Valve priced the Steam Frame in six currencies on September 14. Stripped of VAT and converted at that day's ECB reference rates, the 256GB kit costs less before tax in Poland, the UK, Germany and Australia than its $1,059 US price, and the reservation terms say more about supply than any figure Valve released.

Valve priced the Steam Frame at $1,059 for 256GB and $1,299 for 1TB, with controllers, a wireless adapter and Half-Life: Alyx in the box. The charger is a $29 add-on, and color passthrough comes from a third-party camera.

Steam Frame signups close Thursday, September 17 at 10 AM Pacific. Who qualifies, how the shuffle and 72-hour purchase window work, and what to decide before checkout.

Valve spent more than a year porting Half-Life: Alyx to run on the Steam Frame with no PC, Workshop mods included. I spent three months saying the headset had no launch game.
