What if I don't wanna get shipped to El Salvador for throwing up gang signs?

Yes, you are definitely bringing nothing constructive with your goalpost moving.

No, it's a thread about the market differences between the PS3 and the Steam Machine. You're just being so irrational in your obsession with being right that you don't know what you're talking about or with whom.

What's stopping them from throwing a blanket over the shelf and just posting the same notice on the blanket? That's what I mean by toothless law.

Ah, brilliant argument. Shall I take this as your agreement that $750 is not console pricing?

It's not a console in the same way the Steam Deck isn't a Switch competitor. I get what you're saying but putting "console price" at over $750 would just mesh it with PC pricing and then the distinction would be meaningless.

You're quoting someone else.

Yes, it is riskier. That's not my point, though. It is that telling people "just don't do that" isn't helpful.

That PC at microcenter is much faster than the Steam Machine.

Here's some benchmarks for the 7600M, which has the exact same specs as the GPU in the Steam Machine:

Here's some benchmarks for a 9060XT which is the GPU on your link:

And here's some benchmarks for a desktop 7600 which is another card people are comparing the Steam Machine to:

In case anyone doesn't wanna wade through the terrible way notebookcheck presents information, I'll post the numbers for CyberPunk High Preset at 1080P to give you an idea of the performance difference. Nothing particular about why I chose that game, it's just the first I found that was on all 3 links:

• RX7600M: 62.3 FPS
• RX7600: 90.1 FPS
• RX9060XT: 127.2 FPS

If we set the 7600M as 100%, then the 7600 and 9060XT are 144.6% and 204.1% respectively.

I think people believe the Steam Machine will be way faster and that's why they're coming up with these outrageous prices.
