Feels underwhelming, especially since it's 2TB what you'll want to go with. However with handheld consoles signaling the new prices... I think the price of SM is the new reality of a budget gaming setup. Part of me feels, we're seeing murder of gaming and PC tinkering/DIY in broad daylight.

Glad they learned from the controller debacle and implemented a reservation system up front this time.

Price is higher than I was hoping for, but it makes sense with memory and storage costs being what they are.

I'm more interested in the Frames, I always wanted to try and get into VR but it was always either too expensive or too Facebook.

So - just curious - where do people speculate the frames price point at after seeing this? I’ve been eyeing that more as my first entry into VR.

I'll probably get one because I want a living room PC for couch gaming, and mainly want the official hardware support from Valve.

Also the few seconds timing from pressing a button on steam controller to my game being ready sounds super nice. Lower friction is nicer for the nontechnical family members to do couch games too.

Less powerful than an actual PS5 at that price... no thanks. Valve was apparently going to sell this starting at $750.... thanks AI!

Wanted to replace Xbox SX with this, but at this price performance to value ratio is tough to swallow.
