    I have been assuming they had stock set aside for some kind of Machine + Controller bundle.

      That is what I’ve been holding out for, but what the heck is that bundle going to cost? Seems like the price will be not worth it if you already have PC and consoles.

        Probably quite a lot lol. But was the Steam Machine going to make senss for pre-existing PC owners at the OG price either? Ever since their announcement I’ve been convinced that it’s targeted towards newbies getting into the scene as a good enough “just buy this one” kinda deal. Or maybe as a TV box for people with a good desktop already.

        I was assuming $1000 CAD originally for the Machine, I’m gonna throw out a guess for funsies here of $1600 CAD now. So a bundle might be 1700. Total conjecture but I want it in writing if I’m accurate lol.

          It was definitely going to replace my Xbox Series X as my TV box. M$ has shit the bed for the last time and I’m not interested in giving that ecosystem any more of my money.

          If the Steam machine really is crazy expensive I’ll likely hold onto my X for years to come and eventually switch to an Apple TV or something.

            Unfortunately you may be holding onto that Xbox because I was damn near dead on
