For $300 the Quest 2 is the product of the decade. Buy one, seriously, just buy one. I paid 2200 for an iPad pro M1, but I haven't spent an hour with it since I got it 3 months ago. The oculus has 100% of my attention. I watch YouTube, browse the web, online shop, socialize, work, play games with it. I have the extended battery and run 2x 5 hour charges down a day. You want to see the future ^ it's for sale.

It requires a Facebook account and an internet connection, no? All the Quests were bricks for the duration of the Facebook outage.

I bought an Oculus Rift CV1 and it was an insulting experience. Huge amounts of enforced updates, internet connection abuse, and general Facebook shenanigans. Fool me once... I will buy one when it's an open platform or standalone peripheral. Not before.

It doesn't require constant internet connection, most of games run fine offline. It's still scary to have Facebook-owned device with cameras in home.

As for open standalone platform, Lynx will soon become available. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stanlarroque/lynx/

Would you also pay double that amount? That's how much it costs where I live and probably in many other places too. And you can say what you want, even $300 is not an amount I want to risk going down the drain because Facebook had yet another wave of "oops you're banned now too bad" events.

I will not even touch anything Facebook for free nowadays, to be honest. It's only a matter of time until great alternatives exist.

Double? I'd pay 10x that and still be happy. It's outperforming my $4600 MBP for utility. I don't understand why you need to pay double is that import tax? I could relay ship you one potentially.

And the porn, is very different. That's all I'm going to say. (Wow)
