    $1400 for the base station, headset, and controllers, in addition to needing a very beefy GPU. Whew. I'd love to experience it at some point, but that is a steep price point.

      Still I can appreciate how cost prohibitive the bundle is for new buyers.

    I used to have an Oculus Rift DK2. 1080p was just far too low of a resolution to make VR palatable to me, but at the time I felt 4K and above would be the threshold of acceptable quality. I'm excited that something like this is finally available from a major player in VR hardware. I don't think I'll buy one this year due to GPU availability, but one day I hope to have a sweet VR setup with one of these.

    I'm not quite ready to upgrade from my Samsung Odyssey+, but I think this device is more compelling than people online are giving it credit for. Coupled with the wireless adapter and Knuckles controllers, this might be the best current VR experience available. It smokes the Index on visual fidelity (though this would be limited via wireless), and really only loses out on audio.

    I'd love to give it a try.
