Thanks for the heads up!

Tbh, the price is about what I expected as well. Not horribly different from a fully decked out Valve Index when they were new, and theyre including the controllers alongsode the headset this time.

You'd hope it'd have been cheaper due to the lack of external sensors to buy, but inflation and ram/storage prices going up was inevitable. I just hope it's not DOA from people comparing it to Meta's (heavily subsidized) options

I'm buying one because giving money to Meta simply isn't an option in terms of my own principles.

Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.
