As spotted by XR analyst Brad Lynch, Valve has imported a large number “virtual reality devices” to its US-based warehouses, which can be none other than its long-awaited Steam Frame standalone VR headset.
As per the public records, Valve has imported some 32,000 kg (~35 US tons) of the VR devices in question, which was notably one week after the company imported 40,000 kg (~44 US tons) of “game consoles,” unmistakably its Steam Machine Linux-based PC.
The chance of it being sub-1k are incredibly slim.
They might have a 8gb ram version at 999 €.
Seems unlikely since the specs are already listed and they list both storage capacities and only 1 ram capacity, plus varying ram amounts would throw a huge wrench into the verified program.
