    I read this as "In upcoming days, you will get your chance to buy the Frame". The e-mail for the waiting list (after first wave) is different. EDIT: Congratulations!

    I tried the passthrough on PS VR2 with its monochromatic cameras and it worked well enough to be able to move in the real.world or chat with the headset owner. Frame seems to have infrared cameras that give the pinky-violet hue which may be a bit worse than monochromatic, but also.makes it usable in dark. I will see how it works. The add-on camera is nice but quite pricy for "just adding color" (I know it can do more).

    I also think straps are needed for hand controllers. Being able to utilize full fi ger movement or just not worry about dropping controllers while playing... It seems worth it just for that.

    Another thing is my kids with their smaller geads/faces/noses will use it and the extra nose skirt seems to be needed for them. Too bad they sell it separately, but the base price is high enough on its own, so I understand they don't ship it within the base price. Bad times for products like this and their pricing.

    Sorry for double reply. Did you get 256GB or 1TB?

    Are you getting addittional foam/seals? What do you thing about the 170€ high-res color AR camera?

    I like the camera. Being able to play normal.PC games or work on the desktop and "see" the real world seems good idea. Also taking real.world and making a model of it. But for now I will pass. I'll see what people do with it and maybe get it later or never.

    You'll get one eventually. I was waiting for Steam Deck for three months. I was helping people with their first Linux steps while not having a device to try them on! But since I got it, it got used HARD. The wait was worthwhile.

    I didn't expect to get one in the first wave. Well, I, personally, didn't get one, my daughter did :-D I hope she will let me play here and there... I have to finance it afterall :-D

    Funny thing is I was considering getting used Index a year ago. And then Frame dropped.

    Frame is lighter and also more balanced with battery being on the back of your head. Still, I will get the straps. Better be safe than sorry.

    I also watched Gamers Nexus video and I will be getting them too. I want them for finger tracking, so I can actually release the gamepads and they won't fall down. And the nose anti-bleed thing is good as my kids with their smaller heads and noses will be using it as well. The headstrap seems to be 50/50 - needed for some, unnecessary for others. We'll see!

    I'm happy for you! I'm really looking forward to getting this piece of concentrated technology into my hands. Ir ratber on my face.

    There are certainly a few people here, who will be buying Steam Frame VR headset.

    I enlisted myself a few days ago for the first wave lottery reservations. After a bit of thought, I also enlisted my daughter, to double my chances from almost 0% to double of that but still near zero in my eyes.

    A few minutes ago I got e-mail. I'm on waiting list after first wave goes out... Well, maybe this year?

    My daughter checked her e-mail as well. And what do you know? Doubling of the chances paid off and the chance was actually higher than near 0% - her account got picked by Valve! It seems we are getting the headset in upcoming days/weeks.

    Now the question is: Should we get the head and handstraps also? I think we should. But I don't knowbif I should get also new foam/seal. I'm not spending 170€ on color camera, at least not for now.

    Sorry for this kind of post, we are just so happy and I wanted to share the happiness. I hope some of you got on the list for first wave as well.

    Yeah, I'm spoiled, I want some decent wheel, we are talking Fanatec or similar. That means it can cost just as much as the GPU... and knowing how expensive GPU is and that I would need to spend twice the price. Sometimes in the future. But I would love to play some Assetto Corsa in VR with wheel and pedals!

    I'm gonna end up with Steam Frame. There is no other option for me. I may get it in May, but it will be Steam Frame. I love the openess that Valve makes it with. Theyir philosophy is easy to undertand - you bought it, it's yours, do whatever you want with it.

    I will definitely go.into sims. The thing is I need new GPU and I would love to have wbeel and pedals. All of that costs money and isn't exactly cheap.

    I know about Myst and Riven and I have them in my wishlist. I will definitely play those. I will have a look at the others you mentioned.

    I started playing RV there yet? with my friend.

    Well, in short, if you have friends who play PC games and who are great to stick with (jokes, funny, etc.), you go and buy the game right now. It is in sale for 5€, but even at full price of 8€, it is basically free.

    Why should you buy the game? Let's have a look at it.

    The game starts when you and your friend(s) ended just your camping vacation with your RV and you are ready to go home. But the road is closed and you have to take a little detour through wilderness. You will have to think how to get through various obstacles in your way, be it really bug rocks, canyons, half-deconstructed bridges, narrow mpuntain-side roads, river, venomous snakes, bears... You have to drive the RV through all of that using your wits, lumber, winch and other things. Sometimes you use many things at once to get over obstacle. You have to take care of the RV, fix it if it gets damaged. All this while drinking beer, eating burgers and smoking cigarettes with your friends.

    I have played only for a few hours and only with one friend, but I had the time of my life. It was just like we actually went for such a journey but without fear of breaking something or dying (both of which we did many times in the game).

    Just as I said in the beginning - if you have friends, buy the game and play it. It is worth even more than full price.

    I tried playing actual drums. I learned... Well, honestly, I can't do it. I can't coordinate the movements of my arms and legs to the tempo. I can ride a motorcycle, I lkve manual transmission in cars, I can do stuff with my legs and hands that must be precise enough yet do different motions at one time, but when it comes to music, I suck.

    I hope Beat Saber helps me with that. I like the concept, I like the tech behind it, I like that it was made by Czech studio (I'm Czech) and it is worldwide recognized just as well as Průša 3D printers. It all clicks with me, now just to play it and, if possible, get good at it. Or at least decent.

    And after (if ever) I get to the point when I plateau at the game I will play it for pure enjoyment :-) I won't get that far, I really suck at all those games - Guitar Hero, Patapon (I managed to play it somehow), Taiko No Tatsujin... You name it, I suck at it!

    I would be a great drummer... In a string quintet.

    Well, I want Frame for Beat Saber as an exercise, for Puzzling Places as unbelievable relax, I will surely play Alyx - as it seems to be the peak, as you said - and Talos Principle, which looked great in 2D and I can't wait to see it in VR, even though it may not be that great to control. I would love to play some Assetto Corsa or American/European Truck Simulator in VR as well! And maybe/probably use it as a big picture monitor.

    I imagine there are not many really good truly VR-only games, but that's not what I'm actually buying it for. But I will try a few.

    This is one of the reasons I'm going for Frame. The other one being the openess of the system - Valve truly means it when they say the device you buy is yours to have and use as you want.

    Having seen the Gamers Nexus review of the Frame, there sre other reasons the Quest 3 should be gathering dust - preferably not be bought at all. In short, if you haven't seen the review - privacy.
