3500 bucks...and early NEXT year. kinda frigging sucks

the positive? quest 3 is coming out later this year

been waiting patiently with Q1....won't even look thru the Q2 that is a foot away from me, but nice to have it just in case the q1 dies on me. my kid used the q2 twice so far in 8months time

      spanker I agree, it's def not for me either, I might get the Q3 but only if the passthrough is good, if not, I'll continue to save towards a 1k-1.5k headset later down the road from a small company

        the price 😂🤣

        will be interesting to see how popular this thing gets... the price is a huge barrier but there are a lot of apple fanboys that would pay any amount of money for an apple product.

          Yeah that price point is absurd. I don’t know who they think they’re marketing to. Yes you’ll have some apple fanboys buy it, but this is like 1k more than a MacBook for Christ sakes. No thanks. With the current tech that is out there, I don’t see any reason why it would be 3k$ better than Q3. It could be better, but not THAT much better

            i did the SAME thing when lcd tv's came out....i was EAGER to see my porn on the screen...money was NO OBJECT for the best views

            so if sex has any play in this...lotta people think the same way

            doublevr exactly, even though i am completely priced out of there headset, THIS is what im taking from it, a huge positive

              spanker sounds good, to me it's just backwards, the quest you turn on and activate the pass through if you want, Apple turns on with their pass through automatically on, I bet you can turn it off an add a home menu back ground.

              But he said the pass through super crisp and it'll play 180 vr videos so I'm kinda sold on that alone 😏

              But how will it look if I dim my lights, that's what I wanna know.

                  well it apparently doesnt have controllers and depends on hand tracking and thats not going to work well (or at all) if there is little to no light.

                      SchnuppiLilac its possible that they may have some outward facing ir leds for illumination of the hands but im not sure given that they are already powering a lot of cameras and sensors in that thing in addition the main stuff (processor, displays, etc). their power budget would be very limited because this is meant to run off a small battery.

                          spacepirate I think the wording of the statement 'The external battery supports up to 2 hours of use, and all‑day use when plugged in' implies short battery life and that you will need to have more than one battery if you want to stay off leash for a longer time. Why else would they state the obvious, i.e. that a device will work all day when plugged in

                            For anyone interested in a more detailed breakdown and hands-on experience of the headset:

                            Supposedly the superb eye-tracking is the biggest gamechanger. I'm really excited, maybe the 2nd or 3rd generation will be for the masses at a cheaper pricepoint. But until then, there will be an entire ecosystem of apps and features ready!

                            They talk about it like it something brand spanking new to the world, I was watching big screen movies in theaters, ring side seats to ufc wwe and football in 180 and 360 vr, looking at big photos talking on the phone reading text all on my gearvr, I don't recall they made a big deal about vr then, 😂

                            Oooooh but now it's Apple and Tim Cook they're out there with megaphones 📣 ready to advertise for Apple, lol not one mention of meta and its headsets, no vive, no reverb, no primax crystal, nothing, no Sony psvr

                            This is all new to the world and only apple computer headsets exists right now😒

                            But, still cool to see tho. I'm just saying 🤷‍♂️

                              OK but the real question tho...

                              Did yall see that blonde during the presentation?
                              Whata hottie! 😏

                              Should do a parody of that, hottie blonde working on a presentation with a male director, of course after she comes on to him and then action begins 😉

                                Hurto11 yea no thanks im good with my PICO4 and id use that money towards my Camaro build 😅. thats waaaay too much and can it even be used with anythiing else than Apple products?

                                  Vrsumo2017 lol this reminds me of when a Celebrity talks about something thats already been out and you had tried showing people but they werent interested, and years later now they are all surprised how this new thing a celeb spoke of is here and you’re like 😒 wow these guys 🤦🏻‍♂️ ive been telling them
