I mean

I could say like, I'm from a working class family, never really had anything growing up.

your working class family is a high class in this shithole my dude

That all of my money and components I own are from my own purchases and work.

Not my problem

Speak to your economy.

BR0

Yeah, I am not saying you're at fault for it

You just assume that I'd even have that much money

VR has gotten cheap.

"cheap"

not cheap enough for me

You can build a VR Ready PC and get a HMD for less than £800

In here, for 800 you can buy a car

Hoppity hippity

I'll get VR one day

when I am out of this place

Get a job with my education, and maybe I'll be succesful, if I try hard enough

I do want totry VR, but I'm in no rush and it's only going to get cheaper from here

You can get a certified pre-owned vive for less than $400

And, the index is backwards compatible with the VIVE. Meaning you can slowly upgrade the controllers, HMD, then the tracking one by one.

I don't want to end up with an overpriced underperforming piece of hardware once the industry really gets rolling

Well, that's the choice innit.

I still own my VIVE, despite having an Index.

weren't you the one lecturing me that you're too old to play games and that I am a child because I play minecraft?

Yup, and VR isn't enough of a priority for me to bother about it for another few years. I got other shit to play so no reason not to hold on to my money for now

Imagine blowing 1000's of $ for gaming equipment <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

Don't think of it like equipment.

You have to think of VR like buying a new console.

half life alyx is just a money grab to sell index

Even if it's a console

That's a lot of money, especially when you talk like you're a grownup

I did buy a $1500 gaming computer recently, but that's with the expectation that I won't need to spend money on hardware for at least like 5-6 years

Here's the thing. $1000 contextually isn't too much. 2080 Supers cost that much, 21:9 monitors cost that much. Those things **FLEW** off of shelves when they released.

Index sold out in 3 countries

Although tracking is old tech PSVR is actually pretty great

sure mate

Sure, lots of people will impulse spend a grand

Doesn't make it a good decision
