Having only one steam machine at $500 seemed fine to me, but adding 12 more with half of them over $1,000? If you're going to spend that much, you're better off just building your own PC.

8 RepliesThe $499 Steam Machines are actually more powerful than the Xbox One and PS4. It's actually a really good for their price. It's a shame that PC players won't buy them because they already have a PC and console players won't buy them because they prefer Xbox One and PS4. Oh well. They were a bad idea from the start.

I think old lemon head is right. Between the price and a crappy controller I don't think it's going so well. I mean for the price can I just buy a pretty decent PC

1 ReplyEdited by BerzerkCommando: 1/8/2014 9:55:04 AMIt's a good thing Valve most likely has money to recover from this because it's going to fail hard. Since there doesn't seem like a market for these things the price sure doesn't help. Every price that's not a 3 digit number you can build one hell of a gaming PC for what they're asking. Really up to $6,000 for that one. You can build a tank PC for that price. [quote]$499. 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive,[/quote] My laptop has the same amount of ram and a 750 gig hard drive. It cost $600, but still. This model is not going to last you all that long unless you upgrade.

A few of the portable ones would be appealing to me if I had more money to blow.

Edited by Bloodylaser: 1/8/2014 4:12:39 PMI'll be honest the Xbox One and PS4 will beat the steam machine because steam users won't bother to buy one because of their high end gaming PC's

I should probably go to bed but I'd rather play patty cake with the mirror.

1 ReplyI don't know much about the Steam Machines, but that video makes me think they are just a fancy case for some very traditional PCs... is there more to it than that?
