Hmm, if I was looking to upgrade from the Quest 2 and didn't mind losing my Meta-only games, as a user of Steam for much of my VR stuff, I might be tempted by the Pico 4 Ultra. 

No special desire to play the Quest exclusives such as Batman Arkham VR.

On the other hand, ByteDance isn't exactly much of an ethical step-up from Meta. Hey-Ho!

Rumours abound that Valve will release a new set soon, but I don't know if it'd be standalone as they never were before. I wish they'd hurry up, pc-link VR is my particular thing and now MS have ditched WMR I have to not update Windows fully to keep my Reverb G2 going. I want a displayport connection! And at the moment that means Pimax Crystal, which is enormous, not flawless, and expensive.
