      For a gaming PC in 2026 that’s not actually bad. Pretty sure I paid more than base for an Xbox one series x a few years back we got for a friend’s graduation gift when they were particularly rare.

        For an uneducated consumer (which is most) it looks like a really bad deal when a PS5 is $800 or whatever and includes the controller.

    I really question why I would choose this over a 5060 Ti gaming laptop or PowerSpec rig for roughly the same price as the 2tb w/controller option. I guess it looks good, but I can use creative cabinet placement to hide a tower or laptop if I need to. For now, I am not sure it’s for me, but it looks good, although maybe not that controller.

    I fully expect the next-next Gen Consoles to be similarly priced due to the whole shortages thing for the AI Gold rush.

    I also can’t wait to see it torn down and to find out how repairable it is.
