at $999 who the hell is gonna buy it D:

A PC Gamer that already spends $1500 in their PC's, but has to pay more due to manufacturing markets.If it is a $999 piece of hardware, that is running as good as a $1500 PC (and it is certainly possible), I'll put the money down.

Problem with this, is that it is rumors. Valv eisn't stupid, it would never put a $999 console to compete with $200-$400 consoles. PS3's and XBox console are actually worth about $1000-$1200 a piece (first generation), and they purposely shoot the price down to make them competitive. They only make games after their 3rd or 4th year, and only due to games.

Current technology trends have proven that people are willing to pay shitloads of money for shitty hardware: Tons paid $599 for an iphone, and then dislodged an additional $400-500 for an iPad, when the iPhone does exactly the same thing as an iPad, plus more. (that's over $999). The people paying this money isn't even using 50% of their purchase, but the marketing is so great, it works.

...Valve isn't stupid. It has maintained itself as a self published company, for a long time, in a very hostile environment. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt.
