Steam Frame pre-orders go live tomorrow at 5PM CEST
$1500you buyin'?
$1800 base model btw
sources say it will be $2000 and gabe personally mails you a pubic hair
>>744593543Should I get the cheap oculus?I have a 4060
I mean when you think about it, $2500 is a steal
can't do mixed reality so no buyI want my virtual e-girl harem to be in my irl room with me
$2500 for a headset seems a bit much... is VR really worth that price?
>>744593543I like these because they filter poor people ngl
Who can't afford $1500? It's only $1800 if you're not poor you should have no issue shelling out $2000 when preorders go live tomorrow for $2500!
>>744593768Honestly I think $3000 is too cheap. Might have to give the big man a tip when I order.
>>744593543I never owned VR because im a poor faggot, what does it feel like?
>>744593929kinda uncomfortable, ngl
>>744593795
Oh boy can't wait for Not Available In Your Region.
it's not 1500 it's 1479 you disingenuous fucks
>>744593698If you're a dumb cult follower, buy the $1500 Steam Frame junk. Overpriced junk just like the Valve Index VR. Pic related is a Quest 3 at Walmart Canada and the price is in Canadian dollars. Comes down to about $241 USD after conversion. I honestly have no clue how someone could even entertain the idea of getting a Steam Frame. Haven't you guys learned from the Valve Index back when Alyx came out? It was an overly expensive shit item that cost way more that the competition without delivering way more than the competition.
It's a great deal if you pirate every game and also steal the Steam Frame from a Best Buy.
>>744594235but i'm white
>>744594151can I use this with joining tel-aviv's meta botnet?
>>744594306without*
IT'S GOING TO COST FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!
>>744594385AND I WILL BUY IT BECAUSE I LOVE SUCKING GABE'S THICK GIRTHY COCK. I HOPE HE CUMS IN MY MOUTH SO I CAN SWALLOW EVERY LAST DROP WHILE I FONDLE HIS BALLS
Whats my best option if 1500 is a little too and i DONT want meta to know that i'm watching taker pov futa blowjobs ??
>>744594487too much*
>>744594285You just have to channel their power.
>>744594306>>744594363You have to join it
>it's yet another /v/ crybaby bullshit episode that means absolutely nothing because it will be a top seller.
>>744594487Buy the Quest 3 and Virtual Desktop from the Meta store, then only connect it for updates. Buy all your games on Steam.
>>744594709>they're gonna sell every single one of their 2k units!!
>>744594151How the fuck do people play games with these pieces of shit? I can stand my quest 2 for about 20 minutes before it starts hurting my cheek bones from the torque the weight applies and the battery is already 50% dead by that point.Standalone VR needs to die.
>>744594882
>>744594151damn.. the cheapest I can find around here is 350€
>>744593634Where are all you clowns coming from with these unsubstantiated numbers?Valve will likely sell it for $1000. $1200 if they want a bigger profit margin to help set off the losses from the Steam Machine.
>$4999Seriously? I was willing to pay 3500, that's a fair price, but this is obnoxious
>>744595087And for that $5000
>>744595087>he doesn't knowQualcomm recently warned their processor prices are about to skyrocket
>>744595153 think of the steam points bro you could buy so many anime girl avatars with that much
>>744595014>just add 2 more kilos to your headsetAlso >>744594151 is fake, it's still listed as $800 everywhere. That tag must be for some other product, probably the PSVR2 next to the quest3.
>>744595027where? checked europe wide and it's like 570
>>744595192>warned>aboutNeither of those are "already happened" or "happening right now".What? Do you think Valve only starts production once preorders go live? Steam Frames have been in the country since May of this year.
>>744595274>>just add 2 more kilos to your headsethe doesn't know
>>744595274>pencil neck
if i were to buy a headset i'd need prescription lenses but i lowkey don't wanna get my eyes measured to see how much worse they have gotten in the last 6 years since my last pair of glasses
>>744595274It's not fake.
>>744595339They'll still have to sell at current market value, and that value is skyrocketing in September according to Qualcomm, plus you need to factor in the memory crisis which will affect its pricepoint also. Remember, people believed the Steam Machine was going to be around 700-800 dollars before prices got fucked, and Valve initially teased a price just shy of $1000 for the Frame when it was first revealed. There's no way it'll be any less than $1200, so $1500 is a reasonable estimate in the current market. They will not sell them at a loss.
>>744595283350€ for the 128gb versionI found it via guenstiger.de
>>744593929it's the going into games machine
>>744593768Fuck no. The number of actually good VR games is in the single digits, and the gimmick gets stale after a month or two. Assuming the motion sickness and headaches don't kill it for you quicker.
>>744595549That must be the 3S with lenses from last decade. They discontinued 3 with 128GB storage.
yeah Im gonna buy a few and sell them to fomo retards with a 100% markup
>>744593543>people will spend $1k or more on a 2160x2160 LCD headset in current year lmao
>>744595549ah lol I used geizhals.dei think you found the quest 3s which is a bit worse
>>744595726not a bitit's very worse
The worst thing about this thing costing a huge premium price now is that the screens are still ultra cheap ass bullshit.If it's already past 1000 who cares if it costs 500 more for OLED screens at that point. But nah, we get washed out, light grey LED garbage after paying an arm and a leg.Stupid. Rest of the tech is really nice, just can't understand the screen decision at all.
>>744595489How retarded are you?
I still use my q2 with custom inserts. I don't like the trackers though. Cheap ass shitty sticks that have the same issues as the switch
>>744595489>prices go up while stock is already made>whoops, gotta sell them at current market value>prices go down when things were already made>whoops, gotta sell them at former market rates because that's what we built them atNothing to be done. Gabe and the other Valve heads need their 500,000,000 million dollar super yachts each. There's just no wiggle room here to invest in the future with a slight loss leader, nah we're just forced to watch as our cool new technology gets rejected on price and then vanishes forever. Just sadly no other way that includes more super yachts right now.
>>744593543Is pico 4 ultra worth it if I just want to use it to goon and play steam games?
Love my Quest 3!
>>744595970What part of what I said do you take issue with, exactly?
>>744595701>>744595726>>744595816>Both use the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and 8GB of RAM for identical app performance and load times.>Both feature dual 4MP RGB color passthrough cameras for seeing your real room.>Both use the same Meta Touch Plus controllers.Only the lenses are different. And from what I've read, it's not a huge difference. The main difference is you don't have to move the headset to find the viewing angle. If it's your first headset absolutely go for the 3S.
>>744594385-to use the Steam Frame... for 12 months...You will own nothing and be happy.
>>744595274>just add 2 more kilos to your headsetSo you understand, if you aren't trolling. You complained of too much weight on your face. That is because the headset is front heavy. Having a battery on the back helps with that weight. Furthermore having a halo strap where lots of the weight now goes on the top of your head is even better. It solves your problem.
>>744596927The point is that on pancake lenses (Q3, Frame) you can look anywhere just by moving your eyes.On the older fresnel lenses (Q3S, Index) you only have a small sweet spot that you have to stare and look around by turning your whole head.
>>744595476Custom prescriptions lenses are like $45 on Zenni. Or you can just wear contacts
>>744595476If it's truly gotten worse, then you need new lenses. If not, which is likely (it stops at some point), then even better.
The steamframe is comparable in hardware to the quest 3 with the big difference that the frame has eye tracking. >same cpu&gpu&same amount of ram&battery size is comparable, etc....And the quest 3 is "cheap" as fuck compared to other VR sets. If valve releases this headset for more then 700 eurodollars, then they can shove it up gabens ass.
Is vr porn worth it?
>>744598565it will still sell out at $2k, poorfag
>>744598575yes, VR pov porn and a pocketpussy has given me some of the biggest nuts ever.
>>744598681>poor fag,Lol, i can spend 2k easy if i wanted to, i just have selfrespect and dont like getting ripped off.
i just don't have selfrespect I'm boughtening
>>744598792Poorfag cope
>>744598575you need it to be 8k but the illusion works it makes you feel like you're right there with the girl
I just want a headset that doesn't spy on my and runs GNU/Linux. I hate that I'll have to find a way to order it through a proxy. >>744598575It's like the second best thing about VR.
im waiting for big screen beyond 3 and that will be my first VR headset
>>744595476I need glasses for distance, but I use my headset without them just fine.>>744598575I've tried it just because people always boast about it online. Yes, you won't ever watch normal porn after it. You can sort of enjoy the beauty of the "3D" face of the person and feel their presence. Also, you don't feel as drained afterwards because it feels like you've just had sex with a real beautiful girl (which sort of energizes you in a way). You just need to find the videos with the good-looking girls, because a lot of them look like crackhead whores, which kind of defeats the purpose of VR and its ability to let you enjoy the aesthetics of good-looking women. But this being said, I think you should just do no-fap, or perhaps use the VR porn to increase your testosterone levels without ejaculating.
>>744594882see>>744595014same shit for the army when we use NVG, you apply a counterweight at the rear, but i think the quest as a pack that offer better straps and head support so you don't have to add more weight on your head
>>744599295>use the VR porn to increase your testosterone levelswhat? you can do that?
>>744595339People said the same about the Steammachine."They have already produced most of them!" "They made contracts before the price increase!"
>>744598681(((Resellers))) will buy them all in 2s hoping to flip for a profit.
expensive
>>744599765>In line with the challenge hypothesis, this study investigated the effects of the presence of a woman on the testosterone (T) levels of young men. An informal contact with a woman of approximately 5 min resulted in an increase in salivary T among men.VR porn (doesn't even have to be the fucking part, just the flirting at the beginning of the video is enough) makes you feel like you're really there. It makes you feel like you're right next to that girl. And this alone increases testosterone.
>>744600450This is just pathetic.
>>744599791What's it like living with just 1 braincell?
>>744600450>I'm low T cause i don't have a gf>but I need high T to get a gfbruh
>>744593929It's exactly like you're in the game except you can't really control your body very well, it feels like you're wearing scuba goggles that cut off your peripheral vision, and if you have low resolution then things are blurry. Even with those caveats it's very cool to experience and I use it every chance I get.
>>744600450>watching VR porn to increase TThis is like eating Taco Bell for the protein.
>>744596927>The main difference is you don't have to move the headset to find the viewing angle.That's a huge difference. Fresnel lenses are also bulky, which means the weight of the headset will be further away from your face, which mean worse leverages. Combine that with the constant need to move your head, and it's no wonder people are constantly complaining about the comfort. Even a third party headstrap won't fix this.
If this thing really is $1500 to $2000, then it is dead on arrival and the only people saying "muh poors" are dirty disgusting brown subhumans mainly from poostained countries.
>>744602270I really wish i could try a pancake lens headset to see the difference, i might not even need glasses if the screen is close enough
>>744602929why would it be that much, there's no SSD or VRAM in it
>>744599541PCVR eats the battery alive at 120hz.
>>744593543Isn't PSVR2 the best PC headset around?
>>744602929People literally said the same about the Steam Machine.
>>744603128they gimped it so it doesn't do eye tracking
>>744602941I've read that if you try those first, you won't like the previous one. But if you try the previous one as your first headset you'll see no issue.
just talked to gabe and it's $4999
>>744602929>implyingUnlike the Machine this thing has a USP more than 5 people will care about and even if it costs that much it isn't nearly as big a ripoff as the Machine is.
I want something like Steam Machine but for PCVR. All the prebuilts have those gay pride LEDs and are bigger than a dog
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2hPR8Mx6Ho30$ eye tracking. If the Frame really is $1000 then this with your Quest 3 and don't bother with the Frame.
>>744603128It is OLED with shit Quest 2 optics. It is eye tracking, but it doesn't work on PC. So no, the Quest 3 reins supreme for the price.
>>744603752>but it doesn't work on PC.Yeah it does
>>744603786Sentences man, can you even? Eye tracking on PC doesn't work. Yes, the headset works on PC with an adapter.
>>744603752it's not even good OLED either it's cheap Diamond PenTile subpixels.
>>744603880>it is eye trackingYeah amazing English, retard
>>744604136It = PSVR2What do you think it meant?
>>744604203Oh okay you're a real ESL
>>744604360>The PSVR2 is OLED with shit Quest 2 optics. The PSVR2 is eye tracking, but PSVR2 eye tracking doesn't work on PC. So no, the Quest 3 reins supreme for the price.No one talks like this.
>>744604645>The PSVR2 is eye tracking,You really don't see it?
>>744604687Does this really bother you so much? Of course you can replace that with has. I'm not going to write everything perfect even as a native english speaker that I am. That can can't understand commas and but is more problematic.
>>744604360The 2024 hack showed most traffic came from turdworlders, so there isn't much point in discussing video games here.
>>744603652>I'm a retarded goyslave and can't put legos together. Please, daddy Gabe, stuff my goyholes and plunder my wallet with that big corpo cock.
>>744604921>I'm not going to write everything perfect even as a native english speaker that I amlol why even lie
>psvr2 eye trackingIt's also not eye tracking on ps5 with the exception of synapse and phasmo and maybe 3 others because almost nothing supports foveated rendering much less other eye tracking functionsBut there is a custom driver to use it on pc nowadays.
>>744593543how much?
>vr headsets>for an audience who all wear glassesGenius technology, lol
>>744605591very
>>744602270It's kind of insane the difference between the two lens and how much space it takes
>>744605184I built my first PC in 2005. Last in 2013. I am an adult now. I want a complete package. With warranty and shit.
>>744593543Call me insane, but $6000 for a headset seems a little bit overpriced.
>>744593543does it come with controllers? also, will it be better than the index?
>>744605717I just wear my glasses under my Quest 3. No problems
>>744606152>does it come with controllers?it's funny that we have to ask this now since the steam machine doesn't come with a controller
>>744603738>tranime
>>744606228newfag
>>744603738why would i bother paying extra so the trannies at vrchat can visually see that i'm lusting after their avatars tits?
>>744593929it's really cool but there aren't a lot of real games for it
>>744606343Are you retarded? You get at least a 30% performance boost with DFR
>>744593543Why would anyone want to play flatscreen games on a virtual screen inside VR?
>>744606498>no space in my apartment to put a 200 inch screenthat's why
>>744606498You can get virtual 120" screen in your tiny apartment
>>744593543Bought a meta quest 3 about a week ago, use it primarily for porn. Should I get the steam frame for actual VR gaming or just use the Quest?
>>744606498the only usecase for this is when you want to play something relaxing like StS while laying in bed.as an aside the steamcontroller is great for VR in bed, since you can use the trackpads as a mouse or keyboard for youtube shit etc
>>744606498I agree, though some do have a slight Stereoscopic effect to them making them appear to pop slightly. I imagine they could use AI filters to do this now.
>>744606423dilf retards?
>>744606498what the FUCK is this nigger talking about
>>744593543I bought my car for less than a Steam Frame.
Why has Valve been delaying this?The bubble will not burst in a while yet.It's going to be fucking expensive and hardly anyone will get it.But get it out there already and then lower the price when the bubble finally pops and it's cheaper to manufacture.
>>744596354>Nooo, the billionaires owe me money!Marine research super yachts btw.
>>744606624use virtual desktop to play games off your computer on the quest, and it can be wirelesswireless is a massive plus
>>744605717You can buy prescription lens inserts for headsets
>>744593543>late to order the steam controller 2.0 by like 30 minutes>wait list still says available in decemberI'm tired, boss
>>744594151damn bro which walmart is this, i'll go grab this rn
>>744593543wow, look at all those VR games
>>744606498portability
>>744606152>will it be better than the index?It should theoretically be better in every way. The only things I am worried about are the audio and quality of the wireless streaming as opposed to the DisplayPort connection of the Index. But it's very possible that both of those things will be on par or better than the Index. If so, I think this will probably be the best overall VR headset for gaming, ignoring the price. The panels are a bit mediocre but I think everything else should make up for it.
>>744606852it's in Ontario, but it was also 10 months agoso your car better be able to time travel
>>744606937Having a headset since the og vive I have to say, that with all those vr mods dropping lately vr finally has games. And the flat2vr stuff is better than most native games...
>>744607129o rip, guess i'll wait to see if it goes down again a bit, right now it's like 800 bucks, not worth it at all
>>744593929
>>744607212>got the halo headset accessory for the quest 3>still got red rings around my face and it's sweaty tooVR is just not comfortable for more than 1 hour
>>744606937what do you mean, we have plenty of choices>vr mod for actual game>h3vr>vrchat
>>744607341should've gotten the bobo like the rest of us. the weight is completely balanced with the battery, and zero part of the headset touches my face.
>>744607363so, beat saber aint relevant no more?
>>744607341>soon
>>744593543If I have loads of spare rooms in my empty apartment does that make vr more fun or are all the room scale waggle games crusty 10 year old experiences from the first VR wave?
>>744595717valve fanboyism tax
>>744595087>Losses from the steam machine Lol
>>744608547room scale is kind of overrated. I just turn around and use my joystick to move. although space is nice so you don't have to worry about punching a wall.
>>744593543I'm interested in the controllers, I hope they can be used for split gyro gaming. I have no interest in VR, unless it's porn.
>$1500Really hard to get on board with when I bought a Quest 3 for $300 in 2024 before hardware prices started going up. Yeah the OS is shit but not "pay an extra $1200 for the same specs" shit
>>744606605>>74460660627" screen looks better than a 120" virtual screen
>>744593543I'm waiting for the color passthrough version.
>>744608957Brown people cope
>>744606498>can play games on a screen the size of a movie theater>can change your environment at will>can bring it with you anywhere on trips
>>744606824That's why I don't buy the whole "omg it is sold out therefore it must be amazing!" It's due to them probably making like 1000 controllers, sold out in an instant because of it and now it has this "wait list" to make it seem more popular than it really is. Same with the shitty steam machine that "isn't a PC and isn't a console" so I will assume the frame will have like 2000 units available to but at the massive price tag it will be due to valve saying they were not selling at a loss and the back orders will be till q2 2027 or something. Like usual everything is fake and gay, just like the only "game" people play on this, vr chat.
>>744609731It does tho, you get 170ppi on a 4k 27" monitor. You would need 8k res to get the same ppi on a 50" screen, and you can't get that same ppi on a 120" screen unless you get one of those expensive modular screens, but there's no media that would benefit from it. I personally go even further and I use a 17" 4k (270 ppi) monitor as my main entertainment monitor, gaming and movie watching is great and reading manga, comics or books is glorious.
>>744609960>can play games on a screen the size of a movie theaterThat's dumb though, the screen is "bigger" but the resolution is lower because the virtual screen isn't using the entire display. You could just sit close to your TV and get the same effect.
>>744595650If you get motion sickness you're just a weak faggot. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
>>744603128The connectivity with the PC sucks though, and they're pretty cheaply made. I had to return my first one because the wire that plugs into the headset was partially broken, and sometimes retracting the headset towards my face would cause it to disconnect.And other times, it just randomly would not want to work with SteamVR. The amount of times I had to uninstall the PSVR2 program and reinstall it and do the setup all over was asinine. Hell, sometimes it would make me do the first time/room setup out of nowhere just for fun.
>>744611551We can always trust Sony to fuck with PC users
>>744602270yeah but it's also something you can get in a 450 dollar pico 4
