Sure. The sad thing was, we were not a wealthy family and that thing was expensive as shit. I felt bad asking her to go the store and replace it. But I had some fun with it. |

Isn't that what Apple always does? Take some fail attempt, finally make it well, and introduce it into mainstream. I have mocked Apple "superlatives" for years now, but it seems at least lately they have dropped this type of marketing (while Samsung caught it ).
And the use of the technology is fine here too, but claiming this is the coolest thing about the controller is laughable.

I can't be bothered searching where I read it but basically Valve confirmed Steam Link, the 1080p@60 streaming device they will be selling, can stream whatever you want, not just Steam games. Even your desktop.

surprisingly no one brought it up yet but.... anyone seen the specs? these 460-500$ machines are absolutely laughable. i3 dual core with integrated gpu or 1-2gb very low end dedicated gpu. ps4 and xbone are like supercomputers compared to these pieces of shit. i'm sorry but everyone who had arguments how pc gaming doesn't cost more than consoles...
only at around 1000$ mark you start to get something that MIGHT be close to ps4 performance

Prebuilt PCs tend to be expensive. Some of those are extra expensive due to their form factor as well.

Well it has always been the case if you bought pre-build shite. So I wouldn't use these as a metric for pc gaming costing more than consoles. I don't think one would compare 'gam0r PCeehz ' from Alienware with custom build either to make a point how expensive it is. 
My reaction was instantly: overpriced shite when I saw a few of them.

Soon in the 'chiv trades games' thread: [H]500 TF2 keys [W] NextBox
Them prices though! Seems Gabe is using Computer Discount as supplier 
Oh well, it's not that I have interest in these sorts of things anyway, I don't even own a TV. I'm only partially interested in VR for now, although we're still at the beginning.

The reason that they are expensive is, in my opinion ofc, because of their mobility. I can't say that they want to have a war with consoles but i'm sure they gonna effect the laptop sales.
A decent laptop begins with the price 1000 usd and even that laptop doesn't give much of a performance. For example with the same money(or less) you can buy Maingear DRIFT or Asus ROG and it would be much much better(well, at least for me).
And ofc if you want, you can say fuck to all of that and buy yourself a sff rig.

Sorry if this have been answered but I have a question:
Steam machines are supposed to be connected to the big TV on the living room. Right... Does Valve know that a huge number of games don't have UI scale implemented? For example all Total War games are unplayable on a big TV without font mods. The machines ofc will not be able to scale the game if there isn't a built-in-game option and many games can't scale the text because of their engine limitation (Crusader Kings, EU 4 etc..).
What will be Valve's advice/solution? "Play 1m away from your 47'' or 55'' TV"?

If you buy already assembled all-in-one PCs then , yeah, sure but if you get all components separately and know where to buy best then it is considerably cheaper than getting premade PCs

2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

Yes. At least in my country.
Besides, most of these premade PCs are a mix of good hardware and crap hardware that shops want to get rid of lol
Anyways, why some of PC master race members buy premades is beyond me.. Where is fun in that? I think they'd better get a console

So... We can have a 350$ pc that can run witcher like ps4 !!!!!
But only in USA, only made of used parts. Here pc like that is about 900$-1000$ (new parts). Ps4 is certainly cheaper. And polish currency have nothing to do with anything.
But even my 2yo pc can manage witcher 3 at ultra (minus dumb hairworks) 1080p with solid 30 without any drops. So looks better than ps4 and have better, more stable framerate. But that's not fair too. My pc might be 2yo but 7870, ssd, 8gb ram and 2500k were top notch gear when I got em(ending of 2012). 2500k still is great, 7870 not really but I got it overclocked pretty well and it manages to to meet halfway of 7950 and 7970 performance somehow. It only lacks ram. 2gb is not enough these days. 2500k tho? still manages greatly at 4.5 ghz. it almost pisses me of, because I would like to go matx but can't because its impossible to find mobo for this old socket and I don't want to change cpu before real 8threaded intels are here

No, it damn well doesn't.
These are actual, current prices. About €580, brand new parts and this is 100% capable of running shit at 1080p without huge compromises. Certainly capable of running W3 at 1080p30.
€580 = ~$650 - and that's keeping VAT in. Without VAT (i.e. U.S. prices), this system comes out to 580 / 1.21 = €479 = ~$540. Is it as cheap as a PS4? Not quite, but this runs many things better than a PS4 and it's very close to what MS had the balls to ask for their piece of shit at launch ($499). |

" indeed.
Just because it's "$1000" in Polish tissue paper, doesn't mean anything.. you know what Yankland is like... fuckers get all the good deals
