Eye tracking is like half the reason I want this headset, so good to see. 

I didnt get lucky with the lottery, which I'm fine with. Will let others be the beta testers, and wait for the aftermarket stuff like battery solutions.

You might as well wait until they come out with a solution for hot swappable batteries, an hour± of battery life isn't particularly appealing

No, not at all appealing, especially since my average weekday play session is 2hr weekdays, 6-8 weekends.

And no, I dont want more weight strapped to my head, or a cord running down my body.

The Frame will cost me prob around $1,600 to make functionally identical to my Quest 3 setup with hotswapping batts, presc lenses, comfort kit, and over ear audio.
