    It’s a brutal time to be releasing hardware like this.

    GPU prices, RAM, SSDs, all inflated through the roof.

    This should have been the price of a PS5 Pro, with the performance of a PS5 and it’s not even that.

    I still want the Frame, but only because my OG Rift died a couple of months back. I really don’t want to have to go crawling back to Meta for a Quest 3 when I see the price of the Frame, but I’m not optimistic. They really need a reduced spec Frame that just does the streaming portion. With RAM and GPU prices as they are, that would at least make some sense.

      I’ll be buying the Frame no matter what.

      I also had the OG Rift but since I moved to Linux it’s been nothing more than a paperweight.

      I could go to Meta, but I honestly don’t want to do that to myself. The way I see it, the Frame is the only way I get to keep a small amount of privacy and dignity in this world which increasingly has neither.

      So I’m saving up my pennies.

      The price does spook me about the Frame, but I may get it out of desperation no matter the cost because like you said, there’s no way in hell I’d buy a Meta product. I absolutely loved my Quest 2, before Meta pushed all that metaverse shit and made the thing unbootable.
