I don't think he's arguing value from an actual specs/hardware viewpoint, but from a usage viewpoint. If you already have a PC that can run Steam games to begin with, which you likely do if you actually have Steam games, then it adds nothing but the novelty of being able to play them portable. But that novelty likely isn't worth the price to the casual consumer since it doesn't actually offer anything unique like actual dedicated game hardware does, and likewise there's more unknowns and potential headaches when it comes to compatibility. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
