'Haha! Yes, that brings back memories. And remember those two other things, oh, what were thay called again...?' 'Eyes! They were eyes!' 'Yes, that's them! Do you miss them?' '... (sad) ... I miss tears.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But clearly it's economical to those who can SPEND £6k for a dinner. It's like buying a bag of chips to them...if I got the calculation right!. Mind you, a soup bowl sized chips will cost you just short of £5.......these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin1234 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I got my kids vr headsets last Xmas. They have those meta quest 2's. Awesome gadgets, and yeah I've been into the metaverse (horizon worlds) and had an explore. It's mainly kids in there swearing and playing shooting games with each other etc. I did go to a free concert with hologram of Biggie Smalls which was cool. It really stung buying 2 of those at £300 a pop. But I knew they run a modified Android software, and that I could enable developer mode and pirate the games so I don't need to pay for them. The massive issue I see with this apple thing, firstly is the ridiculous price tag. Secondly, you won't be able to pirate anything so it's going to cost a fortune in apps or whatever those apple people spend their money on. I just can't see it taking off at 3 and a half grand a pop. And battery only lasts 2 hours which is probably going to get worse as it gets some use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the tiime comes, your kids will have no problem shooting others....it's just like the game! I'd worry more about the mind control and grooming of kids than the price imo.

It's really no different to playing any other video game or watching a movie. I see what they are trying to do with this AR headset. It's another level. Like putting an overlay on to of actual reality, but it's priced too high to even gain traction IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at increase in child violence compared to when we were kids. It's mind programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velma Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Had a good laugh at this thread, I didn't know the metaverse was so funny! However, I can safely say, I will never, EVER... wear one of these headsets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to any one of them and they rave for minutes about the new iPhone or Macbook or whatever. "Best device I have bought IN MY LIFE." Its like mass Stockholm syndrome. They do not consider money when it comes from Apple. Which is why this type of device was given to Apple to market. I sincerely doubt Apple developed this themselves. This thing may even be developed by a military contractor like Lockheed Martin or Northrop Grumman. Those guys demand a lot of money, so the 3500 USD price tag may come from them. Apple users are going to take out bank loans just to be able to get shafted with this thing by their mothership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
