Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console
Jumbie@lemmy.zip 2 days agoLol. This is a damned lie or some strange rejection of reality. I can’t decide.

It really was, I migrated from console to pc around the beginning of the Xbox One/ps4 generation. It was more effort to hunt down parts and build a PC, for sure, but it was very doable to match console performance for the same price. These days though thanks in part to tariffs, and crypto mining, hardware prices are worse than they used to be.

List the parts you bought and we’ll compare to the price of that console generation.
I’m morbidly curious to see where this leads.

I built a PC that was more expensive and more powerful than consoles at the time, but did plenty of looking into different hardware prices. The important thing is prices at the time. You can feel free to do the digging if you want. Usually you’d end up with just slightly more expensive for the Base hardware, but with no online subscription cost that would make console more expensive long-term.

No. You made the claim. You supply the list. Or don’t.
