Beginning of this year, I was stoked to get the controller, machine, and frame.
After the controller came out, decided it was a bit too pricey for the partner and me, not to mention how impossible it was to get your hands on one anyway, so we decided to skip.
Then the Machine comes along, and could not justify that cost either. Wanted a small living room box and it looks so sleek, but the price to power ratio just is not there for me, so decided to skip this too.
Well, all money saved for the Frame right? Sigh… Nah man, not at this price. Not to play Beatsaber and Pistolwhip every one in a while. Ah well.
Good luck to all on the lottery, hope you enjoy it.
Thanks AI!
I don’t have any advice for the controller and frame, unfortunately. But check out mini PCs for a potentially cheaper Steam Machine replacement. You can easily put SteamOS on it and get a very similar experience.

I was super pumped about these as well, and same experience. I have a steam deck and I really just leave docked to my TV for 99% of the time. The steam frame is somewhat surprising (I thought it might come in at a higher price point), but based on my experience just trying out a few other VR sets, it feels like a really expensive gimmick.
I had to give up my index 3 years ago but thought I’d get back into VR with the frame.
Only to find there are only one or two new games/experiences even worth trying out. In 3 years…
