An overpriced VR headset.
Arnt they all.
I got the original vive which just my beatsaber player but due yo having a wife a job and chit to get done it lives in its protective case and when I do get a min yo use it both controler batteries are dead due to time living in a box
Jesus, reading this made me feel like I wrote this.
I haven't touched my headset in months
Reading it gave me a headache.
It's why I ended up selling mine
Made a pretty penny on it due to when I sold it
I ended up selling it for $750 with the deluxe audio strap right around the time Halflife Alex came out
I gave my Index to my son who has the time and physicality to use it. I'm just too old for action gaming now.
I would have loved it if I was 30 years younger. I can do more from a chair with my desktop PC than an Apple Vision Pro can. It's just another Apple Con.
Translation for those who haven't just had a stroke -
If they are, then this vision pro is truly extortion.
VR requires a bit of setup, which is off putting. I dont have the space to have mine out all the time, theres also a shortage of high quality games. Waiting on Valve to push the envelope again.
Vr with passthrough
Most modern headsets have passthrough, its not some new feature. It is the part that Apple focused on though.
