alt Hacker NewsI wonder what price they'll target. For the specs I think its worth around the same as a PS5 so maybe around 600-650 but everything points out at this not happening.
I think in the end this will sadly be bought by scalpers, rich people and YouTubers. Sucks, I was really excited for it.

I don't think $600 - $650 is very likely considering you can't even get a Steam Deck for that price anymore, and that's surely a much cheaper device. Personally I think with the Steam Deck at $800 - $950 this more powerful machine must be around $1500.
I don't think its success is a given anymore because it's clearly not going to be a "bargain" which is what many people expected, and the people who can casually overspend on this probably already have a much better computer.
I really just want the Frame, I'm already convinced (before the price hikes) that the Steam Machine was going to be way too high based on their comments to press.
I can't see the Steam Machine costing under $1k right now, and I expect it to be closer to $1200.
Steam set up a sales queue for the deck, so scalping wasn’t an huge issue with them. You can only get them through steam.
The price is another issue…
