  Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.

  I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.

    FYI, technically Meta/Facebook had already owned Oculus for something like five years before the original Quest came out. They just started getting really blatant about the branding shortly after that time, probably to acquiesce to Zuck Zuck and his huffing of his “metaverse” crack pipe increasingly frequently.

  Yeah, I’m debating getting this one as my first headset. It looks dope.

    Dooo it! If you can afford it, it will probably be a little pricey.

      They said it will be a direct competitor for the Meta Quest 3, so I’m guessing around $400. I’ve been waiting for Valve to drop exactly this!

        Ooh, that price sounds amazing. I would have guessed at least 800.
