(laughs in Steam Deck)

Wow that's expensive!!

I feel like I'm the only one who finds this pricing reasonable? I looked up similar devices from Ayaneo and GPD and they're priced similarly. It's a premium ultrabook shrunk to a handheld size with a built in controller built by a company that can't offset costs from an online store like Steam can, what were people expecting?

You know it's going to be a great and memorable platform to play games on when it's catchy & cool name is 3/4 corpo IP 1/4 name.

Big lol

Too much. Honestly.

I hope people vote with their wallets.

What is that price tag 😂 Someone drop the Donte white wig meme please.

Way not worth it for me. Justifiable price for it's performance? Maybe. That doesn't actually matter to me. I bought a steam deck years ago. I bought a switch 2. Power is not my big concern with these systems. I have a proper PC for that. I want a reasonable portable system that can play the kinds of games I'd like to play while waiting somewhere. While laying in bed. While sitting outside because it's a nice day. I don't need insane hardware for that. The games that need that I'd play on my computer.

At the same time a Microsoft product these days screams garbage anyway. Even if it's not actually made by them. If it's got their branding, there's certain expectations that go along with it. Especially for what's basically just a computer.

Raise the federal wage and then I’ll think about buying something at a ridiculous price.
