No prices yet. I may never financially recover from this.

    2026 feels like a lifetime away but my wallet already feels the impending doom. Guess ramen it is for the next few years.

      I’m reckoning about $1,280 all in for the controller, VR headset, and Steam Machine.

      I can’t see it being much more than that because otherwise you would be better off just getting your own build and putting Linux on it.

        I think you’re way off, they said that they will price the GabeBox like a PC and not a console, that probably means the price for it will be around 1k since that’s what a similar PC would cost, here’s an example of the price of a prebuilt PC with a 7600 which is the GPU that they mentioned as being the closest to the one they use https://periphio.com/gaming-pcs/firestorm-7600-prebuilt-amd-gaming-pc/

        Also the Frame was mentioned as being priced less but close to the Index, and the Index was also 1k with the base stations, so I think the Frame will likely be very close to that as well.

        The controller I would guess around $70, but there’s likely to be one together with the Machine, so all in all I think we’re looking closer to 2k. But I would be very happy to be wrong.
