only when your in the room Mr.Cookie, only when your in the room.It was a verbal tirade, he's a right potty mouth that one, we have to mute him on Mondays golf
the original message was related to steamframe pre-ordering and i was confused by the posted.
the original post :
What do you think about extreme scalping measures put in place due to likely low supply for launch
I’m guessing most people won’t like this but it’s probably the right thing to do because of how low supply will be
Mr Cookie, is Delisious *licks lips*
The day pre-orders open the first 10 mins will be limited to Steam accounts that are 20+ years old
After 20 mins orders will be limited to accounts 10+ years old
Then after 30 mins it will be open to all accounts
i re-read after posting realising it wasn't an official post but someone's wish list. i thought i had missed an announcement or something. wasnt a good night that day.

If they know there's this much demand, and very little supply.. that usually only goes one way.. good luck to those who get suckered..

your right
you weren't here last week, they all left the room !
If it was possible at some point to pre-order, I doubt this would be an option, would anyone consider doing that..?
Generally, albeit mainly software games, I have rarely had a good experience of doing that, often ending in regret.
I would still be pleasantly surprised if this makes it out, and not just a paper launch, in the first half of this year. Even more so if the price is reasonable, below £800, by quite a bit.

Told u lot that u won't get it by the 1st half of the year!
Glad I got a meta 3 instead of waiting for this

Quest 3 is better for me for sure because I am in passthrough so much so the Frame was a non-starter for me anyway.
How hard or expensive would it have been to just add a simple colour camera, even if it had none of the usual mixed reality stuff like dynamic occlusion etc, a standalone device, which by its very nature can be used almost anywhere, needs decent passthrough imo so the surroundings can be adequately seen. I appreciate i've voiced this before but I still can't get my head around Valve not including decent passthrough in 2026 on a standalone device.
Maybe there's a lot more to it that I don't understand.

the chip they are using is restricting colour pass through and the amount of cameras it can have. if it was the XR chip it would be included.
