I'm hoping there is a better selling point than a really good home theater for single people. When I was single, having a TV and couch was valuable so that even though they were 95% used alone, they could be shared with guests.

If I was into media enough to spend $3,500 to have a great experience, it would be a bummer if I couldn't watch a movie with someone else occasionally.




You can just share the headset and each look into one eye.


I mean, you can still have the TV to watch things with guests.

Or if you're both into the big screen VR experience, you can both wear headsets. Watching movies in a shared virtual movie theater is already a thing and works great. Even better is that you can be in your home and your romantic partner can be in their home (or traveling) and you can still watch together.


If I'm watching a movie with my romantic partner, I'd like to be in the same room as them lol. Not really interested in a VR Chat relationship.


Yes, that's preferable when it's an option - unfortunately, that's not always possible, especially when life intervenes. Wouldn't you still want a way to share a space with your partner and watch a movie with them?

For the low low price of 7000$, vs 1000$ for a TV.


I mean, right now it's for the low low price of $500 for a pair of Oculus Quest 2's. Just as big screen, but you'll effectively get 1080p quality on the virtual screen rather than 4K.

Obviously for the Vision we'll wait for prices to come down.
