  Did steam actually drop the price point yet or are they just speculating? If it’s the later than the title is rather misleading.

    just speculation.

    only things valve employees said about prices is:

    • they are targetting a lower price for the frame than the index (index was 1000$ afaik)
    • the machine will be priced as a pc and not as a console (whatever that means)
    • prices will be announced closer to launch.

      “Expect a high enough price such that we couldn’t group it in with console prices.”

      2nd line means it won’t be sold at a loss

      Why 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.

    It’s the 240th episode of DF Direct Weekly. I don’t think they have to explain the format at this point any longer.

      Does it not come to you that someone might have never even heard of DF?

  Well, Valve just dropped prices for everything… Can’t wait to see how everyone reacts.
