I think many of us are just priced out of the future of technology. I still haven't tried VR.

    I bought an OG Vive about 5 years ago on Craigslist for $300 and honestly, it's still usable and a very representative experience of what VR can do, in my opinion. Looks like it can be had for under $200 these days.

    My read of the reviews is that the frame is essentially a wireless vive with inside out tracking and an added computer.

    Well, I mean, it's twice the resolution (2160 vs 1080), half again more on the refresh rates (144 vs 90 Hz), weighs 150g less (409 vs 555 g) and it doesn't have fresnel lenses - if the whole "completely wireless, lighthouse-free, works standalone or with your computer and can stream" wasn't enough of an upgrade lol. It is for me, I put myself on the list for a 256.

    Aside from the tether, which is just a pain in the ass, I won't miss the screen door effect and the god rays.

    Ya, I'm going to convince my work to get one and I'll have my fun through there, but spending so much on VR is too much. I'm just not that into it. I probably would have gotten it if it was less though.
