Headset price is fine. It's controllers + base stations that make it skyrocket.

Okay. I'm not as stoked about VR as I was 3 or so years ago when I preordered the Vive and the OR. This time I'll wait.

Is it? All reviews so far say otherwise... The tracking apparently is great and some say even more precise than with the cameras. Controllers are the same, LCD vs OLED is apples to oranges just like with the index. Looks more like little bit upgraded rift with less cables and full room scale tracking without 3 fucking cameras.
The switch to better filled RGB pattern, better optics (less god rays) and elimination of cameras is a worthy upgrade. The only downgrade confirmed 100% is shitty speakers. Original rift had very good koss porta pro headphones built it
I wouldn't jump to any conclusions until You've actually compared both...

Sold out in less than 30 minutes. https://uploadvr.com/index-preorders-sold-out/
| Quote: | Preorders for the $999 Valve Index full bundle have now fully sold out. The preorder button has been replaced with a Reserve button, with the full bundle reading “Ships by Sep 30, 2019” in the USA.
In the USA, the initial shipment for the bundle sold out in less than 30 minutes. As of today it is also sold out in other supported regions, though they don’t list an availability month.
The other packages are more available, with the headset and controllers still listed as shipping by July 31. Controllers or base stations alone ship by June 28.
Of course, this doesn’t really tell us anything about how well Index preorders sold. We don’t know how many units Valve is producing, or what the company’s sales expectations were. But being sold out after less than a day does indicate the launch wasn’t a failure. Some expected that the $999 pricepoint would be too high for many, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. |

Are they stupid?
Because both can be true: successful launch and many people finding the price too high. 
At least they address that they have no clue on how many units were sold I guess.  |

only reason i didn't go for a rift s is the lack of manual ipd :/
it seemed like the perfect headset value vs pricerange, but i guess it comes at a cost of only one display hence no manual ipd.
would've ordered an index but just can't justify it without actually having seen some reviews.
i don't mind doing a little investment if it's worth it at this point in time, not if it looks like it'll get replaced again in less than a year.

software might get around the sweetspot issue when it comes to the actual image but there's no fix for physically looking at the lenses from the real sweetspot.
it was the same issue for me on the oculus go when i tried it, the eyestrain got pretty bad if your ipd isn't near the average they made the device for.

People, being livestock that they are, only need to hear the words "limited stock" before they bite completely over.

vr is amazing. Just needs better resolution, less glare and less sweating/heat and it's done!
Really interested to try quest, rift s and obviously index.

3D and VR have very little to do with each other, they honestly have as much to do with each other as books and comics do (...they are both on paper!!!), so there's no point in comparing them.

And all "comic books" being "books"? The word "book" is in the name even so surely they are almost the same thing!!!1
Nope, different medium, audiences, trends, etc.

Watch a 3d movie in vr in app like bigscreen.
That's the real 3d.

Why does the Index have to be released during a heat wave? Fuuuuuck
I don't think I'll be able to play when it arrives. It's too fucking hot!

what? why would 3D be shit? stereoscopic 3D is amazing. 2D is actually shit if you've ever seen proper stereoscopic 3D... at least for 3D games (not much point make 2D games in 3D, other than giving the background depth).
There are a few shit 3D movies, sure, but that doesn't make the tech shit.. tons of crappy VR game as well, still that doesn't make VR bad.

well thats known and been documented numerous times and nothing new beyond the authors feelings is there 
Although i wish some real journalist took a look there ... but well there is barely anyone worth to be called journalist among "gaming jurnous"TM ... its mostly just press release copypasters and bloggers
