Incompatible with AMD cards and Windows only, meh

Yeah not supporting AMD is a major problem for me.

:/

But I hope the form factor catches on, that'd be a huge step forward

That photoshopped picture looks misleadingly smaller than the product images when you go to pre order it.

It sounds fucking amazing but the sketchy vibes are overwhelming. Also you cant cancel your order or request a refund once you've placed your preorder. Wtf is that?

I really want this headset on paper. Hopefully it has rave reviews from pcvr come release.

is this essentially bigscreen beyond without custom face scan gasket?

That passthrough section is funny. It's like they keep getting asked about it and pulled a Blizzard "What you guys don't have phones?" moment "What you guys can't just lift up your headset?". I think people want passthrough for AR mostly, but that might be because I only use the headset for gaming and not work

Headset looks super comfortable and with great specs

It was at CES 8 months ago as a prototype, but had anything actually happened with it? I can't see any dates on the site and the preorder doesn't work.
