Pretty exciting announcement! I was thinking about building a new rig and retiring my current machine with a 3080 to the TV. This might change that.

What I'm more curious about is how are the folks at Microsoft reacting to this news, since it sounds like the next Xbox was essentially going to be a PC. With Valve doing it first and the fact that the Steam store is so huge, I'm imagining this makes them a bit nervous.

don't wait for this, get or build a normal pc that you can change parts anytime you want, you will not regret it.

If I were 20 years older, I'd be happy to spec out a mini-ITX build. But with a 3 year old running my life, my time is limited and if the price of this is right, it might make more sense for where my current life is at.

Never buying Microsoft after the recall bullshit. Also not paying monthly subscription to enable Internet on my device
