Fun fact: They’re not eating it, they just chop bits off for their little siblings.

What about, hear me out here, what about if a man, like an old man, and not just any old man, a scientist, a old man scientist in a labcoat, what about, wait for it, what about if he were to, hold on, if he were to, here it comes, turn himself into a pickle?! Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

“Not nuts bee 'cause I’m allergic”

Why are these kinds of comments always a confession?

Hey, it was thanks to these kinds of people that I was able to buy a literally new Galaxy S24 for $300 like a month after release.

Just jump right into 7. 8 is kinda like 7 but more action oriented. Still pretty fun. Then go RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake. They’re the best in the entire series. Then play original 4 again and realize I lied to you and that one is still the best.

Ethan, NO.

Yes, you are definitely bringing nothing constructive with your goalpost moving.

No, it’s a thread about the market differences between the PS3 and the Steam Machine. You’re just being so irrational in your obsession with being right that you don’t know what you’re talking about or with whom.

What’s stopping them from throwing a blanket over the shelf and just posting the same notice on the blanket? That’s what I mean by toothless law.

Ah, brilliant argument. Shall I take this as your agreement that $750 is not console pricing?

It’s not a console in the same way the Steam Deck isn’t a Switch competitor. I get what you’re saying but putting “console price” at over $750 would just mesh it with PC pricing and then the distinction would be meaningless.

You’re quoting someone else.

Yes, it is riskier. That’s not my point, though. It is that telling people “just don’t do that” isn’t helpful.

Umm, actually. All proprietary software is unethical and introduces huge risks to your PC. People should stop playing any game that has such closed closed source.

Just realized that without the music, the chorus sounds like “come at me, bro”

That PC at microcenter is much faster than the Steam Machine.

Here’s some benchmarks for the 7600M, which has the exact same specs as the GPU in the Steam Machine:

Here’s some benchmarks for a 9060XT which is the GPU on your link:

And here’s some benchmarks for a desktop 7600 which is another card people are comparing the Steam Machine to:

In case anyone doesn’t wanna wade through the terrible way notebookcheck presents information, I’ll post the numbers for CyberPunk High Preset at 1080P to give you an idea of the performance difference. Nothing particular about why I chose that game, it’s just the first I found that was on all 3 links:

• RX7600M: 62.3 FPS
• RX7600: 90.1 FPS
• RX9060XT: 127.2 FPS

If we set the 7600M as 100%, then the 7600 and 9060XT are 144.6% and 204.1% respectively.

I think people believe the Steam Machine will be way faster and that’s why they’re coming up with these outrageous prices.

Only one of those 3 consoles is comparable to the Steam Machine. You can’t grab a product from a different segment in the market and lump it in with the rest just because they’re the same kind of product. If that were the case, I could just look at a ThinkCentre and say “see? $200 is PC pricing” but thatd be insane — nobody looking to buy a ThinkCentre would ever consider a Steam Machine, and nobody looking to buy the disc or Pro versions of the PS5 will consider a Steam Machine either. So yes, your failure to consider market segments means that you are wrong.
