    This could have been an absolutely insane product, if they sold it without all the useless bullshit like the facial passthrough, at a decent price. As it is, especially given how fragile it is, it’s just a toy at best.

    It’s basically taken the exact opposite route of something like the Xbox Kinect, which turned from a toy into something people use in science

      How they can justify that price for a headset with no third strap is beyond me. If I’m paying three grand for a headset, it had better feel like nothing is on my face.

      Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you’re done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.

      Setting timers for eggs and pasta isn’t one.

        If they had just sold a unit that was a virtual desktop display, it could have been a useful product that people wanted to use.

        Instead, this bloated useless thing…bleh.
