    Gotta wonder what they're thinking.

    Things I've read indicate that the device has had a troubled development, and several top-tier execs are distancing themselves from it.

    It's clunky (you need an external power supply to run it).

    Rumored to be VERY expensive ($1500 and up???)

    Strikes me as being a solution to a non-existent problem.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I’m still waiting for stats on injuries suffered while wearing virtual reality headsets. Tried one a couple years ago. It was cool, but they have a ways to go yet.

        VR is a bit of fun, not a $1500 outlay for something that will rapidly become obsolete.

        I was only joking

          I'm with you. Besides, I waste enough time on computers as it is.
