I mean, near cost still wouldn’t be a good price, but there’s not a lot of advantage to sell it at a high price for them. Much less reason for anyone to buy into their VR ecosystem rather than Meta’s.

They did with the Steam Deck too. I don’t think Valve is worried about super-technical people. It’s if it’s easy enough for the everyday user to use it without Steam. The Machine is super easy to use without Steam, and it’s useful as a computer. A cluster of Frames wouldn’t be very useful.

At least that’s my take on it.

They _might_ sell it near cost, since the only practical way to use it is through Steam. I understand why they didn’t do that with the Steam Machine, because that’s very easy to use without Steam.

Maybe they’re talking about foviated streaming in particular?

I’ve been on the waitlist for the 512 with controller since shortly after it was announced, and I just got my invitation a few days ago. Now I’m waiting for shipment. I’d guess it’s easier for them to procure the 512s.

It looks like it, yes. Their source code references:

It’s not proof, but it’s pretty strong evidence.

No matter how expensive it is, I’m getting one.

Sweet. Gonna blow all my money on new Steam hardware this year.

Not if it used Android, but if they ran like a Linux based OS, yeah, I’d give it a try.

For what I use it for (mostly Beat Saber, but also 3D modeling), it’s not bad. For what I’d _like_ to use it for (AAA VR games), it’s terrible. But, it’s way better than the Quest 1 I had before it. Still, the Frame is going to absolutely destroy it.

I feel the exact same. I have a Quest 3S, and I can’t wait to dump it immediately as soon as I get a Frame.

Electron was already taken.

You’ll lose about a half a percent per hour, so if you’re leaving it off for more than a day, it’s best to shut it completely down.

You can upgrade the SSD in a Steam Deck instead of using an SD card. It is pricey though.

They needed an inquiry?

Cool. I was going a little anxious, it being a few years since a Republican got us in a war in the Middle East. I’m not used to peace. /s

The most successful handheld gaming PC in history (admittedly, only if you don’t include consoles like the Switch), and still can’t get no respect.

Plucky?

I’m tired of winning.

What would it even mean to “sell” Canada? Whatever deal they make, the US could just back out of once Canada became a state, and Canada wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. It’s a non-sensical idea.

Selling _territories_ makes sense, but selling your own sovereignty does not.
