    it’s 1995, I can’t afford a virtual boy, but the tech is just around the corner

    it’s 2012, I can’t afford the Oculus Rift, but the tech is just around the corner

    it’s 2026, I can’t afford the Frame, but the tech is just around the corner.

      I mean the tech is here unless you’re looking for full holosuite.

      Quest is good and cheap. You can Sideload apps, run Steam VR and never touch a Meta app.

      Doing this actually hurts Meta because it’s assumed Meta underprices the hardware and makes up the difference in software like other consoles. It’s win-win.

    Crossing fingers that it’s priced high enough to keep scalpers the fuck away.

      At this point there’s really no price point too high for scalpers as there’ll always be a sap who’ll pay more.
