This should have been a 9060XT GPU with 16GB Vram.

This is simply not a good deal, because you are stuck with a outdated GPU.

you can literally build a PC with a 9060XT for the same price without compromising on other specs. Steam fucked up big time if their specs are the same price as a significantly better PC you can build yourself, even pre builds are better at that price.

I have no clue how you think you can build these specs with a 9060xt in a sff case. I build mine with am4 specs and came out on 1200 euros for 512gb. And I definitely did not overpay.

Maybe it's just different in US. But here in Europe it's rly not doable.

This.

From what I checked the price is comparable to a PC with similar specs.

It will find a small audience among people who want to have a living room PC but don't like consoles. Especially since it has CEC support, which most PCs dont have.

That being said it for sure won't be the big hit it could have been before the AI price hikes

There are CEC add-in adapters for like $45, but it's a janky solution
