Comment on DF Direct Weekly #240: Steam Machine - Pricing, Specs, VRAM, ARM Ambitions + More
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 1 week agoWhy does everyone keep saying Index was $1000. That’s just blatantly wrong. It’s like $500. It was only the set that includes 2 controllers and 2 base stations that costs $1000. But you can order each part separately.
The Frame won’t have base stations, and it’s unlikely that the Frame controllers will cost $300, since they don’t seem as advanced as the Index controllers (at least in regards to the hand presence tech).
And since there are dozens of us that already have those I’d expect that you can buy the Frame w/o controllers too.

because thats seemingly the upper bound l.
i’d expect something a bit more expensive than the quest 3, which currently costs 550€ with controllers, because i don’t think valve will sell at cost, but with a slim margin.

It’s not the upper bound, because the set only includes 2 base stations. That’s good enough for most use cases but if you need the additional coverage you’ll be buying 2 more for $150 a pop
