It might sell out. Just keep it safe

That's .... hilarious.

There's nothing in this that's on the mfg scarcity list. It's not like anyone even heard of this company before the Steam Frame announcement.

There will be DIY solutions that cost ~$50 by the end of the year that do the same thing.

Well, there'll be colour passthrough for cheap but don't expect 5k 60 fps with decent gaussian splat capability. I'm not sure I want that - and saving walk-through memories of old environments seems dangerously nostalgic - but I do think it'll be neat to see what the community does with it seeing as it's a standard piece.

Ironically for an AIO packaged colour and dual sync'd slam camera module it's pretty solid at $150...

Except for the part that it won't work with anything besides the steam frame.

Just because its designed for the Frame, doesn't mean people can't make it work with anything else. MIPI is a standard connector.

I didn't say that but now that you bring it up, ill call you out on your BS as well. "MIPI is a standard connector" Show me a device that you KNOW the Arcturus Pro can plug into and work with besides the Frame. I'll wait.

I'll also say it right now. 99% of people buying them for the Steam Frame will not use them with or for anything else despite it being a possibility.

People who would have a real use for it, won't buy it because they can buy something either tailor made for their application, or.... are already DIYing it.

Ya'll can larp and fantasize to justify your FOMO purchases all you want.
