DOA. Maybe it’s not fair because it’d probably be $700 and in my budget if memory and storage had stayed steady instead of ballooned, but I’m not interested in this or the machine at the prices they are debuting at
I'm sure others are interested. $1000 is what I thought it'd cost too.

Wasn't there also supposed to be a sale on VR games today?
Joined the list for the 1TB. Guess I'll be selling some CS2 items. If the Jetset AK goes as well I may add well pick up the Vision Camera.

VR playing people - how much space do you need to use it? I have a place behind my PC where i can stand and move my arms around with hands out (barely) but that's about it. Feels like I should wait till i get a bigger gaming area to think about getting anything like this.
Valve recommends "For Room Scale VR, you will need at least 2m x 1.5m (6.5ft x 5ft) of free space."
I set mine up in the living room with a little bit larger area, about 6 x 8 feet and it's plenty

Ughhh. Guess im not getting one of these either.
Thrillseeker put up a pretty good hands-on report recently. I do a lot of sim driving in VR and I mainly just want to get off the Quest/Meta ecosystem. It was either this or the Pimax Crystal Light, and I think this is the more versatile machine.
I hope these won't sell out/queue up as much as Machines and Controllers do, since I can only safely afford it after a few months after a recent PC purchase.
But since this doesn't have competition like the Machine (if you hate Meta), I'm worried.

Well, considering all thats an incredible price. Youre getting 16 gigs of ram in it, thats actually like half of its price 💀. This is very heavily subsidized, theyre not making a penny of of it. Still as i said before im looking for a car right now and a used car is about 5 steam frames so i dont think i will have money for it for a while. Whelp. Also i have to tune up the car so thats prolly another 3k...
Had a VR headset but didn't really use it enough to justify the cost tbh. These are double the cost too.
If I had that much money to spend I think it would be better to spend it on a screen instead of a VR headset. Should look up screens actually, aren't they usually getting better/cheaper still unlike all other components? Could probably get a really nice screen for the cost of an RTXanything at this point.
Not that my current one is bad though. 1440p 144hz, think its only like 5 years old. Of course £1k could get something much better.
