I think the simple answer is that Apple lets you return something no questions asked. So why not buy one on credit, try it, and have your money refunded before

I bought the original watch with that plan in mind (try it out, get an idea of what it might be like, then return it and buy v3).
In the watch case I knew after two days I wasn't going to return it. But for the VP, that seems unlikely (and that even though I used to work in AR).

I really enjoy my psvr2, but I'm never going to have that headset on for more than an hour a day every few days. I thought the Quest was a complete game changer for the first month, then put it away never to be used again. It looks like both Apple and Meta have moved the needle on the overall experience, but it seems that there is still a long way to go to get VR to the, perhaps impossible, point where it becomes as ubiquitous as mobile phones. VR remains a non-essential novelty and likely might forever remain such.
