I recently learned that the PSVR2 has a PC adapter. All the posts and comments about Linux compatibility are 2years old though.
If the steam frame ends up being my predicted price of $2000+ AUD, I’ll take a chance on the $700 PSVR2 and PC adapter.
Head strap, controller straps and a nose light blocker beeing a separate purchase is fucking laughable. Especially that lightblocker not beeing included with every headset is just weird. What does that piece of shit silicone cost in production? 10 cents?
Man, i still want a standalone headset with a linux based OS and newer SOC than Q3 soooo bad. But i wouldnt have bought it for 800-1000$ and even less for what ever the fuck it will cost under current market conditions.
Had a huge hit of copium for this thought, bear with me…
What if a separate purchase of a few “minor” items is Valve’s move to do what they can to help bring down the definitely-gonna-be-costly cost of the Frame? I don’t really expect a need for diferent set of hand straps, extra head strap, or a light blocker around my larger than average honker. I see it as a win(??) of sorts where I won’t need to spend the premium for accessory items I don’t need in the end anyway. We know the cost of the Frame is going to be higher than Valve let on (they said expect it to be less than the Index if I recall) but due to rampocalypse, things are more expensive.
If I dont have to pay for extra crap, I’m all for it. Or, if i need those things, I can probably figure out some sort of after market or frugal solution instead.
Aaaaaaand… exhale.
EDIT: I reread your post, and my response seems like I’m side stepping your point. My bad. I’ll leave my post as is anyway. I do not disagree with you.
My body is ready.
My wallet isn’t though.
I feel you. three years ago I was hoping for an update to that after the steamdeck. but now I don’t see it as achievable to get.
Release must me imminent if the page is being set up. Now, the price…
I’m hoping it will be cheaper than expected since the actual processing isn’t happening in the headset. From what I know, the technology is the headset is a wireless receiver, and it relies on the processing power of your existing PC. Could be misremembering though.
You are only half misremembering. The point was that you can do both - you can install games directly on it in conjunction with streaming. There is a lot more to it than just receiving a game stream though.
Its going to be hella expensive.
The valve index is $4000 AUD ($2850 USD) when I tried to buy one recently. I was just like… I don’t really want VR that much lol. That’s double what I paid for my entire PC
One bazillion dollars.
