      With the little box doohickeys it’s currently $1300 CAD. I believe it used to be more.

        What boxes? The 1k pack comes with two base stations. You mean if you want to add 2 more? Then yea, fair.

    But it’s not required, there are much cheaper options, especially today with used quest 2 devices.

      The “other reasons” people aren’t buying affordable VR setups is because they don’t trust Meta or their privacy policies.

        That is why those other VR sets are so cheap.

        With valve, you’re paying for the hardware. With Meta, you’re the product
