The $1K thing is a bit of a myth nowadays, technology has marched on since the VR debut. This is especially true with the RX480, which is subjectively adequate[1] even for the high-end HMDs. Oculus themselves recommend a $800 PC[2]. > To say nothing of the lack of killer software For some reason, the worst experiences seem to get the most airtime (e.g. Job Simulator). My best guess is that this comes from Twitch, because it's funny to watch someone doing something mundane? Either way, the true gems get overshadowed. If you ever do get to try a device, the one title that sells it is "Universe Sandbox 2." It's on the spectrum of killer software, but not quite there yet - it gives people, especially children, access to times and places that they could never go.
