The last time we saw a price spike like this was when the Chinese adhesives factory caught fire and burned to the ground, those adhesives were used in all kinds of chips.

2013 - but even then it wasn't this bad.

There were also supply chain problems during Covid.

I'm really concerned that when (not if) the AI bubble pops it's going to take a lot of companies with it.

Removing as a duplicate, OP beat you by 17 minutes.

They will sell out instantly and this blocks the scalpers.

Steam Deck works well and has 16GB of unified RAM with only 1GB automatically assigned to VRAM.

Having 8GB dedicated should be a huge improvement.

Apparently supports NVMe 2230 or 2280 sizes. You will have to remove the 512 though.

That's been true for years now! 😉

Have you seen PS5 Pro prices lately? $900?

$100 cheaper, but can it be done in this form factor? 🤔

"Size

152 mm tall (148 mm without feet), 162.4 mm deep, 156 mm wide"

5.98" tall (5.83" without feet), 6.39" deep, 6.14" wide.

To put it in perspective, PC FANS are 120mm...

Yup, yup, and a USB-C.

I grabbed one of these for the Steam Deck:

Just because you connect to a 4K TV doesn't mean is has to play in 4K.

I've connected my Steam Deck to my 8K TV.

Pretty sure it's a troll, no way Valve would let a 3rd party announce that.

First - THANK YOU for the heads up! I was hoping when I got the dBrand Companion Cube notification just after midnight.

Second - Anyone notice the controller bundles save you $20 over buying the controller individually? Not so sad my controller reservation is AWOL.

My guess is part of the reason for the controller shortages is they reserved a bunch to do these bundles.

Knowing is half the battle!

I mean, speaking for myself, I already bought the consoles back in 2020. I bought a Steam Deck to access non-console games.

This does what the Steam Deck does only moreso.

And if you get the controller bundle, you save $20 over buying it separately.
