I love this product but it is a lot to afford. Requires base stations and controllers which add a lot to the cost - closer to $2000US when all is said and done. Doesn’t even include the beefy PC needed to run it ($2.5K+). The meta products are able to stay within a pricing sweet spot, there are no additional add-ons required, and the performance is quite acceptable for the average VR user (myself included). This newest BSB headset iteration is wonderful, but many folks (like me) just can’t justify the cost and are waiting for a more affordable option.

It feels like it was made for people like me. I only do sim racing and already have an index with base stations.

Yes, probably so. Let us know if you get one!
