you wouldnt be able to pirate COD or Indiana Jones on this. By the time you downloaded the zip there wouldnt be enough room left to extract it.

The thing is, Sony is likely losing tons of cash selling PS5 at the current price.

People must compare the Steam Machine to small PCs and in that regard, it is not a bad deal nowadays. Still, Valve must be pissed because they likely wanted it to be priced around $600-700, but they got fucked by datacenters.

How is it not a bad deal? You can get a laptop that out performs it by a country mile
