My guess is around $1,000 USD
They haven't said the final price, but they've said it will be cheaper than the index, so definitely the under $1000.
I thought they said they are aiming to at least not be more expensive than the Index? So 1000 USD might still be in the ball range, but it might very likely be less expensive.
Seeing as the Quest is their main competitor it'll have to be less expensive if it's to gain any traction.
Not necessarily. The quest is a very closed ecosystem. Steam frame being far more open is a huge selling point for them and might attract enough enthusiasts.
