Too early for me to judge yet, but I do like a nice cube.

It's a moot point because it's not something I'm going to be able to budget anytime soon, but I'm fascinated with VR so I find the Frame intriguing. I'll be very curious about the pricing for both the Frame and the Cube. The more I learn about the headset, the more I wonder if they're not going to try and eat some cost on the Frame to encourage people to buy the Cube. Apparently, the Frame was designed with a mentality of Streaming First. It even runs a less capable chip than the steam deck, in order to tackle thermal issues. So while it will be able to run a lot of titles from your Steam Library, it's primary usage was meant to be a wireless streaming headset for your Cube. It will be interesting to see how they present that in the pricing.

From a developer standpoint, having a set hardware standard with large adoption sounds like a dream when it comes to optimizing. Plus, less Microsoft hardware out there is always a plus.

Oh, something else I found out that was pretty cool. The Frame can track the new Steam Controller. Neat!
