It is also first generation, and often the first is not as good as the rest.

It is all in one, so in some ways you have to take that into account as you do not need to buy a $2000 pc to get it to work.

But this model also seems to have lots of everything, and I suspect they will have cheaper versions that have less functions.

But...

What we may see is other firms bring out stand alone VR headsets.

To me one problem with other headsets is you seemed to have to be connected to a computer.

Having a standalone may be a huge game changer.

For instance I did think if this was built into a motorbike helmet then you could have the road map and directions on your helmet visor with also the speed your going and how much fuel you have.

Because they are stand alone means they can be used outside and you could have huge adventure games in vr put in the real world with others.
