Edit: fixed the title to match the article, I wrongly stated that Valve said the price was supposed to be $750, when that’s just IGN’s estimate base on Valve’s statements.

I’m dreading what the Steam Frames are going to cost.
To be fair, the Frame was never going to be cheap.
Tbf, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 with 256 GB shouldn’t be insane.
If the index cost $1000 without a battery, storage, memory and a SoC in 2019, I can’t imagine the frame is going to be anything below $1,500 with 2026 pricing.
Though the Index did use an intricate OLED screen and it had the lighthouses and finger tracking controllers (they have 87 different sensors per controller). Without the AIpocalypse, the Frame was originally supposed to be the cheaper of the two.
2026 prices though, who knows. Painful, like any tech hardware, that’s for sure.
The Index did not have OLED screens, they used regular LCDs.
And even then, it would have a hard time competing against the base PS5 unfortunately. AI has risen the cost of everything for everyone, turns out
Except for the billionaires running the AI shitshow.
We wouldn’t want them to run out of money… Or life, would we?
512gb is Kong o ridiculous for minimum storage these days.
