At this price a gaming PC is probably a better option.

Time to Klarna that puppy and AfterPay the games!🤑

I have a regular PS5 on my desk that I don't play much. I might actually sell it off since it's worth more now than when I bought it. The world is crazy right now

@mookie

That’s nuts. Liked used cars from 2021.

@mookie did they become more expensive?

Yup! It’s nuts. I believe it’s the second time too.
@mookie just in time for steam machine to enter the market!

Unfortunately, Valve is re-evaluating the pricing on the Steam Machine because of RAM and storage pricing.

Valve Steam Machine falls victim to global memory shorage

The global memory shortage strikes again.

@mookie yeah, but with the ps5 price increase the steam machine (with the new ram costs) doesn't seem so expensive in comparison (and a better deal)

With pricing not fixed yet, I don’t think we can say this yet. There was a listing that showed that the Steam Machine could be at our above PS5 Pro prices.

Steam Machine pricing soars past PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X in new retailer listing — 1TB SKU shatters $1,000 barrier

Valve's console-like PC could set a new benchmark for premium gaming hardware.
