- sounds incredible. If final specs are anything like those then next-gen consoles will look like the toys they are. And I really want to try that pad.

Any idea on the price?

People should never think that they are the same. The fact is used game sales is not evil and people have the right to buy or sell used games. The company already made the money from the game anyways but piracy is bad because the company never makes cash from it at all. It's sad when you have some people say that used gaming is worse then piracy. I mean they can't be serious.

There's a good article on that here - http://www.usgamer.net/articles/how-much-will-a-steam-box-cost-you

"The Best Steam Machine, using the high-end specs, comes to a total of

$1,577.46

for an Intel Core i7-4770 3.4 GHz Quad-Core processor, 16 GB of DDR3-1600 memory, a 1 TB hard drive, and an Nvidia GTX Titan 6 GB video card."

"The Good Steam Machine, using the low-end specs, comes to a total of

$557.01

for an Intel Core i3-3240 3.4 GHz Dual Core Processor, 16 GB of DDR3-1600 memory, a 1 TB hard drive, and an Nvidia GTX 660 3 GB video card."

With mass-production and subsidies? I would guess they're going to be pretty close to the PS4's and Xbox One's price points, which is insane.
