Hopefully the Frames can compete with the Meta Quest in both price/performance. It will be good to have relatively affordable VR headset not made by Facebook.

It will be priced as it isnt locking you into a ecosystem like meta, so it will be of course a bit more pricey. ( rumors say roughly 1200$ )

Considering that Quest is sold at a loss and tries to make money forcing you to buy games, I don't think it's likely

@MoonlitSanguine@lemmy.zip @jcs@lemmy.world it would certainly be good for it to be relatively affordable but they're really not promising it will at the moment since they only said aiming it to be cheaper than an Index.

Wish I didnt have to wear glasses, otherwise I'd use my Index alot more.
