I am not into VR stuff but is the VR headset made by Valve not good?
It's okay now. It's not the highest fidelity you could get, it's rather expensive, and it has to be tethered to a PC. The Quest and the Pico are half the price of the Index, have better quality displays, lighter headsets, and can run wirelessly without the need for a PC or tracking base stations.
When it was new? Hell yeah, I would have spent a little more to get an Index. They were the best at one point.
It's definitely dated and much more expensive for that older hardware. And that's only in the US. If you live outside of the US, grey market import only and way more expensive.
Its extremely expensive and a bit dated because it needs external lighthouses.
