The worst thing about the hardware unveiling is the endless posts about pricing 😮💨
Lol, not sure if you've noticed but the US is in a pretty shaky situation economically. Of course there's consumer anxiety about the cost of a luxury item.
I am aware. Not sure what that has to do with my comment.
If it was going to be cheap, they'd have told us. They've prepared us for the worst, and we've still got people huffing the copium thinking the Steam Frame will be price-competitive with the Quest 3...

Not true. The problem is there are a lot of moving targets in the electronics market right now, so even Valve doesn't know what they're going to be able to sell it for.
I find it amusing how much discussion there is around the price of this when it only ships to like 1/4th of the world. If it would be available in stores like nintendo, I doubt people there would be much issue regarding high price.
Im not sure I follow your logic. What would shipping location have to do with complaints about price?
That most of the world isn't even going to have access to it, no matter the price. Could be imported but that's not cheap and no warranty on a custom built is terrible.
That most of the world isn’t even going to have access to it, no matter the price.
What relevance is this to how the price is recieved?
More than that, it is probably the case that excluding china (because of tight government control), that 1/4th probably covers 4/5ths of the reachable customers for this device.
That's the first batch, if it will get traction it will be shipped to the rest of the world in no time
Steamdeck still hasn't been available in many places :( let's hope. With how pc prices are looking, I just want a decent console that can run my steam library and minecraft.
