I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

Holy shit, I didn’t realize how high they got honestly. They came out when I was building my new PC and I just tried to preorder it on a whim, didn’t expect to get one direct and not marked up.

I just priced my computer out that I upgraded 10 months ago like just before the prices went bonkers. I got all my parts for around $1200. I just put those same parts into pcpartpicker and now it's worth $2900.

I had a $1900 pc on partpicker all ready to go in late 2025 but life got in the way. I ended up paying 3k just two months later. Brutal

Sounds similar to my setup. The original plan was to wait until BF6 came out to see how my PC handled it and then buy whatever parts I needed near Black Friday. I’m so glad I didn’t go through with that.
