for online. Already you’ve spent more than the Steam Machine. Not to include full priced games. To repair your PS5 you have to send it off to Sony, you have to use their ecosystem, while SM offers ways to-
@v7636h I’d say MS has more sales than PS, the problem is if you need to replace a part on consoles, you either have to take it to a store to get it done, or ship it out to the company for them to fix it. The main thing about the SM is you can do it yourself easier than a console
@GoodTalkHQ_YT To be fair, have you ever had someone complain about any of that on the steam deck? I’ve never had that issue on it, nor as anyone I know that owns one. If this is supposed to be like a steam deck in how it works with steamOS, it’ll work just fine
