$1500 USD at least. Likely more.
They were targeting sub-$1000 before things got crazy. If it was going to be exactly $1000 and it sees the 40% jump the Steam Machine did, that would be $1400. I think storage and RAM are a lower percentage of the Frame's cost which would theoretically push it down further, but then again, that may be countered by the market continuing to get worse. Still, I'll be very surprised if they price it a ton higher than $1500.
$999
(Obviously not, I just want to put that out into the universe. 😭)
Something something let's manifest our own reality! Seriously tho, please be this much
Come on, kids. Let's all grab hands and say together: "I believe in affordable prices!"
$2000 :(
I'll have to pass on it. Wish meta weren't the main ones making VR headsets. I've wanted to play Half Life Alyx but entry cost has been meta or pay more, and I've opted for passing on VR.
