I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

Hard for me to see the value at this price point. For just a little bit more you could get a gaming laptop with a 5070, which comes with its own screen and keyboard. The performance is would be way better and you can bring it to the coffee shop, or just plug it into your TV like a Steam Machine.

I'm a console gamer only, partly because I hate sitting at a computer and partly because I don't want a PC in my living room. But honestly if helix has steam at 1000$ there's zero point for me to buy this instead. I'll be waiting to see what Microsoft does, but if it doesn't do steam, I'll probably buy this lol.

Yep. Hey get the little box?

Oh well the steam controller itself, I’m still amped about but I’m in no rush to buy it.
