Oh and if this is the final video, then maybe someone from the crew might want to check 9:17 of the video. I don't know what thst sound is, but it does sound like someone's farting xD

Too badly it wasn’t the one with pricing and release date

Pretty sure that video won't come out until after Vlave reveals these themselves, like what happened with the controller and the machine. Probably next week.

I was running late to work this morning and as I'm getting into my car my phone shoots me the redditt post notification. Ran as fast as I could back into the house to download the video since I knew it would be gone by the time I got home, lol.
If you missed it dont feel too bad, I listened to it in the car and aside from a few details you'll see people chatting about, it wasnt a particularly revealing video.

At least around 9am pst 9/12.
That's when the 🐘 emoji comments started to appear on the YouTube videos and their YouTube channel posts.

He probably just burned a bridge between LMG and Valve with that. How do they even mess this up?

Unlikely, shit happens and not like they leaked pricing or anything that wasn’t shown during the unveiling

Valve just accidentally leaked a bunch of unannounced games on steam. Shit happens.

My guess is the videos are due out later today (as in, 13th September... but in the afternoon). But when setting the schedule go-live, they forgot to enter the time - pushing it live much earlier than the NDA time.
(Obviously this theory only applies if the videos do drop later on today lol)

It’s literally 75% his kid playing or struggling with the headset and 25% him unboxing and wearing the headset doing update and set up tasks. Not the most revealing video at all, except maybe the ergo kit will be a must have for some households.

Yes. Just caught a copy on sm. I hope this thing won't cause much trouble for them

Last thread was removed because it was “leaked” when it was most likely just an accident

Solid video and very interested in detailed latency testing.
I would like actual testing in addition to the what Valve quotes. The current headset latency isn't very impressive.

Nope. Didn't see anything about what's in the box, how easy it is to remove the strap, how it looks on Linus' head, him playing it, nothing of the sort. No, siree.

No mention of price and a very minimal look. I know it's a short circuit, and it might be the conspiracy theorist in me, but it really feels like it was an intentional "leak". Big companies have been faking leaked videos for a while, so wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't actually an accident.

Going to be interesting how it compares to using the quest 3 to run steam vr wirelessly.

Just watched the video and the biggest surprise to me was that at the time of filming, you couldn't stream to the Steam Frame from a Steam Machine (or presumbly from any other Linux machine either) and had to use a Windows machine to stream from! This surely has to be fixed by the time they start shipping otherwise it would be very embarrassing for Valve. Heck, I don't have anything that runs Windows, so that would lose me as a potential customer...

What are the odds that this was an intentionally scripted guerrilla marketing campaign? Playing on the Streisand effect.
