It's well established that it has the most advanced display of any headset and its not a secret that a better display typically leads to a better viewing experience. I get that people feel like a $300 device is good enough, but if Apple were to drop the price and match the Oculus, and you purchased it at a reasonable price to you, your opinion would be different.

Which is to say, its not based on any objective measure of experience with the device or the technology. But how much expendable income you have compared to others.

Agreed that this is a super luxury super early adopter purchase -- on those terms, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Otherwise -- wait four years. The hardware needs two revs, and the software needs two revs, plus an app ecosystem.

That said, it could become absolutely indispensable very quickly if OpenAI builds a quality spatial app. Like, this summer. We'll see.
