I'm going to have a bit of a hot take, judging by the comments here. $1k is exactly what I expected when they made the announcement that it was in development, and it's what I put aside for it. Would it be nice if it cost less? Of course it would. However, $1K is what the Index cost, and I would consider the Frame to be a substantial upgrade as a solid, daily driver headset.
As an HTC Vive adopter, ordering an ergo kit sounds par for the course for VR. You usually don't need one unless you plan on playing for 4+ hours, so I expect the Frame will feel similar in that regard. Since I like flight sims, I plan to get the head strap or fabricate one.
As for people complaining "it only has one game", you clearly haven't been paying attention on Steam. There is a massive library of dedicated VR games, as well as a plethora of "pancake" games with VR support. Most games on the Meta store are also on Steam, as well.
My go-to games are Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Handgrenades; Elite: Dangerous, DCS, Derail Valley, Pavlov, TribeXR, Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, SUPERHOT, Assetto Corsa, Battle Zone Gold, and a VR mod for MechWarrior 5. I'm planning to get some QoL mods for Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR and giving those a run.
