Im hyped for a new vr headset.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff ... I've been staying away from VR for now.

I'll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it's available. Everything about it sounds hype.

I’m really hoping that the price of the vr headset meets or beats the Facebook models.

Definitely will be grabbing the Steam Machine when it releases.

I’m curious about the “it’s a PC” aspect of the Steam Box. Because a device that plays all Steam games but isn’t a Windows computer is extremely appealing, but I admit if I can’t install a few non-Steam games on it, that’s a spoiler for me. But if the whole “it’s a PC” provides some avenue to that, I’m definitely ready to stop building a gaming PC every 5 years.

One question I have about the cube is will it be capable of doing full DRM streaming services like Netflix? Most living room systems have that, but doing it on an open linux system somehow would be novel.

FEX is the most exciting thing for me!

Yeah… hopefully upgradeable. I’m sure Valve is shooting for a certain price point.

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 14 points 1 month ago

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

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

But what about the steam carrots and broccoli?

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or the Steam(ed) Dumpling.

[–] jastyty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Or the steamed hams
