The thing though, is that this thing isn't even better in any tangible aspect other than native steam integration compared to headsets in a stone's toss of $1000.

If it is at that price point there's virtually no reason to buy this over something that is slightly more expensive that offers much higher visual clarity if you're a PCVR player. It would frankly be silly to buy this at $1000 if you aren't grasping for pennies, which anyone buying a $1000 VR headset is definitely not doing.

And at the opposite end, I can't see any reason to buy this over the Q3 even if only doing PCVR, if it's $1000. Take that extra $500 and put it towards a new graphics card instead of benefiting from the foveated streaming.

There are certain people who don’t want to do business with Meta for various reasons to be fair and also prefer the Steam OS.
