I spent $3500, which I did not have at the time, to buy the vision pro. I really suffered trying to make up for spending so much money that I do not have. However, I knew it was a dumbass decision. But I still sent it because I know everything works out in the end. If I could go back in time, id buy it again. Between entertainment and my work flow I love using it. Though I primarily use it for work. As someone with severe and violent adhd it helps me stay focused very well
You are literally the only person I've ever heard of who uses the vision pro after the first week
if that was true then you should he able to buy a used one for dirt cheap.
The people who wasted their money on it are all rich and don't want to take a write down because of sunk cost. Demand is so weak they are already discontinued

These are from five months ago lol the thing is a flop. VR is stupid. You couldn't pay me to strap some shit to my face like that.
I have a Meta Quest 3 that i use every single day. I bought it specifically so I could use AceXR, which is a "game" that's a dry fire practice simulator. It's significantly improved my shooting ability, since I now get feedback, and I've saved tens of thousands in ammunition prices versus going to a shooting range every single day. No, it's not perfect--there's no recoil control in dry fire simulation--but it's very, very good for what it is.
People saying that VR is stupid sound a lot like people that didn't see any reason to switch to LED from CRT.
