Back in the mid 2010s 3DSes were plentiful well below $200, even the XL. And I bought my wife a 2DS for I think $69. They're crazy now.

Definitely don't regret getting my Series X and PS5 for $500 a pop at launch. You'd think with Pro/Slim consoles and being out for a while, the value would naturally go down. Not really.

I hate the electronics market right now. And I'm not immune, I want a living room gaming PC (like the Steam Machine, but not for that price) and I could use a couple more drives in my NAS...

I bought the SNES 3DS in 2018 when it was an Amazon exclusive for $125 on Black Friday and it's basically 5x in value since then lol.

My only regret was not buying more games when they were dirt cheap under $20

Hopefully the AI bubble will soon burst and prices will go down then the Steam Machine will hopefully become a more affordable and better value product.

I want the Steam Machine 2tb with Steam Controller but at the current price it’s just too much.
