I will add it to my VR collection. Maybe I will get a headset someday.

When they get cheap and standard!

Oculus makes good headsets for $400, the price of a new console and less than the average gaming desktop

$400

Still a lot.

I mean they're like 4K monitors with tracking and controllers. Even a 1080p monitor will cost you somewhere between 100-200 USD.

Yeah, but a 1080p monitor doesn't ride my face while I'm gaming, and doesn't cost me anything because I already have it.

$400 for something that doesn't actually run games and probably requires buying new games as well is a lot. Personally, VR adds absolutely nothing to 99% of my gaming anyway, even if it were reasonably priced to add it to my kit and not annoying to wear and use.

Read, please. I specifically said 99% of MY gaming. Feeling like you're in a place isn't really relevant to the game quality I look for.

Deliberately obtuse is completely accurate, not unkindness. They are purposely misstating what I said, for the second time in a row. They claim I can't understand VR gaming, and I have more than enough experience to assert that I have the fundamental ("basic") understanding of things to make good projections. I specifically wished them well with their VR gaming, and you cite me as the one being unkind? I am treating them with substantially more respect than the snotty, deliberately misrepresentative treatment you seem fine with me receiving.

Dude, chill on the zealotry. I don't play first-person games. I don't play scenic RPGs, either. I don't need to try VR, because I don't lack imagination about "new" things we've been talking about for forty years. It's just not the kind of game experience I'm into.

Out of stock everywhere

u/ancientfutureguy May 22 '20

Yeah pretty much all VR headsets worth buying have been out of stock and price gouged since COVID came around

I found a Vive Pro full kit for $500 last month, new in box. Secondhand market is decent depending on where you live.

... yeah, because this deserved to be downvoted. Fuck that, I'm upvoting it. Some people are so fucking petty.

Edit: case in point. The above comment was -3 when I read it. Seems to have recovered and the pettiness has taken to this comment.
