        Yeah, dont get me wrong, its nice to see another device in the inside-out space (to avoid fucking Meta), but I think its going to be too expensive to compete with Meta on the main stage.

        But I would also have liked to see a takeover of the high end again, to see Valve push the limits.

          I hope you’re underestimating the number of people who want vr but refuse to buy a quest because of meta.

          I guess valve will decide what comes next when they have an idea for how the frame does. At least the hype makes it sound like it could sell well.

            Yea, I see why they have done it, its a good move! But I still want an insane high end headset :D

      Depends on what’s important to you I guess. My Index is collecting dust, mostly because it’s heavy and fiddling with the cables always killed immersion for me.

        Yea, its a good alternative, albeit more expensive, to Meta’s Quest devices. I’ll pick one up, but I do want to see Valve target the high-end again and push the VR space like they did with the Index.

            I sure, if/when they do an Index 2 it’ll be wireless optional at least. They’ve already developed the tech for it. I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t be included with the “no compromises” headset.

            I thought that is what it was going to be, both tracking options in a next-level headset!
