# mostly just notes for myself currently I'm thinking probably an HTC Vive Pro 2. full kit is $1400 USD :| next was likely like, a Valve Index. started with => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_virtual_reality_headsets this list and sorted by most-recent. I went with these based on these criteria: * fuck facebook (so no oculus or meta or whatever) * tethered (I don't want to to have to rely on their VR-specific computer) * has to play job simulator because the kid has been bugging me to play that for the last like, 4 years. XD * not discontinued first on the list was a like, Varjo Aero? but after clicking through various websites, eventually it showed me a price of like, $2000... that's a bit much. kind of looks like Aeros are kind of hard to actually find anyway. most of these companies have moved away from tethered anyway :/ ok, so for a Vive Pro 2... just the headset on new egg is like, $800
