I love Valve. Not counting the trip to Seattle for the Index Launch, I love Valve Customer Support. My 1st gen Steam Deck had a swelling battery. It's 3 years old. I asked support where I could order a good battery and they asked me to send it in. They fixed it!
@gingasvr I ordered $2800 of 3d printing filament and if it had arrived in April, I would have had to pay $3850 for 145% tarrifs. The next day it dropped to 30%, $825 but the company took it back. Thanks TACO
I became a Meta Affiliate several months ago. Here is a list of Meta discounts, including Ray-Ban Meta glasses and bHaptics vest along with 10% discount on most Meta Quest games.

@gingasvr I think its going to be great, (I hope they invite me up to the launch party accidentally again) PCVR is for the elite. Get them in with a Quest, (I know alot of people who do not have a VR Ready PC). The low cost of entry gets them in and then they upgrade to PCVR.
So long, @BestBuy. Cancelled Total Tech, been paying $4/mo for this monitor that was slowly going bad. Today I was told it needed to be shipped for repair, takes weeks. Expected it to be replaced with a deductable. Then they tried to charge me $79 for shipping.
A Valve leaker claims the Valve Deckard headset is set to launch by the end of this year at $1200, including first-party "games or demos":

Several people have confirmed that Valve is aiming to release new standalone, wireless VR headset (codename Deckard) by the end of 2025. The current price for the full bundle is set to be $1200. Including some "in-house" games (or demos) that are already done. Valve want to give the user the best possible experience without cutting any costs. Even at the current price, it will be sold at a loss. A few months ago, we saw leaked models of controllers (codename Roy) in the SteamVR update. It will be using the same SteamOS from Steam Deck, but adapted for virtual reality. One of the core features is the ability to play flat-screen game that are already playable on Steam Deck, but in VR on a big screen without a PC. The first behind closed doors presentations could start soon.
