Or a quest and a Vive DAS
Some people are happy to pay extra to keep Zuckerberg out of their homes.
Quests are sold at a loss though.
Update:
Just realised that I was confusing the Cosmos with the Index. Point still stands that the Quest is subsidised by Facebook, but the value proposition of the Quest 2 is admittedly much better than the Cosmos based on real-world performance (i.e.tracking issues, etc).
Reviews suggest for less than half the price, the Quest 2 takes a giant dump on the vive cosmos.
I have to hand it to Facebook/Oculus, I picked up a Quest 2 on release and have been nothing but thoroughly impressed.
Native Quest is awesome, and once I upgraded my router to a high end Asus one, virtual desktop has been a dream.There was some great article about some chap that got his Facebook account randomly banned…and as a consequence lost his oculus account/games lol. Ouch.
Yep - thats literally the only downside of Quest imo… and is literally the only reason I still have a facebook account.
Me too. I never had Facebook, and created an account that is exclusively used for Oculus.
I still don't have the Facebook app on my phone, and ensured that the Oculus app has as few permissions as possible. I would like to remove it entirely, but it's actually really useful to share views of what the user is playing.
still waiting on my quest 2 to replace my psvr; unfortunately been hampered by fedex and covid so it's been delayed a week or so :(

Visible light tracking implementation was simply not a good idea for VR headset that costs this much
I’ve had a cosmos and I’ve returned it. I thought I could get the cosmos to replace my original HTC.
Few issues:
Controller tracking is an issue. Loses tracking when your hands are out of sight from the HMD camerasGeneral tracking issues when moving in a space
Controllers are bulky, bangs on the HMD a few times when you’re trying to use FP aiming.
Painted surface of the HMD is easily scratched
Gets really warm after 1 hours of playing
HMD is a great upgrade from the original Vive but besides that it’s not
Had one for about a year… Invest in something else its not worth half that price…
There's about a half dozen better ways to spend $888 on VR gear.
I can confirm that HP G2 Reverb is much better than the Cosmos. Better tracking and much newer at the same price.
Lol I can get two oculus quest cheaper than that
