If they can do that in face of the Xbox price increases, it should be a home run. But, you can't get NCAA FB on Steam.

Considering the performance issues with some games if you only have 8GB OF VRAM , it's curious how this is going to work on the big screen. If they'd announced two years ago, it might make sense, but I don't understand the total system RAM at 16GB. Even before the recent DRAM price increases, it doesn't seem wise.

So far the price estimates I have seen are $800+, but nobody really knows.

Check out Bazzite, if you haven’t already. It’s a gaming focused Linux distro very much in the spirit of SteamOS.

The build cost estimates are around $450.00 plus packaging...so at $500. they would be barely breaking even. Equivalent PC build would be $700-900.

Im going to guess $600.00

Looks great.

Competitive price with PS5 Pro, but waaaay better
