Edit: fixed the title to match the article, I wrongly stated that Valve said the price was supposed to be $750, when that's just IGN's estimate base on Valve's statements.

I feel like 1200-1300 was probably likely before the price bump. I'm not confident it will come out under 15 at this point

[-] artyom@piefed.social 19 points 2 weeks ago

They said it would be cheaper than Index at the time, so no.

Yeah, that makes sense. If that's the case, then a 1300 ish range seems pretty likely assuming comparable price increases

[-] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

If we look at the Steam Deck, it got a ~43% price increase. If we apply that same increase to the $750 Index + controllers, you're looking at ~$1075.

Well they didn't say launch price...

[-] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They didn't say current price.

What are we doing here? This is all speculation anyway

[-] artyom@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Haha that's fair.

[-] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yea.... That was then.

If they had planned to have the machine at 750, then we can extrapolate from that a frame cost. Up from around 900.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yea.... That was then.

Yeah... That's what you said?
