No prices yet. I may never financially recover from this.

I want them all, but mostly the Frame. Finally decent Linux VR? On a standalone device that can also stream from a PC? On ARM?! It seems too good to be true.

    And: "cheaper than the index“ Sure that only means less than 1000usd (unless they mean the headset only price at 500....?) but that's still better than I was assuming it'd be.

    wonderful time for linux on arm as well. if i read the post right, it seems there will be standalone games that will be compatible with it- even non vr ones.

    Allowing diversity of hardware and operation system environments is going to be amazing. arm is so much more efficient and being able to run linux on arm while getting mainstream games is going to be cool as fuck

    Even better: they're developing a new translation layer in the style of proton for x86 to ARM called FEX, so theoretically most x86 games will run on the frame. Naturally it's also compatible with proton so you can go windows game -> x86 linux -> ARM Linux. We'll have to see how that runs but it's certainly exciting to think about.

    Same, but I live in Australia so I'm not holding my breath. The deck has only just officially launched here. I bought my deck on the grey market, with a UK plug, but that ended up being a couple of hundred $ more than when it officially launched here.
