Isn't this the same price as when Vive came out?
And I think that had a more sophisticated placement system than this one.
I know prices are high currently, but the general idea is that the new should be better and cheaper.

    The plan was likely cheaper but component prices are mad currently. It makes sense to launch but the price means it won't hit sales targets. Hopefully if the AI bubble bursts, component prices will drop and the Frame price will drop. But looks doubtful in the next year at least.

    When the AI bubble burst there will be dirt cheap RAM for everybody.
    It's quite entertaining to follow the shitshow that is AI and datacenters. Especially OpenAI and Oracle. 🤡 😂

    Cheap RAM and a comeuppance for AI hucksters will be nice... buuut, after the similar dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s there was a global economic recession, so I'm not 100% looking forward to it.
