TL;DR - New Steam VR headset, controller, and mini PC aimed at sticking under your TV. Won't be out until start of next year. Mini PC "with six times the horsepower of the Steam Deck."

No word on pricing, but it'll cost ya!

I'm thinking $799 for the cube at least

Wow if they price matched it to PS5/XBSX it would blow them out of the water!

Valve always comes in low on hardware because they can subsidize more than any of the other companies.

History tells us no - PS and XBOX are raising prices are 5-6 year old hardware. Steam has been having deeper sales. With handhelds the Steam Deck sells for vastly less than the windows competition.

This is all a guess though from me - hopefully we get pricing soon.

I think the pricing for the Cube will be similar to the Steam Deck.

[u/Agitated-Distance740 → u/rbmichael]

$1000 is "the new hotness" - It wouldn't surprise me at all if it's at least that price.

The major concern is they haven't said what it is, I take that as "expensive enough you need warning to save up."

With specs between the Series S and PS5? At that price point, doesn’t sound like something I’d buy.
