  Given the current chip market there’d be a 400+ USD upcharge from the previously stated price of “below the (Valve) Index”

      Sort of a synonym for markup, an additional cost on top of the original planned price.

    Right and in a year it will be outdated + overpriced hardware, rather than just overpriced. Like, steam box haven’t teached you a thing?

      I can already run cyberpunk on my pc. I want this so I can now see it in VR in higher quality than my current headset, wirelessly, with a much less bulky format.

      It might be outdated, but it won’t be overpriced. Meta made it clear their next headset will not be subsidised. And Pico are saying their next headset will be a Apple Vision Pro competitor.

        So you saying they all will be overpriced? How that contradicts what I just said?

  They have to finish HL3 first so that it has a launch title worthy of a new platform.
