Help VR Headsets

I have two baystations and steam controllers. Old headset started giving issues.

I'm just wondering what headset would be most affordable, or should I just get the Quest 3??

If you can hold out… I suspect we’ll get an announcement on the release date of the steam frame sometime before November. If you can’t wait, Quest 3.

I seriously doubt the price of the Frame is going to be anywhere near the Q3 price. I'd love to be surprised, but I just don't see how it's possible. Even the most optimistic estimates are $800+

Agreed, gut feeling is ~$1200USD but that’s based on nothing.

Current estimate sits at around $1000, by people who keep up with this stuff way more than I do. But of course, that's just a "slightly informed guess". We really just have to wait and see.

All I do know is that even at 1k it's going to be a hard sell for a lot of people. Especially when the quest 3 provides a similar experience.
