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

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.

The entire index kit was 1000 before all the bullshit.. iirc, you could buy just the headset for like 650, because the base stations were like 100 each and the controllers were separate too. My memory is a little fuzzy on that.... But let's say 1000 for all of it. Putting the frame, with all extras at like.... 800 target price point before all the fascism scarcities, and considering the about price-doubling of ram, would put it at right about the same price as the steam machine? Maybe if they were targeting 600, it might be like 1000 now?

Which makes sense in some ways. The Frame should be more capable and powerful by itself, but the Index needed those damn base stations which cost a bit just by themselves

I'll be honest, I've been pretty out of the loop and totally spaced on that. I was basing it from the general product offering (omitting base stations, high bandwidth display cable throughput, overall display specs), and super old leaks from the time where we knew it only by its codename (deckard), suggesting a much lower cost, partially modular system.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Index remained the overall higher quality VR solution for now
