If your post is only relevant to one hardware device (Deck/Machine/Frame/etc) please specify which one as part of the title or by using a device flair.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:

- Posts must be related to Steam Hardware or Steam OS in an obvious way.
- No piracy, there are other communities for that.
- Discussion of emulators are allowed, but no discussion on how to illegally acquire ROMs.
- This is a place of civil discussion, no trolling.
- Have fun.

The quest 3 is being sold for under €600. Why are we expecting over 1000 for it?
Because Valve manufactures hardware for profit, Meta subsidizes the hell out of it and sells it at a loss to get you into their walled garden.
Right. Good point
In addition to the other answers: I'm a huge VR fan, but gave away my quest 3 and haven't used VR since.
Fuck corporate surveillance, fuck Zuckerberg, and fuck walled gardens. I will gladly pay 3x the cost for a similar device that isn't a locked down, walled garden, surveillance nightmare made by a company owned by an unrepentant fascist.
Yeah im reluctantly using mine until this comes out. Dont mind if its more expensive
