Be more specific. What exactly about my ‘tone’ don’t you like? Quote me even.



I just think your comment just signals ignorance of the industry. They're targeting this headset for people who are looking for a portable vr workstation with an angular resolution high enough to simulate 1080p monitors.

How exactly are they going to achieve the visual specs to achieve that at the price point you're expecting?

They are never going to sell something like this at high volume, not only because the market for it isn't there yet but because this goes beyond the specs of consumer level headsets - which means they wouldn't be able to source the required components to even address such a hypothetical demand.


You ^ have no clue.

I’m going to take it to the level above offensive tough love and just give up at this point. If you want a $5k headset to emulate a $100 1080p monitor, with a 3 hour battery life, and switches for every sensor so the secret service can’t see how messy your bedroom is, then this product is for you. Good luck


No need to be an ass. Also, you're quoting the limited edition price which seems to amount to aesthetics and priority shipping.

Elsewhere on this page, you literally said that you would have been happy to have paid 2000 for the quest 2 - which this device would utterly dogpile both in terms of optics and raw power.

Cute though that you feel the need to paint the completely normal aversion to having a corporation having the ability to depth scan your surroundings at all times as tin foil hat territory.

I'd rather you skip the hysterics and just "give up" if you have nothing constructive to say.

P.S. I own a Quest 2.
