I miss the time when you could just buy things.

The prices are about what I expected. Could be worse. What annoys me a little bit is that in addition to being another lottery for an opportunity to buy, you can only choose one model ahead of time. I would probably buy the 1TB model if I couldn't get the smaller one. But I don't think I'm going to volunteer for the large model and give up my chance to buy the cheaper one. Might ask my nephew to put in a 1TB reservation...

It's very disappointing that you don't even get a charging cable for 1k+ 😾

Let's fucking goooo!!!!
Here's me hoping Linux PCVR is sorted out by the time I can get my hands on one.
replies:
Thanks for the heads up!
Tbh, the price is about what I expected as well. Not horribly different from a fully decked out Valve Index when they were new, and theyre including the controllers alongsode the headset this time.
You'd hope it'd have been cheaper due to the lack of external sensors to buy, but inflation and ram/storage prices going up was inevitable. I just hope it's not DOA from people comparing it to Meta's (heavily subsidized) options

Seems the Asia page has no lottery and its just a gauntlet fight vs the scalpers. From what i can gather from what they worded in the queue page when it's not crashed.
USB 2.0 is sort of disappointing, though realistically, how often will I actually be transferring files to this device?
I guess I can do some testing of this myself right now with my phone, but I'll ask for anyone who is familiar: should I expect local file transfers over SSH via Wi-Fi to be faster than local file transfers via USB 2.0 anyway?
EDIT: Apparently, you can't just plug the Frame into a computer and have it show up as a mass storage device. It doesn't work like plugging a phone into a computer; it works like plugging a computer into a computer. So the best options for local file transfer are probably:
- SFTP, KDE Connect, Local Send, Syncthing, etc. via Wi-Fi
- inserting a Micro SD card or USB C flash drive into a computer, transferring files to it, removing it, inserting it into the Frame, transferring the files to the Frame
This is strange, this post shows up for me through API access, but won't show up for me when viewing this community online. There's a duplicate post from someone else that does show up everywhere, and is getting more upvotes, although this post is actually older.
Not sure what's going on.
