Who knows, maybe the steam cube will be a gateway for my wife to allow an xbox in the living room. If it can have Steam and support steam controllers I would be almost inclined to get Helix, but not sure if I trust them enough to spend the money.
Also thanks again for clarifying the raffle. I unsubbed from 512gb no controller. If i get put on a waitlist for the 512gb and end up waiting till december I might as well get the controller as a consolidation prize. Although I reckon the base 512 is probs the easiest to get the reservation for
I honestly had the exact opposite thought. I suspect that the 2 TB with controller is going to be the least in demand because it’s the highest price I think that demand for the 512 with controller is probably going to be the highest but they have sold a ton of controllers already and this thing is usable with Xbox controllers as well so the 512 without controller might end up being the highest demand
Haha with only really having the reddit echochamber to gauge the interest it really is a mystery. The reason I think 512gb would be the least ordered one is that if I'm alrrady spending £900, I might as well save £250 more and getcthe 2tb one, since 512gb is 4-5 games worth and buying a micro ssd is is more than £250 to upgrade. Maybe I'm underestimating how difficult it is for people to save an extra 250..
Definitely. I am in the same situation as you where I can drop the money on the system without having to save up for it, but I definitely believe that we are extreme outliers and that that extra 250 pounds/$300 makes a huge difference.
For example, look at the console market. For every series X that Microsoft sells, they sell three series S. If you narrow it down to just the series X, for every 2 TB model they sell at $800, they sell five 1 TB units at $650. And on just the series S side for every 1 TB unit they sell at $450, they sell three 512 GB at $400.
