At what price would you actually buy a Steam Frame? I'd say if it was cheaper than a Meta Quest 3, I'd buy it. It won't be cheaper. I've been using Quest headsets for awhile now and like them. It would take a lot to make me pay more for basically the same thing.
instant buy if it's $800 or less
>>738746034Unless VR actually starts having AAA games, it will always be shitAnd that won't happen until the price drop to something reasonable like $500-600
>>738746102$800 Biden Bucks for a headset with an untested library? I'm forgetting what features it has that the Quest doesn't. I'll ask Gemini and post results.
>>738746102Pretty much thisI got scammed into getting a Bigscreen Beyond, which is actually pretty good, but the support fucking sucks, and I long for that massive community that was behind the IndexI swear I'm not bad with money. I don't smoke, drink coffee, no gacha games or MTX, basically no money drains in my life, so that I can go full retard on a Tuesday night and waste it all on some $1000 piece of shit
>>738746414Retard
>>738746034Bout tree fiddy
>>738746220VR has AAA games, there's just a lot of goyslop. Meta Quest 3s is only $300.
>>738746034The frame is basically a premium quest 3 with no color passthrough and time of flight sensor, why is cheaper than the quest 3 a goal post to begin with? I don't even think meta could offer something better than the quest 3 at a lower price point even 5 years from now because general inflation and the memory crisis. And the economy is about to really, really go to shit. I've raised how much I will pay for the steam frame just because I expect to be even more expensive unobtanium in the future. I was hoping it would be under $700 with $600 as the pipedream. Now I wouldn't be surprised if it was $800. It's not going to change VR. Its just an expensive niche masochist hobby. I'm just so doomer about the future that hardware costing too much will be the nothing compared to socioeconomic problems.
The Frame is only better if you play on PC. The Quest's standalone library makes it the winner if you like playing anywhere you want.
>>738746414If you already have a quest 3 it's not that impressive unless you have disposable income. I wish it had higher res displays but it doesn't.The biggest improvement is weight and comfort and this is just going to matter more than anything else period. If you've ever used displayport the quality degradation of wireless video is not trivial and foveated encoding is a big upgrade, and you have more quality headroom for 120 fps. Same with stuttering, if you ever push your wireless with higher bitrate and fast motion your mileage varies. Frame has near complete binocular overlap and quest 3 is known for poor overlap. VR conversions suffer from lack of buttons forcing odd layouts. Stick drift ruins controllers and the quest controllers are too invasive to normies to repair, TMR ends that bullshit forever. It's a PC out of the box. It has IR lights so you don't have to worry about a floodlight because the USB IR lights are fucking aids and easy to block with your arm. The software won't be ass and it will have a 3dof mode so you can jack off in piece without a lost tracking or boundary setup popup cucking you. I swear that zuck is deliberately fucking with his customers with the inexcusable user experience sometimes.
>>738746414>high refresh rates>high resolution>low battery consumptionPick 2. No device can the 3 at the same time. Even the Vision Pro, at $2.5k, failed.
>>738747149The frame is a PC and that only becomes more valuable with the fact that it is portable. You can play stereo 3D conversions of classic PC games or emulated console games anywhere you want. Some quest games might not see ports because the studios were by killed by zuck, but I would never buy a quest to play them unless it was a quest 4 that responds to advancements of the steam frame.
>>738746034Let me guess, it only works on steam (oh, brother!)
i would pay up to 1200 for it just for the fact its controllers wont start drifting 6 months in and its going to be fully linux compatible without any stupid work arounds that are only half compatible >inb4 hurr durr contact cleaner fixes it for a month and then you need to keep doing it all the while the time between gets shorter and shorter until its almost daily your are using it
>>738747431also forgot about the audio. Quest audio is one of the worst things about it because you can't even pay money to upgrade it and it's like 1/3rd of the immersion factor at least. The amp on it sucks so you can't produced bass with wired headphones. The USB dac headphones for the quest 2 eventually stop working for no reason. The bluetooth lags so you can't just bring your own power. When index audio hits for the frame I will probably buy that day 1 even if their face speakers are adequate.
>>738747781id rather only have steam installed than need to run both quest link software and steam at the same time for 90 percent of games anything you can say about steam VR goes about 20 times for the link app
>>738746034>I'd say if it was cheaper than a Meta Quest 3, I'd buy it.make sure you're comparing "meta quest 3 for business" prices and not consumer prices.the consumer model is discounted because it collects and sells your data.
>>738746034i want the GabeCube for $3, anything less than that and im not boughting itit has all my games already...imagine buyening a conzole and then also having to purtchase games for it...
>>738746034honestly i wouldnt buy anything made by valve after getting the index, its a piece of shit.
>>738746102About here, sadly.
>>738746034Probably a much lower price than they'll want for it. I'm interested in a giving VR a try, but I'm not confident that I'll actually get enough use out of it to justify more than a couple hundred dollars.
>>738748615no its not
>>738746034the Quest 3 already rose its price by $100; the Frame's price is going to be a shitshow.
>>738746034700?but i doubt it can hit that pricepointi'm guessing around 900 for the launch price
>>738748760Try the 3s. You're right, I don't get as much out of VR compared to flat games. But it's still fun to do sometimes.
>>738746034Part of me wants one to complete the set, but I really can't think of a use case.
>>738752912VR is fun, simple as. My guests like to try it.
>>738746437I have a friend who bought one of these. Fan started making bad sound. They sent express international rma and he received a new unit quickly.
>>738746034>At what price would you actually buy a Steam Frame?Maximum 700 dollars. It should be 450-550 based on bill of materials that leaked.
