I never even bought a VR set yet, I've been waiting for an index upgrade forever to finally get into VR.

I just hope the price is low enough that it isn't an absurd purchase, but too high for most scalper assholes.

Where would you say the Index has fallen behind, and what about the Frame is better? Isn't the lack of room tracking a big drawback of the Frame vs the Index?

Same. I sold mine nearly a year ago in anticipation. Can't wait to spend a dumb amount of money on a new toy.

This is more of a side-grade. I was hoping for an actual Index 2.

And the next shift will be when they use ARM for the Steam Deck 2 once FEX has a lot of games/quirks worked out

Doesn't it come with its own WiFi access point dongle thingy?

For those of us that didn't follow VR, which controllers are drift prone.

From a non-VR perspective, the switch controller I own suck and drift. Is it that bad as well on that front?

The only concrete information we've gotten was in the interviews when it was announced, where we were promised "less than Valve Index". Unfortunately that's rather vague, as it's unclear whether they meant Index, Index+controllers, or Index+controllers+tracking stations.

I'm assuming the price will be approximately what Index+Controllers is, maybe a bit more. You can see those prices in your region by looking up the Valve Index on steam.

It sounds like the machine will have a few versions, presumably just different specs so that's up in the air. With the stocking issues that I'm sure will affect all 3 I don't expect any kind of bundle right away so 99 USD for the controller. The frame has more going for it than my hp reverb g2 and that was 600 years back. I'd have to assume at least 1000, maybe upwards of 1500?

So maybe 2600 on the upper end if I guess the machine is 1000? I don't know though because ram is still sky high so my brain isn't wired for that.

I mean its gonna ship with KDE so lets see what it ends up looking like
