Can't wait to see people wearing those around the office. Thinking about it. if you remove the desk, monitors, keyboard, mouse and just sit down bunch of programmers next to each other with those goggles it can actually be cheaper for the company to run an office even at 3.5k per headset.

Imagine how many people you can pack in a small space. You only would need 2ft x 2ft space per person and you can put the entire company on a single floor!

A $2k CAD phone I can justify if it’s going to hold me in good stead over the next 6 years and have another 6 full OS upgrades straight from the manufacturer. My iPhone X held up great for 6 years, and only started struggling in 2023.

A $3,500 USD fashion accessory? What are they smoking, and can I have some?

Not trying to be pedantic, but did you mean 2023?

Whoops. Yes, thanks.

If it’s anything like my other VR headsets the novelty wears off in 10.. this runs dangerously close to not getting to the bottom of my cupboard with all the other shithouse headsets

And I thought buying an iPhone was crazy...

Its an apple product, I don't feel like wasting money on overpriced closed source garbage

I wholeheartedly believe that Apple is a marketing company more than a tech company.

Every successful mega corp is a marketing company. Just look at video games where the marketing budget is the same as the development budget.
