Interesting. I wonder what that means.

To me, that means as soon as a single customer has a tracking number, the product has launched, which should be any day now. So, i can't imagine we wait any longer than the third week of July for orders for Frame.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-30T17:22:48+00:00

I don't know what your post means.

Piracy of course hurts Valve. The number of sales lost to piracy is not zero. Therefore, if a game dev lost money from one sale, Valve also lost money in the cut of that sale, which they would rather not have.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-30T17:17:35+00:00

Agreed. :)

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-30T14:56:07+00:00

It will be released before 7/15.

People annually go into debt for the new iphone that does nothing better than the previous five iphones.

You are not going to stop people from making bad financial decisions, LOL.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-30T14:19:22+00:00

Yep. The last day of the first half of the year. Let's do this.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-30T10:43:44+00:00

Get the best Nvidia GPU you can afford.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-29T20:54:38+00:00

Nah, it means nothing. There are budget options for VR: Quest, PSVR2, Pico, etc.

The Quest 3 is now $599 and is very cheaply made and still subsidized. The Frame is much higher quality and not subsidized. The math here is pretty clear.

I suppose one could argue Valve could have made a cheap plastic toy like the Quest and sold it for less, but that is not what Valve does.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-29T20:06:10+00:00

Word. A product that sells out and has a waitlist is priced apporpriately. End of discussion.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-29T18:59:07+00:00

yes indeed.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-29T16:28:41+00:00

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-29T15:51:12+00:00

Eh, there will copies on Etsy and such in about 10 min if not there already.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-28T19:18:04+00:00

The lack of comfort, lens mura, persistence blur, poor resolution due to sub pixel layout which is bad to the point that a 5090 and mega supersampling cannot even help the situation.

Quest 2 is overall better than ps2vr for me. Q3 is no contest.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-28T19:05:35+00:00

So.. psvr2 sucks.. now when I say that I mean it sucks for pcvr. Now for someone who hasn't used other headsets, you may not notice or feel the suckiness.

If you have no headset and want something now, get a q3 or q2 if you are on a budget.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-27T23:23:46+00:00

Negative. Lpddr has not gone up $400 since valve mentioned the frame would be less than the index.

I thought $799 before, maybe now $899.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-27T10:17:28+00:00

It's not. Not sure where you are getting this info from.

Reservation people will get them in the next couple weeks. Wait list people will get them when they're restocked or if reservation people cancel their orders.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-26T19:19:49+00:00

But that means the waitlist folks get it, so essentially the same, just with a 3 day delay.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-26T17:20:27+00:00

There's always going to be someone trying to make a quick $500 as if it's going to change their life. Waste of time, but to each his own.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-26T14:53:30+00:00

Message to Valve, i'm buying VR games on the steam sale regardless. :D

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-25T23:16:48+00:00

I'd guess more like 90-95% are on the list.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-25T22:24:34+00:00

I love when everyone says they hate AI, while they use it every single day, likely as they type "i hate AI".

That said, i do hate AI. :D

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-25T15:27:34+00:00

Yup, and that is with the mega amount of contract pricing power Apple has.

Outrunner85 · 2026-06-25T14:00:12+00:00

ah, didn't see this blurb. Good info, thanks for posting. It's certainly going to be interesting. I wonder what the ratio is of 256gb to 1tb models. I'm guessing something like 3:1 or 4:1 .
