$1300 to $2500? Wtf are with these prices. Keep your Exbox.

Unpopular opinion: I won't consider a PC handheld without touchpads like the Steam Deck.

This colorway is cool though, reminds me of the limited edition Steam Deck OLED with the transparent case.

Guessing the price will be about the same for PS6. With a whole 128GB of internal storage.

An extra 300 for the OLED model is a bit steep considering everything else is pretty much the same.

Blame AI data centers for the price. But soon, those AI data centers will be doing the playing for you. You just have to pay—that’s all. No playing needed.

It basically is a PC package in portable mode which I predicted every since SteamDeck launch would be the higher focus of future gaming compared to consoles. The only real difference is you could use physical on a console, well could.

they are doing a great job of killing the video game industry with prices like these. ill stick with retro gaming at these prices. no need to play AAA slop

Some really did overprice themselves for sure.

what. is this price.

this price is atrocious. whose gonna be buying this?

this is too much. even for ram crisis standards

AngryCinnabon · 2026-08-26T01:03:44+0100

this makes me think about the fact i got a legion go S for like 900 CAD (Z1E 32gb RAM SteamOS Model) since the performance lift from Z1E to Z2AI is pretty minor iirc. couldn't fathom paying any more than that for a handheld even if it has a fancy screen or 10 or so extra frames at max TDP. Is the S perfect itself? no, quite frankly i have some issues with it but it is a good backlog killer with no microslop taint on it and i plan to keep it for a good while. so wtf microslop and assus, 1200 USD is nuts.

I don't know if anyone caught the Easter egg, but the "X20" is a nod to the method they chose for marking up the price.

Don't let all this winning stop.
