All consoles are sold at below production costs, at least early in their life, partly to drive uptake, but also because the manufacturers make more money from the game sales. I think this is even true of the Steamdeck.

Particularly true of the Steam Deck, especially with the new OLED updates!

Just watched it, it's pretty impressive. It's the 20 second video with the camera quite high up the rocket, right?Ok for something really incredible, load YouTube VR and play the 360 video of the recent SpaceX Starship launch.
This is good as well. It puts you inside NASA and right at the launch pad with a tasty launch towards the end. Go into your Meta TV app and you'll find it there.

Will give it a blast after finishign Alyx
Will give it a blast after finishign AlyxYesterday I remembered that the Pre-order of Asgard's Wrath 2 came with some rewards. So I claimed those rewards, one of which was a new environment for the Quest 3.
Did anyone try this new environment out? Well, I did, and to say it's underwhelming is an understatement. It's pathetically bad. Why did they bother releasing such a half hearted attempt?? All the stock environments are far better.
I hope this isn't some kind of omen about the game!!

Yeah, I use it, it's not great. As an area in a game when you're doing stuff, I figure it could be fine. But as just an environment, it's rather dull.
No doubt Basti will be posting the reward environments up that'll work on Quest 2, like he did with the pro 'Cascadia' environment that now works on Q3/3
Yes, Dull is a great word to describe it!!
Being able to play eleven table tennis in my own room is really handy, I can poke my opponents half of the table out the window. Thrill of the fight is so much more convenient in MR too, no chance of accidentally smashing a wall. The little experience that meta releases with it is a great introduction of just how much fun it can be with the depth sensor and room tracking.
You need to try it in a game. Playing Demeo with the game sitting on the table in your room and posters stuck up on the walls is a pretty good experience. Also, the new game Assassins Creed Nexus uses mixed reality really well as you switch between locations in the game.
Forgot about Demeo, but then I usually play facing the corner of my bedroom, so it's better off in the Demeo room, rather than mixed. I would rather it be in mixed though if playing with a table and some space to move around.

Haha, can't believe I didn't mention Eleven Table Tennis in MR, as that's the only way I play it now.
The issue with MR is that a large proportion of players just don't have much space to use it properly, like most don't have enough room for full roomscale games.
Whenever you see MR demonstrated in videos the users have huge living rooms devoid of furniture, rather than the small cluttered environments most of us live in. Also even on the Q3 it requires some setup to work properly for the more complicated experiences, and this is a massive pain in the backside on the Pro which doesn't have room scanning.
However I like MR when it's done well. I have just enough space in my living room to use it well but I have to kick my family out to use it, so I don't do it very often.
The MR in Assassin's Creed though is really well done, and adds to the immersion and feeling that you are actually a part of the story, but that doesn't require a special room setup.

It's more fun to kick the family while using it

These are brilliant. Excellent immersion. Go to youtube VR in the headset and type in sliceoflifevr to bring up these videos. So far I've watched NYC Comic Con, Bourbon Street New Orleans and Virginia Beach.
