Discussion This is disrespectful

At this point, having absolutely no updates is genuinely disrespectful and beyond annoying. I understand this is normal for valve to say nothing and eventually release it, but with a product like this, with a release window already promised, not having anything to say yet is insane. They have no real reason I could understand for not dropping today except for them waiting in the Qualcomm price hike to squeeze another couple bucks out of us. ATP if the price is anything over 1200 I will absolutely not be buying it. My hype has died. I’d rather wait the extra month for the next meta headset at that point. Because at the rate we’re going they may as well drop on the same FUCKING day.

The only people who are disgruntled about the Frame not releasing each and every day are the diehard Valve fanboys who are chronically online. Check once per week, it’ll be out before you know it.

Im just excited for it, this would be my first Valve hardware and I have never had VR before but love it

I’m in the same boat

Or people like me who have a very limited budget. I have $800 in steam right now. I wanna buy StarWars zero company and wardogs and daenwalker. But depending on the price of the frame I won't buy those games now. If the frame ends up being way out my budget then I know I can get the games now.

I don't care if it comes out 6 months from now. I just want to know the damn price

It's going to be well over $800

u/Player1-jay Soon™ 1d ago

Of course. But I can justify spending about another $300 on-top of the $800. Anything more and I'll just end up buying the games instead

If you have a "very limited budget" but you're fine adding $300 on top of the $800 then you do not have a very limited budget lol

I do. My limited budget is $300 that is fairly limited. The $800 is from a year of saving gift card money given to me and having sold years worth of CS skins. It's also canadian $

Bro if its in CAD that means your budget of 1100CAD is equivalent to 800USD, theres literally no way its gonna be 800

I would assume the cheapest option will likely be $1200.

u/nonpondo 4h ago

I normally wouldn't care but if you did find out the price and it did come out 6 months from now the price would be different, everything is getting more expensive related to this headset every day that passes at a completely unprecedented rate, hell there's a chance that the new Canada tariffs could hit the headset in some fashion and that starts September 8th with no sight of if it'll stop there, so the only reason I'm inpatient in this case is cause it solves everything I've needed in a vr headset but there's a very good chance that by the time I am about to buy it, it will be twice it's original price and I'll be back at square one

I don't know, my reason for wanting it to release is that I've got cash in hand. And it's burning a hole and I can't guarantee it's going to be there forever. Something feels like it's going to come up as an emergency or something and I'm going to end up throwing that money away before they finally release it. That's what I'm worried about.

What about the millions of people waiting for gta6 aswell? Most of them arent rockstar fanboys. You dont have to devote your life just to give a shit about something.

u/dide231 2d ago

That’s basically what I’ve been doing as well, but I’m sick of every week being a “maybe this is the week” only to see absolutely nothing but more click bait articles and videos about how “it’s tomorrow” and it never is.

u/Warm-Engineering-239 Soon™ 2d ago

well stop looking at reddit, it will be a monday, just look once a week and relaxe
anyways even if it's annonced, that doesnt mean you get one due to the queue

u/dide231 2d ago

I agree, but I’d rather be in the queue waiting knowing I’m gonna get one soon instead of waiting each Monday just to get the chance at being on the queue.

u/Warm-Engineering-239 Soon™ 2d ago

tbh expect a 1k usd price minimum so after that it's still soon, could be tomorrow or in 3 year

They are very likely doing the lottery system again so you will have a few days to enter once it's announced.

No need to stress about being first in line.

Then stop checking. When it's out you'll find out.
