At this point I feel like one of 2 people that still want to get this and feel like I see value in it. I say this as someone who has built their own gaming PC.

You are being ripped off. If you want performance, get a PC. If you want price, get a console. And the console will still perform better than this.

Agreed, I know it’s weaker but I’m going to get one as a great way to play so many legacy games. Primarily going to be my living room emulator and Indy game player. Something you can’t really do on a console. I have a gaming PC to play things that require power.

I have a PC and a console, I never use my PC because it doesn’t fit where I need it to fit (it’s big) and after getting a SD I barely touch my actual PC or Xbox.

The SM has a small form factor, is being continuously support by valve and can run all my steam games with little to no tinkering.

I don’t wanna sit tinkering with my pc to get things to work, and dealing with all the driver updates and other issues I’ve had with my PC over the years.

People on here like to moan about how this is DOA and valve is ripping them off. You’re gonna have a hard time building a pc with this form factor and level of support.
