Wanted to switch from console but can't pre order because I haven't ordered anything from steam prior to April 27th. At this point I'm just going to stop gaming.
if you are a bit more flexible in the formfactor, you can build a small pc for the budget.
The biggest downside would be the missing HDMI CEC
That's unfortunately in place to stop scalpers. Realistically, once demand dies down, you'll be able to order anonymously/with a new account like most pre-existing steam Hardware.
It really does make sense. I wish there could be a line for console ascenders but obviously that's not plausible without scalpers hopping in.
Shit. Maybe try to find a free game to add to your library? That might do it, might not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
