Monochrome cameras = bad passthrough. And LCD panel without any meaningful brightness or HDR.. mh. Not really convinced. Doesn’t seem like an upgrade over the Quest 3.

True, who needs a quest 3 when you have this.

I have the same feeling about this as the SteamDeck!
This is gonna be revolutionary, imo!

Just hope they don’t put the cube at 800$. Otherwise, nobody will buy it.
They should make a big move and put it at the same price as PS5 !!

Will I be able to play Kingdom Come Deliverance in VR? that would be sick, I was always very curious about VR but now with Valve stepping in, maybe I’ll give it a chance.

Just take my money Gabe. Glad they officially announced this before I was going to get a Quest 3

How much do you think its going to be? And does it run 4k/60fps in max/ultra settings?

I have no interest in the steam machine just cause I don’t wanna deal with hackers on online games

Ghost Town is incorrectly labeled as Half Life Alyx in this video

For the car headset, I’m really excited for that, but I already have the Oculus 3 😅 so I don’t know if I should even get it, even though it looks cool. But that Steam controller, I’m sure I’ll be getting that for sure 😊

So valve does a better box game console that Microsoft Xbox 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If Valve pulls this off at affordable prices, I could see myself selling all my Quest 3s. This has the potential to wipe out all competitors. This is the most compelling gaming environment I have ever seen.
