Meta Announces $100 Quest 2 Price Increase From August 1st

Wireless / OLED / thicker, non-fresnel lenses - these are all nice-to-have things that add to the cost, and it's the cost that's putting people off the Vive headsets.

What SteamVR needs is a cheap sub-$250 option that is light, basic, and cheaper IPS like many of the $200-300 WMR headsets. I've used a couple and they're fine. If people like VR enough to expand their library they can invest in something nicer/wireless/OLED.

I would pay the cost if it delivers on this criteria ... up to $1,000 or so.

Then the Cosmos Elite pretty much delivers exactly what you want for $700 and can be upgraded to wireless for ??? I'm guessing probably another $200-400

LCD screen (no deep blacks). No inside out tracking (might be able to accommodate lighthouses in large room corners). Would be a challenge. Fresnel Lenses (Godrays). The old controllers' design are terrible compared to the Index / even WMR.

So you're getting to the issues I initially had then. There are good WMR headsets out there but they're blighted by WMR.

IMO beat saber is also one of the ''system seller'' other than HL Alyx, and that have been bundled since ..... forever.

And what's the issue with porn? if people want a new way to consume pornographic content, why not? This give VR a market to serve, perhaps porn game will last VR through the ''early adopter'' phase and into maturity, yay for technological progress!

No issue at all with porn carrying VR, not sure how you distilled that from my response, I kinda acknowledge there can be perceived value there

Heck, a lot of things started with porn. Humans...

I had a Samsung WMR headset years ago. I actually didn't mind the WMR back then ... very little issues. The ring around the controllers was quite massive and I had to try not to bang them together sometimes, depending on the game lol.
