–Apologies for shitty thumbnail–
Looks like some kind of review embargo has been released, ETA Prime’s apparently been sitting on a review model Steam Machine for a month.

Oh holy shit, we also apparently have prices and a wait list sign up that… apparently closes on June 25th, 10am Pacific time.

EDIT 2:
This is all on the same day that we get news that… AMD figured out how to make FSR4 work on RDNA 3 / 7000 series GPUs, and, Steam is currently or just about to push a beta Proton update to Experimental, which will give this thing (as well as any PC w/ AMD 7000 series GPU) FSR4 support for basically any game that currently supports FSR3.

So… that’s a lot of news.
Not in the market, but the prices could’ve been a lot worse. Lottery wait list is also good news after the clusterfuck of the controller launch.
Hope I can snag a Frame, because I’ve literally been waiting since the Oculus 1 for this kind of VR headset.
Yeah, I’m guessing they’re also uh, in addition to the lottery, going to be attempting some backend strategy to attempt to weed out likely ‘this is a fake account for resellers’.
