Before we get our hopes up, remember that saying "launch in summer" still could mean up to 4 months from now, summer technically ends in September.

    Technically ends right before September.

    Before the comments just become another pricing argument, I want to say I'm still hyped. These look like really cool products.

    Hard to be hyped about something I'm almost inevitably not going to be able to afford, though. No matter how badly I want the frame.

    Everyone over here arguing about the price and I'm just remembering how we got Half Life Alyx when they released the Index and hoping they surprise release HL3 with the launch of the Steam Machine and have it compatible with the PC.

    Steam Machine is (or will be) a PC, so I'm not sure how they would/could make HL3 and not have it be compatible with PC. Or am I missing something?

    Yeah I'm tempted by the steam frame. Never tried VR. But I'm not sure my old 3050 laptop will have the muscle to play decent games for it, might wait and see.

    It's going to be $1999.99 isn't it.

    Steamdeck increased in price 200-300 dollars and still sold out. It made the Switch 2's $50 price increase seem cheap. Steam machine is going to be way overpriced and still do well. I don't have any faith prices will go back to anything reasonable anymore because people have shown they'll buy it at these prices.

    I think I'm more likely going to buy the Playnix console of it comes back in stock. The Steam Machine won't fit in my TV unit and based on the reviews of the Steam Controller I'm not that bothered by its inclusion.

    I'll wait for the price steam sets, and compare it to the performance of minis I can get at that price. I'll give Valve a boost, because I believe in the quality, and Devs will target that hardware.

    But, my Beelink mini, I'm using as a sever, has been going strong.
