$1,500 for this:

> Meta Quest Pro comes with all the goods and then some so you can start working, creating and collaborating — Meta Quest Touch Pro Controllers, charging dock with rapid USB-C power adapter, 10 advanced VR/MR sensors, 256GB storage, 12GB RAM, and a Snapdragon XR2+ Qualcomm processor.

Is there even any software that can take advantage of this? Nothing in Meta’s Horizons, afaict.

The Quest was running into hardware problems running things like VRChat and some games. I think this headset is supposed to be able to run those.

Do you mean the specs are too low? Or too high?

I don’t really know if the specs are good for bang for your buck. All I know is that the Quest 2 specs run the existing library pretty well. Paying 5x the price, I would expect a jump from WiiU to PS5, but is there any software that comes close?

The 4x resolution sounds great, but the Quest 2 resolution was already pretty solid. It’s still a great movie watching experience. I’m sure it’s even better with the Pro, but not $1500-for-a-niche-device better
