There should be a “no RAM, no storage” option.
Valve managed to make a system that can possibly outperform a PS4 for $1050 plus tax plus whatever a controller costs.
The PS4 can also play DVDs, Blu-ray’s and comes with a controller.

Who the fuck has physical media in 2026? I have vinyl records, but no CDs, DVDs or BluRay.. Fundimentally its a little linux system, so a USB bluray drive off amazon should just work.
But yes, a ram and diskless version would be nice.
You don’t have to know the people that have physical media to know that it is valuable.
It just gives the old console even more value. It’s a 1080p system with a massive library of great games at dirt cheap prices.
I don’t know how Valve could have dropped the ball any worse.
