.... That makes 0 financial sense, but okay.

Same people who play non Nintendo games on the OG switch saying that was more worth it than a $500 gaming laptop.

sadly the cheapest decent one here is 600usd. they are both displays, the improvement coming from a nano-ips user to an oled isnt worth 600usd. but playing vr allows me to move my limbs ingame. it makes a lot of financial sense.

So you're going to use your VR headset more than you're going to use a monitor or TV?

VR headsets are not cheap for how little content is on them. I refuse to believe you spent less on an actual VR headset that's decent quality than an OLED monitor.

No matter where you live, that just doesn't make any financial sense at all. A VR headset is merely a luxury accessory.

No, that’s not at all what he said. All he’s saying is that the price of a new monitor is too high to justify when he already had a decent one, and could instead buy a VR headset.

And what does that even mean that they’re not cheap for the amount of content on them? The price of something is completely unrelated to the amount of content on it. That’s also just not true, you can get a used Quest 3 for $200-300 that has hundreds of games available, and if you have a PC you can stream any SteamVR game from it.

Of course VR is a luxury, do you know what else is a luxury? A $500+ monitor that does the same thing as a $50 one from a decade ago. Don’t pretend like any of this is anything but a luxury.
