Before we get our hopes up, remember that saying "launch in summer" still could mean up to 4 months from now, summer technically ends in September.

Before the comments just become another pricing argument, I want to say I'm still hyped. These look like really cool products.
Hard to be hyped about something I'm almost inevitably not going to be able to afford, though. No matter how badly I want the frame.
Yeah, and going by my steam deck, I'm thinking valve does good hardware
Everyone over here arguing about the price and I'm just remembering how we got Half Life Alyx when they released the Index and hoping they surprise release HL3 with the launch of the Steam Machine and have it compatible with the PC.
Steam Machine is (or will be) a PC, so I'm not sure how they would/could make HL3 and not have it be compatible with PC. Or am I missing something?
I'm sure it would be, I'm more just referring to how HL Alyx was VR only and upset a lot of people
It could be Linux exclusive, which for most people outside of the Linux bubble is what PC means. That being said I doubt Valve would do that.
It would be exactly the chance they would use to release a new game. It’d be an opportunity to show off the features on their new controller too.
I remember there being rumors years and years ago that they were working on a VR + flatscreen online game. No idea if it’s still a thing but it would be the perfect release for these.
I sold my quest 2's in preparation for this
Will happily re buy pistol whip on steam
For this or the steam frame?
Steam frame. Already have a rog Ally x and dock. Would be nice to have better performance though
Yeah I'm tempted by the steam frame. Never tried VR. But I'm not sure my old 3050 laptop will have the muscle to play decent games for it, might wait and see.
Steamdeck increased in price 200-300 dollars and still sold out. It made the Switch 2's $50 price increase seem cheap. Steam machine is going to be way overpriced and still do well. I don't have any faith prices will go back to anything reasonable anymore because people have shown they'll buy it at these prices.
I think I'm more likely going to buy the Playnix console of it comes back in stock. The Steam Machine won't fit in my TV unit and based on the reviews of the Steam Controller I'm not that bothered by its inclusion.
I'll wait for the price steam sets, and compare it to the performance of minis I can get at that price. I'll give Valve a boost, because I believe in the quality, and Devs will target that hardware.
But, my Beelink mini, I'm using as a sever, has been going strong.
