Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. (arstechnica.com)

The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

Ps5 controller is like $70, the Steam Controller has more features than that, and the OG Steam Controller was pretty expensive. I’d be shocked if it’s under $100. I’m expecting it in the $150-$200 range. But we’ll see, I’d love to be proven wrong

Wasn't the OG steam controller $50 ?

Yeah, it was. So it had more features than most controllers at the time and I think was still cheaper.

I got the steam link for ~$10 but that was after it was discontinued.

Cool, let's have a gentleperson's bet. I'm going sub $100.
