Jesus, reading this made me feel like I wrote this.

I haven't touched my headset in months

Reading it gave me a headache.

It's why I ended up selling mine

Made a pretty penny on it due to when I sold it

I ended up selling it for $750 with the deluxe audio strap right around the time Halflife Alex came out

I gave my Index to my son who has the time and physicality to use it. I'm just too old for action gaming now.

I would have loved it if I was 30 years younger. I can do more from a chair with my desktop PC than an Apple Vision Pro can. It's just another Apple Con.

Translation for those who haven't just had a stroke -

Aren't they all?

I've got the original Vive, which is just my 'Beatsaber player' but due to having a wife, a job, and shit to get done, it lives in its protective case. When i do get a minute to use it both controller batteries are dead due to time living in a box

If they are, then this vision pro is truly extortion.

VR requires a bit of setup, which is off putting. I dont have the space to have mine out all the time, theres also a shortage of high quality games. Waiting on Valve to push the envelope again.

They are. This said, $1,000 or less can buy you the best VR rig on the market right now. This thing is four times that.

Let's be honest the min you see a picture of a half eaten apple on a thing just add a 0 to the price tag
