Alas, I suspect that by the time it comes out, I won’t be able to afford it.

Which is a shame, because I would fucking love one. It would be the perfect gaming platform for my household (I prefer the deck for my own play; being able to just chill in bed and play while my back recovers from life is too damn sweet) since we all prefer most games as they exist on PC, when they aren’t console exclusive.

But damn, the price tag that was being floated a few months ago was at the upper end of the amount of debt I’m willing to take on for entertainment, no matter how long it would last. And I would have to go into debt because damn, fixed income bullshit isn’t great for mom essential purchases like that. I can’t just lay out several hundred at once for anything without sacrificing something else. Doing that for a gaming device would be impossible.
