Valve index. It requires steam, but can work offline.

All VR is expensive still. Meta quest only goes as low as 650 USD because they subsidize it by spying on you so much.

The Quest 3s is $350 USD.

I must admit I forgot about the 3S. The same idea still applies, though. It's only affordable because of the spying. Plus it's got a lower resolution and fresnel lenses like the Quest 2, but that's probably not as big an issue as people make it out to be.

not having to buy another thing is free though

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

That's true, but your question is about buying another thing that's more privacy-respecting than the thing you already have, so I'm not sure what your point is.
