Right and in a year it will be outdated + overpriced hardware, rather than just overpriced. Like, steam box haven’t teached you a thing?
Given the current chip market there’d be a 400+ USD upcharge from the previously stated price of “below the (Valve) Index”

I can already run cyberpunk on my pc. I want this so I can now see it in VR in higher quality than my current headset, wirelessly, with a much less bulky format.

It might be outdated, but it won’t be overpriced. Meta made it clear their next headset will not be subsidised. And Pico are saying their next headset will be a Apple Vision Pro competitor.

lol why would you try to compete with something that no one’s buying

So you saying they all will be overpriced? How that contradicts what I just said?

It’s not overpriced if that’s what components and comparable hardware costs now and in the future, it’s just the new normal.

It’s more than good enough for CPU imo but the GPU is going to really struggle. I think though most people just want onboard processing for the foveated streaming support and plan to use it with an actual PC, where I’ve heard the headset is extremely comfortable and lightweight despite what is then an overspecced processor
For standalone it should be faster than a Quest 3, so I think it’s a stretch to call it outdated, it’s still not great though

Sort of a synonym for markup, an additional cost on top of the original planned price.
