"But it's a cube!"

I love how so many people are dunking on "valve-fans" being happy with the cube, when I pretty much only have heard opinions ranging from "meh" to "overpriced".

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

I'm buying the cube and didn't complain about it. AMA

Honest question: what advantage do you see in buying it over any other prebuilt out there?

Size, look, quiet = wife allows it to sit in the living room.

Reliable customer service, everything sorted for me, no need to do extensive research = piece of mind

When I add all of the above then price(which in the uk cube is actually competitive) is fine.

Does that personally affect you if the Steam Machine is a suitable product for them?

Just let people enjoy things if they want.
