    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
