If youre interested Gamernexus did a review alongside metaquest3. I value my privacy, to that end I’m full-on leaning toward Frame, additional cost up front is nothing compared to what would be lost with Zucks VR iteration, in my mind. No one should tell you how to spend your money though, friend.

Iceu creamu?

Had a huge hit of copium for this thought, bear with me…

What if a separate purchase of a few “minor” items is Valve’s move to do what they can to help bring down the definitely-gonna-be-costly cost of the Frame? I don’t really expect a need for diferent set of hand straps, extra head strap, or a light blocker around my larger than average honker. I see it as a win(??) of sorts where I won’t need to spend the premium for accessory items I don’t need in the end anyway. We know the cost of the Frame is going to be higher than Valve let on (they said expect it to be less than the Index if I recall) but due to rampocalypse, things are more expensive.

If I dont have to pay for extra crap, I’m all for it. Or, if i need those things, I can probably figure out some sort of after market or frugal solution instead.

Aaaaaaand… exhale.

EDIT: I reread your post, and my response seems like I’m side stepping your point. My bad. I’ll leave my post as is anyway. I do not disagree with you.

My body is ready.

My wallet isn’t though.
