I Shouldn't Want The Apple Vision Plus As Much As I Do

So we now have an official release date and price for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Apple Vision Plus. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:February 2, $3,499. More if you need special prescription inserts. Altogether with taxes and accessories, you’re likely to spend well over $4,000. It’s an extremely expensive first generati✃on device designed to test the viability of a mostly-unproven market. And while it will have some custom-designed software from the start, there’s a good chance that the devic♛e won’t reach its potential for months or even years. And I want it so bad it hurts.

I shouldn’t really want this device. I already own multiple virtual reality headsets that I don’t use enough. While I love my Meta Quest 3 and PS VR2, neither has dominated my life. In the early day♍s of the pandemic, the original Meta Quest was on my head for hours a day showing me beautiful international landscapes and also naked people. Now I mostly use my headsets when I want to watch Oppenheimer on a giant screen or to help me focus on a regular game because my brain is pinballing everywhere. That is all to say, I do not need more virtual reality headsets.

Bu🌃t I want the Apple Vision Plus so much! It does everything my current virtual reality headsets do, but with a clearer screen and with $3,000 more debt for me! I can load up App Store games like Slay the Spire and play them as if they’re floating in front of my face! True, I could load up Slay the Spire right this moment on Virtual Desktop and do the same thing, but that requires a whole extra step! Steps take so much work. As far as I can tell, the Apple Vision Plus gives me one or two fewer steps to play a game I’ve already poured hundreds of hours into.

I know I sound sarcastic. And the thing is - I don’t even know if I am right now! Part of me is making fun of it, and the other part of me desperately wants it. The device looks so silly that it circles back around to cool. Plus, I live alone and I will die alone so it’s not like there’s anybody in my household who&rs♌quo;s going to judge me for getting mad at social media apps while floating through my ideal ‘90s version of cyberspace. The only person who would judge me for spending $3,499 on this headset is myself and every other person who found out that I paid $3,499 for this headset. They’d also ask me how I was going to pay for it and then I’d ask the editors here if I could pick up a few extra columns, pretty please?

It is a tragedy that every quirk of the Vision Pro that people make fun of is something I want. I want my eyes animated onto a goofy little screen on the front of the goggles so I look like I’m alwꦗays about to go skiing. I want to be the person who takes out a Vision Pro on an airplane and makes it impossible for the fli💃ght attendant to know if I’m sleeping, captivated, or dead. Look, I’m even down with carrying the device’s magical power pack. I had an original Nintendo Game Boy rechargeable battery pack; those were huge. It’s fine. I’m fine.

Maybe it’s the fact that it is $3,499 that makes it so mysteriously appealing. I’ve only owned virtual reality headsets that are the low, low price of just a mere $500. I’m a sucker who grew up kinda broke - something that expensive must be special or it wouldn&rs🍷quo;t be that e𒀰xpensive! Have I been fooled by this premise before? Yes! Dozens of times! My closet is a graveyard of electronics that should never have been purchased but will eventually be donated. But still - it’s $3,499! That also puts it just out of reach as a fun ‘screw it’ purchase. And rather than making it less appealing, it just makes me want it more.

That all said, I don’t know if I’m going to get the Vision Pro. At least not at launch. If it’s anything like an Origin PC, I’ll simply open the store page and think about buying it over and over. Add to cart. Delete from cart. Add to cart. Delete from cart. But never purchase because, really, it’s still $3,499. But I’ll want it. I’ll watch it. I’ll go to a physical, real human store and try it out using my dorky VR prescription glasses that, yes, I do own. And then one day, when I&rsqu🐽o;m at my lowest moment, when I need to feel anything, it will be mine.
