What are we thinking for price? Digital Foundry has a video on it with hands on impressions, one of the guys there is hoping it's $399, thinking $499 won't be competitive at those specs.

$399 would be crazy. It's gpu isn't as powerful as the ps5, but it's still comparable and that's a now $549 machine. Plus it's a PC. I don't see how a $399 price, even for the 512gb model, is close to feasible.

$499 would still be a very good price also.

Apparently the BOM is around $425 for 512GB version. The BOM for Steam Deck (LCD) is estimated at $300 for 256GB, and its MSRP is $400.

If the estimates are correct I'd expect the price to be between $500 and $550, so pretty much the same as PS5. Add $100-ish for the 2TB SKU.
