Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release

[–] warm@kbin.earth 15 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

The Machine will apparently be about the price of "an entry level PC".

The Frame will "not cost more than the Index".

[–] croizat@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Not more than the index is a low bar considering it's about the most expensive of the mainstream headsets

Literally every VR headset released this year is over 1k usd. Only meta (and now valve) care about budget headsets

[–] croizat@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

The only ones that released this year are enthusiast premium brands, unless I'm missing any. Last year had the quest and the HTC which I'll admit I was wrong about, I thought it was lower than exactly 1k
