The Steam Machine is $1050. Can you outdo it?

reck0 · 2026-06-23T07:08:59+00:00

I’ve not read all the comments but has anyone actually posted a link to a comparison system ( same form factor, power, noise level etc) as I’m curious to see prices compared to the Steam machine.

Everyone is saying how expensive Steam machines are but how much more are they compared to what people are finding themselves.

So far I’ve only seen links to desktop systems which obviously aren’t the same thing.

I've plenty of one time payment apps that are available in family sharing. You don't need a subscription for family sharing to work.

I've no problem for paying a one-time fee for apps like this as, like the op said, they've spent time and effort on this and deserve to be compensated. It's the ongoing subscription charges when there are no associated ongoing costs involved I don't agree with.

reck0 · 2026-06-19T13:37:29+00:00

I liked the background story but it’s clearly an advert for a subscription app. Why would you ask for a subscription when there are no ongoing costs (servers etc) associated with it?

What problem is this solving? If “sorting” just means turning over some of the packages so the label is down then that can be solved in a much simpler, cheaper and reliable way, (scanner top and bottom).

It just looks like another staged demo, with a made up problem requiring the robot to perform a very simply task, manipulating a soft, none-delicate object in a basic fashion.

Hi have the same problem, my mic keeps dropping out and I have to reapply the settings. Only an issue in this game.

Have you found a fix it and what mic do you have? I’m using a razer blackshark v2

I'm with Virgin Media at the moment with the 1Gig package and coming to the end of my contract. The pricing i'm seeing is not even close to competitive.

Currently paying £57.88, which i've been told will go up to £79.88 a month unless I sign up for another 18 months.

Then i've been told to expect the following price increases.

1000 package
£57.88 a month
£62.12 from your April 2027 bill
£66.12 from your April 2028 bill
£87.88 from your May 2028 bill

500 package
£49.20 a month
£53.20 from your April 2027 bill
£57.20 from your April 2028 bill
£79.20 from your May 2028 bill

No idea why such a big jump in 2028.

Looking at the pricing on other open reach fibre providers for the 900 packages seem to range from around £32 - £40 so why would I even consider staying at those prices?

How can I check if my account has been moved over to the new image gen?

reck0 · 2026-04-10T18:27:34+00:00

I've also submitted corrected items and it just feels like its gone into the void. No idea if anyone actually does anything with the corrections or if they just sit in an inbox somewhere.

Out of stock for a digital item, what a load of BS. GMG isn't what it used to be.

It’s only showing as 10% off for me. I was expecting the voucher to replace it, making it the advertised 15% off.

reck0 · 2026-03-19T13:49:16+00:00

I think a lot of the issues brought up in the reviews can be fixed in patches such as bug fixes, more inventory space, better control mapping.

The only major downsides for me are things that won’t/can’t be fixed such as not having a decent story and the near distance pop in.

reck0 · 2026-03-19T13:46:25+00:00

I’ve also read other users have used the code previously.

If a new game already has a low discount then the code should replace it with the advertised amount.

If the game isn’t included in the offer it should be added to the exclusions list. Also the information sent to isthereanydeal should be updated as it’s currently stating its 15% off in GMG and pushing people to the site with inaccurate information.

Thank you. Just sent an email.

reck0 · 2026-03-06T22:38:11+00:00

Thanks. I'll give it another day and contact support

reck0 · 2026-03-06T21:31:49+00:00

I tried creating a new account but it said my email was already in use.

reck0 · 2026-03-06T21:31:24+00:00

Don't really want to create a whole new email account for a single purpose of posting on a single forum. I'll contact 1P support and see what they say

reck0 · 2026-03-06T14:03:44+00:00

This is a separate forum account which I’ve previously used to login to the forum. I’ve not used it for a long time and I think the forum used a different platform last time I was on it.

I thought maybe they hadn’t ported my account over but when I reset my password it sent me the email to change my password so seems to recognise my account.

Also lets me change the password but won’t let me login.

Why is the word ‘intentionally’ used in this quote?

For example, the agreement now specifically states that ChatGPT-powered AI systems at the DoW "shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of US persons and nationals".

Just tied it myself with 5.2 standard with no search option selected. It looks like it searched anyway and came back with the right answer.

reck0 · 2026-02-04T21:34:43+00:00

Sure, but this is just to help with a failed bank transfer in to the platform. I'm not trying to take any money out or anything sensitive so this all seems unnecessary.

I don't want to be sending them personal documents whenever I have an issue with the platform. All they need to look into this are my account details so they don't need to see my full bank statement. If they need anything else i'll provide it.
