    There should be a “no RAM, no storage” option.

    Valve managed to make a system that can possibly outperform a PS4 for $1050 plus tax plus whatever a controller costs.

    The PS4 can also play DVDs, Blu-ray’s and comes with a controller.

      Who the fuck has physical media in 2026? I have vinyl records, but no CDs, DVDs or BluRay… Fundimentally its a little linux system, so a USB bluray drive off amazon should just work.

      But yes, a ram and diskless version would be nice.

        You don’t have to know the people that have physical media to know that it is valuable.

        It just gives the old console even more value. It’s a 1080p system with a massive library of great games at dirt cheap prices.

        I don’t know how Valve could have dropped the ball any worse.

          If it had an optical drive I wouldn’t be buying it.

          Straight up a waste of space and plastic and componentry.

          Its not 2010 any more, DVDs are gone bro.

            I don’t think you’re gonna buy the Steam Machine even without an optical drive.

            PS4 Pro is $210 on Amazon. With an optical drive that lets you borrow games. Rent games from a public library. Buy used games. In addition to movies and Blu-ray’s that are much higher quality than any streaming service unless you have worthless eyes and are some kind of child that thinks that time passing makes things inferior.

              It might be $210 bucks but I already have like 8k worth of games on Steam. Also, I wouldn’t buy a PS4 I’d just look in a landfill for a free one.

              There are no games on playstation, by comparison.

              I don’t buy optical media because I just steal 4k footage and watch it on a 4k panel that a PS4 can’t drive.

              I don’t know why you’re bothering to argue with me, unless you’re some sort of timetraveller from 2016. In which case, theres a terrible pandemic coming in about 4 years time. You should invest in face masks.

                You’re the one butthurt that people still use physical media and that an old console is a much better deal than Valve’s e-waste.

                You seem like the type of person that has many friends so I’m gonna let you go back to them. Go ahead and add another downvote to this message. You’re a true redditor.

                    How old are you? Are you not aware that you’re the one that responded to my comment and downvoted it?

                    Somehow I’m the one hurting your feelings now. Next time your panties get all bunched up, keep it to yourself.
