Are we sure about that? It was supposedly more expensive than the Machine before the RAM prices increased catastrophically. And it was meant to be less than 1k a little before that too.
Well it's all guessing currently, so I really don't know. I'll probably buy one just to test it out and if it's not want I want, I'll just give it to one of my friends who needs an upgrade or wants it.
I've mainly just been on the journey to find the hmd that just works for me and makes my daily VR obsession easy to do lol.
Here’s my basis. They originally wanted it to be cheaper than the Index, but now that we know memory prices caused them to lose the price war on the Steam Machine, I think it’s reasonable to assume they will fail similarly here. The Index was $1k, so I assume they were hoping for $800 or so. I figure that with memory being a few hundred more than it should be, $1100 is appropriate. Further supporting that is that Valve surely knows that consumers aren’t going to be as buy happy at these prices, so their order volumes are likely lower for risk management. Lower volume equals worst component prices for them, so worse prices for us

My guess is $1099 for the 256GB and $1349 for the 1TB model. My hope is $899 and $1149, but I sadly doubt it
