The Machine will apparently be about the price of "an entry level PC".

The Frame will "not cost more than the Index".

Not more than the index is a low bar considering it's about the most expensive of the mainstream headsets

Literally every VR headset released this year is over 1k usd. Only meta (and now valve) care about budget headsets

[–] croizat@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

The only ones that released this year are enthusiast premium brands, unless I'm missing any. Last year had the quest and the HTC which I'll admit I was wrong about, I thought it was lower than exactly 1k

True, but that's all we got right now. We have to wait and see.
