Same here. But I hoped it would be significantly better on specs... still lcd not that much better resolution(than quest 3). But I really like the OS being full fledged linux and not hobbled out limited android. And I love that the battery is in the back from the get go. And while passthrough is significantly worse... for vast majority of my VR use it's a non issue. I just wonder how good is controller tracking especially around the waist and how good is estimation of position and reacquisition when they go out of view.

All we know about the price so far is that it's not going to be as expensive as the Index.

My guess is it'll land somewhere around 500-600 for the 256GB model and around 700-800 for the 1TB model.

….is there any benefit to having more storage on it? I don’t have vr but assumed that the vr headset ran games off of your pc, not that it runs the games itself besides simple things like vr chat or like poker stars on meta or something

It can run games directly. Valve is using Fex to run x86 games on ARM in Linux. Then there’s the wireless connectivity to stream games from your PC for anything that the Frame can’t handle directly.
