Exactly. With PC VR headsets there is viable competition, but we desperately need real competition for Meta Quest headsets.
I still wish Microsoft still worked on windows mixed reality headsets. I only bought one because it was $30. It was the most fun I've had in a long time.
@Anivia@feddit.org @FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca Quest is hard to compete with since Meta has driven the cost fairly low, pretty sure Frame is going to have a somewhat higher price tag, hopefully so much less than the Index that it matters.
I would not mind a higher price. As it stands the Meta Quest has no serious competition regardless of your budget. Paying a premium to have the peace of mind that Zuckerberg isn't spying on what I do in private while using the headset would be a fine tradeoff. And potentially having access to the SteamVR library without needing to connect to a gaming pc would be the icing on the cake.
I'm expecting to pay around what the Index costs. I can get a Quest for quite a lot less but I'm refusing all of that Meta business.
