I would never have put money on it being less than $1k.

Even the index was expensive and that was in a more affordable time period.

    I thought it would even out to about 800 dollars before the component crisis.

    At one point, Valve had stated that they were shooting for a price under the Index, so that would have been below $1k.

    I said this before when they first announced it, but my boss bought the Apple Vision Plus or whatever the hell it was called, and I got to use it, and it was actually a really great experience. Only it's tied to an Apple ecosystem.

    I said then that if Valve could bring in their version and it's 60% as good as the Apple headset for under $1,800 then it would be worth it.

    My only real concern is dealing with scalpers, and I'm probably not going to be an early adopter, but who knows if I get a Christmas bonus this year or accidentally stumble into a couple extra grand, I might just go ahead and pull the trigger on it.
