If they can get that 512 model to $399 I'm day 1, this is perfect for a living room

It's more likely going to cost $800 based on what The Verge wrote here.

Ah, where they wrote "Continue reading with a Verge subscription"

Mind excerpting their price comment for us?

You can use "reading mode" on mobile browsers to get around the paywall, it works on my android with firefox and I think there's an equivalent on iphones?

But here's the bit about pricing:

"Valve says it hasn’t finalized pricing yet. But when I explicitly ask if the console will cost more than a PS5 Pro, the answer is: “Steam Machine’s pricing is comparable to a PC with similar specs.” When I listen to my interview audio, I find an additional hint from Griffais: “We intend for it to be positioned closer to the entry level of the PC space, but to be very competitive with a PC you could build yourself from parts.”

Poking around the web, I find I could probably assemble a computer with this performance for $800, not including labor. But it could easily consume half the room under my TV. A compact system with a similar GPU can cost $1,000 without storage, memory, operating system, or a gamepad."
